Chapter 1484
After Madeline went in, she closed the door. She walked to the coffee machine routinely and with ease before making coffee for Jeremy.
Jeremy sat in front of the desk as he watched Madeline making coffee. A subtle light flashed across his bottomless eyes.
He did not say anything. His long and thin fingers controlled his mouse while his narrow eyes stared at his desktop, but he was not working. Instead, he was playing some games to pass time.
He did not have any urgent proposals to look through. The reason he stayed in the study was that he did not like to go back to his bedroom nowadays.
Jeremy played his game and glanced at Madeline occasionally. When he saw her bringing the coffee over when it was ready, he closed the tab for his game and opened a file for work to pretend he was reading some documents seriously.
Madeline glanced at the screen of the computer nonchalantly and placed the coffee in front of Jeremy.
“Mr. Whitman, the coffee’s ready. Watch out, it’s hot.”
“Okay,” Jeremy replied lazily and picked up the coffee to take a sip. “How do you know that I like more milk and less sugar in my coffee?”
“…” Madeline was taken aback when she heard that. Then, she showed a look of surprise. “Is that really such a coincidence? I like more milk and sugar in my coffee as well. I didn’t think that you’d like it too.”
“Is that so?” Jeremy sounded like he was lamenting. Then, he asked, “Aren’t you tired?”
Madeline shook her head, and her longing gaze was glued to Jeremy’s handsome face. “Not yet. Do you need me for anything else, Mr. Whitman?”
Jeremy pointed at the bookshelf next to him. “I haven’t tidied up my bookshelf for some time. Some books are not organized. Please help me categorize them.”
“Okay,” Madeline replied.
As long as she had more time to spend with Jeremy, she would be happy to do anything.
Jeremy stared at Madeline’s busy back and for some reason, the coffee in his mouth started to taste bitter.
