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.
