“Have you lost your mind? Did you look at the time?” Jonathan had been wandering in his dreams when his phone’s ringtone woke him up.
Groggily, he accepted the call and shouted at Naomi, upset.
“Jonathan, a woman just sneaked into my room!”
“What? Wait for me. I’m coming now.”
The call ended.
A minute later, someone knocked on Naomi’s room door.
Naomi peeked through the peep-hole. She only opened the door when she realized it was the tall teenager she was waiting for.
The moment she saw Jonathan, her pounding heart finally came down from her throat.
“Don’t be scared,” Jonathan consoled when he noticed her frightened look. “What happened?”
After hearing Naomi’s explanation, the teenager’s expression darkened. “It seems like the person who drugged you has no idea how the drug would react. That’s why she came to check on you.”
Suddenly, a thought popped into his head as he stared at Naomi. “Have you felt anything off recently?”
Naomi blushed.
Her heart was racing when the handsome teenager stared into her eyes.
It was a feeling that was taking her breath away.
Averting her eyes, she hung her head and mumbled, “Don’t… Don’t come so close to me.”
Jonathan did not understand the meaning of her words. His lashes fluttered, and he leaned even closer to her, confused. She could almost see the small pores on his face. “What did you say?”
Forget it.
Naomi silently crept backward. She could almost feel Jonathan’s hot breaths on her skin.
Why is he coming so close to me?
Does he not realize that he’s handsome?
Why is he leaning his idol-like face so close to mine?
He’ll quicken the girl’s breathing and race her heart. She’ll- I’ll die from the lack of oxygen!
When she was Jonathan’s assistant, she was immune to his attractive looks. After all, her two brothers were specimens of male beauty. Few were comparable to them.
However, after Jonathan saved her…
Naomi realized she could not stay too close to him. If they were not a distance away, she found it difficult to breathe. It was an uncomfortable sensation.
It can’t be because of the drug, can it? Are my feelings part of its side effects?
“Naomi, I’m talking to you. Quick, tell me, have you been feeling unwell?” Jonathan urged.
Has she been frightened out of her wits? Hasn’t she collected herself yet?
“M-My heart is pounding, m-my face is burning up, and my body too. It’s uncomfortable.” Naomi was now sure that it was because of the drug.
As she spoke, she fanned herself with her hand.
“What do we do? Why don’t you rest today? I’ll ask for a leave from Maxwell,” Jonathan said after a moment of contemplation.
“I-I can still work.” Just don’t come too close to me.
Naomi kept the second part of the sentence to herself.
However, she was anxious. She felt as if she had stepped right into a mystery she could not solve.
In the Field family villa.
“Joseph, ask Ashlyn if she can remove the scar on Lottie’s face.” Fae pulled her son to a corner. “Although the doctor said that it’s impossible the last time, I just want to try.”
“Sure. I’ll ask her later.” Joseph swept his gaze at the floor above. When he realized that there was no sign of that familiar girl, he muttered, “Mom, she seems to be connected with the Fraser family. I’ve done some investigation, and I want to talk to you about her.”
“The Fraser family?” Fae frowned. “I heard that the Fraser family has a foster daughter, and she has a poor reputation. Everyone has been saying that the girl is Lochlan’s child bride. How can Lottie be connected with the Fraser family?”
