"I'll heat it up in the microwave for you, okay?"
"Oh, please, just eat something. Okay?"
Emmett curls his thin lips into a light smile and snorts.
Elaine immediately rushes to the microwave and puts the lunch box in.
Only then does Emmett have a cunning smile.
Hmph! Oliver, you think you’re the only one who knows how to play with a woman's heart?
I can do this either!
Although it is disgraceful to gain a woman's sympathy in this way, it is not a big deal using this trick occasionally to win Oliver.
Elaine takes out the reheated rice carefully from the microwave and brings it to Emmett.
"Mr. Smith, hurry up and eat. It's hot and delicious. Here, give you a spoon."
Elaine Jones puts the lunch box on the table, then passes him a clean spoon.
Emmett Smith rolls his eyes at her and shuts them again, not wanting to take the spoon.
He doesn't want to eat, nor take the spoon.
Elaine pouts and glances at Emmett, feeling anxious looking at the hot rice.
"Mr. Smith..."
"Unless you feed me."
Emmett says faintly.
"Huh? Feeding you?"
Elaine is stunned.
He is not a child anymore, why should he be fed?
Besides, a strong and mighty man like him suddenly behaving like a child... is indeed unbearable.
"Mr. Smith, get up. Eat it while still hot. Hurry up."
"I said unless you feed me."
"It's not like you have lost your hands, so why do you want me to feed you?"
Elaine does not dare to tell him that anyone who wants her to feed must call her auntie.
"Elaine, can you be a little more aware?"
Emmett sits up and stares at Elaine.
"As my assistant, you are supposed to have lunch at the office today sharing weal and woe with your boss.
But look what you have done! You went out by yourself and betrayed your boss for a gourmet meal."
"Furthermore, being my girlfriend, you not only sneak out, but you also meet with another man. You have caused me feeling bad and having no appetite. So shouldn't you do something to make up to me?"
Elaine lowers her head while holding the spoon. She feels pity being reproved by Emmett.
Emmett knows that he has tamed her, so he lowers his tone and says, "It seems that you don't really care about me. Does it still matter whether I eat this meal or not? Get out."
Elaine hesitates as she just wants to get up and walk away. She sighs and then finally brings over his lunch, scooping up a spoonful and sends it to Emmett's mouth. "Alright, alright. It's my fault. Hurry up and eat."
Emmett tries to hold his laughter and slowly opens his mouth.
Both of them are sitting on the sofa, with Emmett leaning back comfortably. He quietly places his arm around Elaine's waist.
Elaine is feeding Emmett like a baby spoonful by spoonful.
Emmett suddenly furrows his eyebrows and utters, "Oh my...".
Elaine is shocked and quickly asks, "What's wrong with you?"
Emmett's face wrinkles up while pressing down on his stomach with one hand and says, "My stomach hurts..."
"Huh? A stomachache?"
Elaine lays down the lunch box and panics, not knowing what to do, "What should we do? Do you have any antacid for a stomachache? Do you previously have any gastropathy?"
Emmett strokes Elaine's hair and says softly, "I don't have any stomach disease previously. Isn't it because of you... getting on my nerves today..."
...
Emmett falls silent but looks deeply into Elaine's eyes.
Elaine immediately surrenders.
She pouts tearfully, "I'm sorry. I didn't think that the consequences would be so serious. I'll ask you for a leave wherever I go next time. What should we do now? Should I call 120?"
Emmett twitches his lips.
It’s just a stomachache and she wants to call 120? Then it would be busy for the medical personnel for handling these cases.
"No, it should be better if you rub your hands warm over my stomach."
"Oh, okay, I'll rub it."
Elaine immediately puffs some hot air towards both hands and starts rubbing them vigorously.
Her over-serious look makes Emmett want to laugh.
God, this girl is so cute that she takes everything seriously. He can't hold it any longer.
Elaine heats up her hands by rubbing them. Then she pulls up his shirt and put her small hands on Emmett's tummy.
Emmett's body tremors!
Elaine's warm hands are covering his abdomen.
In fact, Emmett wants to correct her about the place she is covering isn't the stomach.
Elaine's soft body leans against Emmett with her sparkling eyes staring at him and asks.
"How is it?"
"What?" Emmett is spaced out!
He is stunned by Elaine's action of warming his tummy.
"I'm asking you if your stomach is feeling better. Does it work? Does your stomach still hurt?"
