    Adrian Zhekova rolled up his sleeves, taking two pieces of meat over to the counter.


    The counter was conveniently waist high for Adrian, the perfect height.


    Cindy rke had already tied on her apron, was pouring flour into a bowl, preparing to mix dough for pastry.


    She still hadn’t caught her breath from what Adrian had said just a few moments ago.


    Attempting to shift her mood through work, she turned her head and saw the expensive shirt Adrian was wearing.


    “Wait.” Cindy quickly stopped him from starting to tenderize the meat, fetching an apricot for him instead.


    “Put this on, or it will stter on your shirt when you pound the meat.” She handed him the apron.


    Unexpectedly, Adrian did not ept it.


    In response, he showed his dirty hands to Cindy, “I touched the raw meat, my hands are dirty. Help me put it on?”


    “Or you could just wash your hands?” She pointed to the sink next to them.


    ‘ Adrian nced at the sink, then turned back to Cindy. “Why bother? My hands will get dirty again soon.”


    Without waiting for Cindy’s answer, Adrian courteously bent his body slightly lower, allowing Cindy to tie the apron on him.


    Cindy: ‘


    Helplessly, Cindy had to put the apron on him.


    But even with Adrian bending down, he still towered over her.


    Frustratedly, Cindy had to raise her hand and raise herself on her toes and barely reach his height.


    She couldn’t help butin silently, “Why is this man so tall?”


    This is really challenging!


    Adrian silently expressed regret.


    Had he known earlier, he would not have mentioned his dirty hands, and missed such a great opportunity. Cindy was nearly in his embrace, and due to his excuse of having dirty hands, he missed the chance to hold her waist. Lost in these thoughts, Adrian suddenly noticed that Cindy’s ears were red.


    Unknowingly, the two of them had gotten very close.


    His breath fell on her forehead.


    Meanwhile, her scent filled his nostrils.


    With Adrian’s gaze seemingly pasted to her face, Cindy’s brain seems to have lost control of her limbs.


    The hand that was helping him put on the apron was shaking so much from nerves that she could hardly get it around his neck.


    Seeing this, Adrian tilted his head down even more to meet her gaze, their faces almost touching.


    “Ah!” Cindy gasped in surprise.


    Adrian’s face had quickly filled her vision, his nose almost grazing hers.


    Cindy was on her toes, and losing her bnce, she fell towards him, her lipsnding on his.


    Cindy: ‘


    Adrian didn’t anticipate such a pleasant surprise.


    Meanwhile, they both overlooked the presence of Morgan rke!


    Morgan’s eyes widened, watching the two in surprise.


    Then, he quickly covered his eyes!


    But equal curiosity got the best of him, and he peeked through a small gap between his fingers to see what was happening.


    A few secondster, Morgan realized something was wrong.


    He hurriedly pulled out his mobile phone from his pocket, rapidly searching for Peggy Lewis’s Whatsapp.


    In fact, Morgan didn’t have many Whatsapp friends.


    Besides the ssmates from Nursery, only Cindy and Peggy Lewis were his contacts.


    For the sake of him being able to contact them in case of emergencies, Cindy and Peggy were even prioritized at the top.


    In case of any urgent matter, Morgan could find them within seconds..
