The Windfalls of Love (Roxanne and Harrison) novel Chapter 65

Sure thing, Harrison couldn't let Vincent hear his inner thoughts.

He was so fixated on Roxanne that he forgot about his breakfast.

When Roxanne looked up as she was serving a bowl of soup, her gaze met Harrison's.

His eyes were a bit deep and mysterious, making it hard to guess what he was thinking.

She asked, "Harrison, why are you looking at me like that? Are you guarding yourself against me, worried I might kiss you again?"

Harrison lowered his head to continue eating his breakfast and replied, "Don't sweat it, I'm not that narcissistic."

"That's good. Don't worry either, I won't have the urge to kiss you unless I've had a drink. You know, alcohol can reduce a person's self-control."

"So you're saying, you plan to kiss me when you're sober, but you just need a little liquid courage to do it?"

"I won't sugarcoat it. You're definitely charming, and I do appreciate your looks. But about kissing you, I just wanted to know what a first kiss feels like. I wasn't plotting anything."

She admitted that Harrison's appearance was pleasing to her, b

ut did she really have no ulterior motives?

She needed to set the record straight.

One moment, Harrison was feeling on top of the world.

The next, he felt deflated.

She just wanted to experience a first kiss?

He furrowed his eyebrows and said, "In a situation like yesterday, what would any guy have done for your first kiss?"

"Oh please." Roxanne explained, "Do you think I'm that easy? Even if I'm drunk and my self-control is lowered, I still know my limits. If you weren't my husband, would I have tried it with you?"

Hearing this, Harrison was once again grateful to Vincent for making him Roxanne's legal husband.

Otherwise, would he not have had the chance to let her try yesterday?

But did Roxanne just want to experience the feeling of a kiss, and therefore wanted to try it with him?

Didn't she have any other thoughts about him?

This question was constantly echoing in Harrison's mind.

After breakfast, Harrison rode Roxanne's electric bike to the subway station.

As usual, he pretended to enter the subway station, then once Roxanne left, he got into a Rolls-Royce.

The car drove into the company building, stopping in front of the grand statue at the entrance.

"Mr. Harrison, we've arrived at the company."

Harrison was lost in thought.

Anthony reminded him, "Mr. Harrison, we've arrived at the company."

Harrison didn't get out of the car but looked at Anthony who was reminding him, and asked,

"Anthony, do you have a girlfriend?"

Anthony

wondered, why Mr. Harrison was suddenly asking this question.

Was he worried that dating would affect his work?

As Mr. Harrison's personal driver, he had to be on call 24/7, so even when he was dating, he never had enough time to spend with a girlfriend.

He was worried that if he spent time with his girlfriend, and Mr. Harrison suddenly needed to use the car, it would interfere with his work.

He put down his bag and asked Alexander, "When was the last time you spent time with your wife Hazel?"

Alexander was a bit surprised. "Why are you suddenly asking this?"

Harrison said, "I'm giving you two days off, go home and spend some quality time with Hazel."

Alexander tried to joke, "Mr. Harrison, you're in a good mood today?"

Harrison shot back, "You could always choose to keep working, you know."

Alexander replied, "I'd love to be back home with Hazel, but someone's got to handle that project in Europe, and that someone is me."

"You're the one who doesn't want to go back, don't pin this on me."

"Alright, alright, Mr. Harrison, I've got something serious to tell you. Don't get all cranky afterwards."

"Is it work-related? If not, hold your horses till lunch."

Right now, he needed to be all in on work.

Lately, he'd been getting distracted a lot while working, for reasons that eluded him.

Most of the time when he zoned out, he'd pick up his phone, itching to shoot a text to Roxanne.

However, even when he did text Roxanne, she didn't always hit him back right away.

Waiting for her response, he'd keep glancing at his phone.

His productivity was going down the drain.

Harrison didn't want to keep this up. He needed to cut out all the distractions, hence his refusal to entertain non-work-related discussions during work hours.

However, Alexander deliberately baited, "You sure you don't want to hear this? It's about your marriage, and it involves Roxanne too, you know."
