Adrian soon brought a basin of hot water and handed it to Henry. Adrian wiped his hands with a tissue and the two of them went in the office together.
"Mr. Shi, here's the hot water." Henry put the hot water in front of John and Nina and stood aside. Then Adrian immediately stood beside Henry.
They stood together, like two door gods.
John had no time to talk to them. He dipped a towel in hot water and then gently wiped the mud off Nina's feet with the warm towel. At the same time, he blew softly, hoping to relieve some of her pain.
In fact, Nina didn't feel much pain, but she was used to showing her thoughts in front of John. Even if she felt only a little painful, she would tell John.
In this way, she could see his tenderness.
John treated others coldly, but in front of Nina, he was gentle.
Nina liked his tenderness and smile.
John held her feet with one hand, and gently put his fingertips on the soles of her feet. His fingers moved to wipe her feet tenderly.
The itch from the soles of the feet made Nina shrink her feet.
"Does it hurt?" John stopped and looked up at her.
His dark eyes were full of pity and apology.
"No." Nina said, "It's a little itchy."
"Are you afraid of the itch?" John smiled faintly.
"A little." The cleaning finished. She withdrew her feet and sat on the sofa.
John opened a box and took out a pair of white fluffy slippers. There was a white elk on the head of each shoe.
"So soft." Nina put her feet in the shoes and shook her feet. "And they're beautiful. It's a pity to use them as home shoes."
John smiled and said nothing.
"Mr. Shi, we are leaving now." As John's assistant, Henry assisted in not only the company affairs, but also John's personal affairs. He knew what he should do without John's reminding. At this moment, he knew that he should carry the basin.
When Henry bent down and was about to carry the basin, Adrian patted him on the back of his hand and asked, "What are you doing? Is this what you should do?"
Henry was speechless.
He thought, 'Any problems?'
"No, you can't do such things anymore." Adrian answered his own question. He raised his head and said to John, "John, I have something to discuss with you today. Henry will be my assistant in the future."
Adrian was sure that John would approve it since it was John who asked Henry to be Adrian's assistant.
"No." John refused decisively.
"Why?" Adrian was disappointed.
Adrian thought that Henry was very capable and that working as CEO's assistant was unworthy of his talents. Adrian planned to invest in different industries, including all promising industries.
He needed Henry.
"I need him." John said frankly.
Adrian immediately became irritable, "I also need him!"
"Ahem..." Henry pushed his glasses up.
"Don't cough. I'm serious. John, I really need him."
"Me too." John didn't give in at all.
Adrian didn't give in either. "You can recruit another assistant. I can't change my assistant."
John said calmly, "Everything is possible."
"Everything is possible, except for changing my assistant. I only want him." Adrian was determined.
Henry blushed with shyness.
Nina felt strange when she saw that two men fought for the same man. "Why don't you ask for the opinion of Henry?"
Adrian said, "You're right! We should ask Henry. He had the final say on this matter. Henry, do you want to stay here or go to the Song Group with me?"
Henry hesitated, "I..."
