My Beloved Has Risen from Death's Embrace novel Chapter 169

Xanthea looked perplexed. "Why didn't you just tell me directly?"

"Although I've known him for a while, we haven't spent much time together. He always seems so aloof and indifferent, like he's not really interested in anything. I can't figure out what he likes. Since you're his assistant, you must know everything about him!"

The CEO indeed didn’t seem to have any particular interests, except for one person, whom he treasured obsessively.

Perhaps, loving her had exhausted all his energy.

"The CEO always keeps his personal feelings separate from work, so I don't know much. But rather than what he likes, I think what he needs is more important. Given his current condition, what he really needs is probably sleep. Only proper rest can help him recover faster."

"Sleep?" Xanthea was puzzled. "Is there anything I can do? I mean, I can't just join him in bed, can I?"

"Actually, you can!"

Cedric suddenly had his eyes light up at the suggestion, which confused Xanthea.

"No, Ms. Nightshade, don't get me wrong. I just remembered the last time on the plane, you fell asleep next to him, and soon after, he fell asleep too."

"It’s really amazing. The CEO has had severe insomnia, and he can't sleep well in unfamiliar environments or if there are strangers around. But somehow, he falls asleep when he sees you. It’s like magic."

Xanthea was stunned. Was her presence really that soothing?
