Chloe sat there with messy hair, looking at Nova with puppy-dog eyes. "Nova, I'm starving."
Nova had been so deeply in the zone that she completely lost track of time. She quickly apologized to Chloe.
Samuel ushered them both into his office to eat.
When Chloe opened her lunchbox, she immediately noticed the stark contrast.
Hers was a carb-heavy coma waiting to happen: stir-fried rice noodles, beef, white rice, and some bok choy. She knew she'd pass out the second she finished it.
But Nova's box—
"Steamed beef, lamb chops, quinoa, sautéed spinach, roasted asparagus, and cherry tomatoes for dessert."
After listing it out, Chloe looked up at Samuel. "Mr. Wyndham, your favoritism is showing just a little bit."
Nova laughed and offered to trade. "I haven't had stir-fried noodles in forever. Let's swap!"
"No," Samuel cut in sharply, shooting Chloe a pointed look.
Catching on immediately, Chloe waved her hands in surrender. "No, no, it's fine! You eat it, Nova. That stuff gives you energy without the extra weight."
Seeing Chloe insist, Nova didn't push the issue.
But she really was craving those heavy carbs.
The meal Samuel ordered tasted like a bland diet prep... though she had to admit, she *had* thinned out recently.
As she ate the spinach and asparagus, she suddenly remembered eating these constantly during the early days of her pregnancy.
They were incredibly high in folic acid.
Watching her eat, Samuel casually mentioned, "We're sending you abroad for the advanced study program next month. Make sure you clear it with Tristan as soon as possible."
She looked up in surprise. "So soon? I thought we were waiting two months?"
She couldn't shake the feeling that... Samuel was hiding something from her.
Meeting her gaze, he paused for a second before replying.
"They're desperate for top-tier talent like you. It's next month. If you look at the calendar, you have less than two weeks before you fly out. Talk to him soon. Once you leave, you won't be able to come back for at least six months to a year."
