Chapter 200


    Felix watched as the two holding hands gradually disappeared into the distance. His gaze turned


    cold behind his sunsses.


    Bary! How annoying!


    Seeing Felix still, Zachary became nervous. “What’s wrong? Aren’t you afraid of being


    recognized?”


    Felix finally looked away and left the cafe without a word, clearly angry.


    Zachary frowned, feeling puzzled. What on earth could have annoyed Felix?


    Moira waspletely immersed in her act, only realizing they were holding hands when they


    entered the elevator.


    Their fingers intertwined tightly!


    Realizing this, her face flushed instantly. “Mr. Covington, your acquaintance didn’t get in the


    elevator, did they?”


    Bary nced at her, calmly responding, “No.”


    With that, he voluntarily let go of her hand.


    As their tightly sped hands separated, Moira’s sweaty palm felt a sense of relief.


    She nced at her right hand, feeling a strange sensation.


    The elevator stopped on the first floor, and most people inside got off, leaving the space less


    crowded.


    Moira moved to the side, trying hard not to brush against Bary.


    She wasn’t avoiding him. She was afraid of getting too close and being rejected.


    Noticing her movements, Bary nced at her.


    Moira felt embarrassed. “It’s a bit warm.”


    She really wasn’t avoiding himl


    “Yeah,” he responded nonchntly. When the elevator doors opened again, Moira was relieved.


    Moira got into the car and fastened her seatbelt.


    At that moment, Bary’s phone suddenly rang


    Bary frowned lightly and answered the call. “What’s up?”


    On the other end, Harvey said, “How about dinner together?”


    Didn’t Bary ask to call him?


    Bary replied, “I’m not free.”

    Harvey chuckled out of annoyance. “So what exactly do you want to do?”


    Bary said, “Have some coffee.”


    Harvey had never known that Bary had such a hobby. “Alright, I’ll ask Finley and the others.”


    Bary said, “Okay.”


    After hanging up, Bary nced at Moira. “That was Harvey. He asked me to take you for some


    coffee.”


    Moira hesitated. It didn’t seem like a good idea.


    But before she could say anything, Bary added, “He doesn’t believe that we’re married. He thinks


    we’re just putting on a show.”


    This statement immediately sparked Moira’s professionalism. “No problem, let’s go!”


    Bary asked, “Aren’t you tired?”


    I’m fine, not that tired.” Moira’s words were followed by a yawn


    Moira stiffened. It was a moment of awkward silence.


    However, Bary didn’t mind. “It won’t take too long.”


    Moira nodded, “Alright, I’ll follow your lead!”


    Bary reminded, “Don’t worry about what they say. Their words don’t carry weight.”


    Moira initially thought Bary’s friend was a bit off, but hearing his words, she suddenly understood

    Just… mutual teasing, right?


    Bary added, “You should take a nap. It’ll take over twenty minutes to get there.”


    Moira hesitated, but to be more alertter, she eventually agreed. “Then I’ll take a nap.”


    Bary asked, “Good. Is the air conditioning too cold?”


    “A little.” Moira didn’t notice it until Bary mentioned it. She did feel a chill in the car.


    Bary turned the knob. “Alright, I’ll adjust it.”


    Moira said, “Thank you. Mr. Covington, you’re kind.”


    Bary was surprised. “You think so?”


    Moira adjusted her sitting posture, preparing to fall asleep, and mumbled, “Yes.”


    Bary didn’t say anything more. The car fell into a quiet atmosphere. In just over ten seconds,


    Moira drifted off to sleep.


    Just before she fell into a deep slumber, she managed to murmur, “Yeah, you’re really kind
