Nathaniel let out a soft grunt in response.

Wondering if she had misheard, Christina asked, “Isn’t it inappropriate for you to skip work during this period?”

“It’s not a big deal,” he murmured lazily. –

He then tightened his arm around her, pulling her close like a doll.

Christina pouted, wondering how a CEO like Nathaniel could possibly understand the struggles of the common folk who have to clock in on time every day.
