The next moment, Moira found herself being handed a box of candies by him. "It's a business trip gift."
Moira looked at the box of candies. "Thank you."
'Sorry, I shouldn't have complained just now!' she wondered.
"You should rest early. It will help recover faster."
Moira had intended to share the candy with him but suddenly changed her mind. "Okay."
Barclay looked at her lowered eyes and unbuttoned his collar. "I'll walk you back to your room."
"Oh, no need..."
Before she could finish, Moira was lifted up by Barclay in the familiar way he used to hug her.
The fresh scent of wood instantly surrounded her, and she instinctively tightened her grip around his neck.
Actually, her leg injury wasn't that bad!
Moira realized what she was thinking and quickly pinched herself!
'Why am I having such awful thoughts? Stop these horrible thoughts right now!' she warned herself inwardly.
Fortunately, Barclay soon carried her to the door of her room.
Moira was put down, quickly loosened her grip, and felt too guilty to meet his gaze. She stole a glance, then averted her eyes. "I'm going to rest now."
"Okay," Barclay responded, but he didn't leave.
Moira glanced at him, blinked, and tightened her grip on the candy box. "Mr. Covington, would you like to try this mango candy?"
For some reason, she just wanted to share it with him.
"Sure."
Upon hearing his response, Moira quickly unwrapped the candy, opened the box, took out two pieces, gave one to Barclay, and popped one into her own mouth.
'It's so sour!' she wondered.
"Wait!"
She stopped Barclay from eating the candy. "It's a bit sour."
As she said this, her brows were still furrowed.
"I can tell," Barclay replied, bypassing her hand and tossing the candy into his mouth.
Indeed, it was sour.
But compared to this, not seeing her for four days was even more unbearable.
The lady in front of him wouldn't know how much he wanted to pull her into his arms right now.
