It was nine o'clock already. Finnley didn't go to the company, he had asked Ivan for leave.
And at the moment, he was making pancakes for Mya in the kitchen. He had intended to call her up after he was done.
While cooking, Finnley glanced at her standing at the kitchen door on one leg, holding the door frame and looking at him in surprise.
"Why didn't you go to work?" asked Mya.
Finnley looked back at the pancake, got it into the plate and said, “I’m not going today.”
Mya was stunned. She had always thought of Finnley as a workaholic that never stopped working all year around.
Soon, he walked toward her with the pancake, wearing an apron. He looked handsome still.
Mya made way for him. After putting the plate on the table, Finnley looked back at her, “the doctor has told you to move as less as possible, didn’t he?”
“I didn’t move my injured leg,” Mya immediately answered.
“Does it still hurt?”
“A little. It’s okay.” Mya looked at him and felt him different from before.
Finnley took off the apron to wash his hands. The sunlight snuck in through the window and fell on his profile.
After washing his hands, Finnley saw her still standing there, “Have the pancakes. You have washed up, haven’t you?” Her hair was in a mess, it seemed she had just woken up.
“Where’s my phone?”
“Over there. Have breakfast first.”
Mya went to the bedroom and came out again five minutes later. “Give me my phone.”
Finnley handed it to her.
Mya sat down and turned on her phone. Her wallpaper was changed!
“Why?” Mya looked up at him in confusion, “Why did you change my wallpaper? I was just forbidden to watch the show.”
“I just think girls like you should watch something meaningful and inspiring,” Finnley sat down opposite her and explained gently.
