Chapter 315 Time To Grow Up
Gizem furrowed her brows. “Can you let go of me first? Desi might see us.” Samuel did her bidding,
shing her a stern look. Gizem leaped up and kept a distance from him.
“It’s the smell of my very own perfume,” was her exnation. Her words only made Samuel shoot her a
dubious leer. Gizem went on and elucidated her im, “You can also find this scent on ancient books,
Mr. Macari. It originated from a female physician and has a sedative effect.I heard that your ex-wife
was also a traditional medicine practitioner. I guess she must’ve followed the same ancient
prescription.”
A coincidence? Suspicion rose within Samuel as he fixed his ice-cold gaze on Gizem. Could it be that
she’s trying to bluff it out because of some ulterior motives? Never in a million years did Gizem expect
Samuel to be so vignt over a measly fragrance.
“You’re a traditional medicine practitioner, too, you say?” His tone was as cold as the winter.
“Yes.” Gizem nodded.
“I learned traditional medicine before diving into modern medicine.”
“All right. You may leave,” ordered Samuel with an impassive countenance.
“Okay.” With that, Gizem wheeled around and stepped out. Samuel heaved a sigh at that. My mind
must’ve gone haywire. Why did I mistake her for Kathleen? Gizem got back to the office, only to hear
her phone ringing non-stop. She finally picked up the call. Immediately, Levi’s yawn was hearding
from the other end of the line.
“Why aren’t you back yet, Babe? I almost wanted to crash out, you know.”
“Sorry, I’m not going back tonight. I’m going to stay overnight at the hospital,” stated Gizem.
“Oh… I’ll help you tidy up the house, then,” Levi stated helplessly. With an indifferent tone, Gizem
declined his offer.
“There’s no need for that. I’ve given Samuel my word to move into the Macari residence just so it’ll be
easier for me to look after Desi.” Levi blinked his eyes in disbelief.
“What? But why? You were so unbending when I invited you to stay at my house back then!”
“Levi, I rejected you because I didn’t want you to misunderstand the rtionship between us.” Gizem
sounded rather nonchnt.
“As for the reason I moved in to stay with the Macaris, like I said, it’s because of Desi.” It’s also to
follow my master’s instruction.
“I don’t care! Do you not love me anymore?” Grievance washed over Levi’s heart as he spoke. Gizem
was stumped for words.
“I’ve never ever loved you before.”
“You mean love would one day dissipate, correct?” said Levi in defeat. Gizem took out a bag of coffee,
preparing to pull an all-nighter.
“Hey, Levi. Love would never go away, okay? It’s just that I’ve never had a thing for you, so there was
no love from me to you, to begin with.” Levi then uttered in an icy tone, “So… I’ll send your baggage
over tomorrow. Will that be okay?”
“Yes, thank you. I’ll be here at the hospital to receive it,” replied Gizem calmly.
“Got it.” A tinge of indignant rose within Levi.
“Worsees to worst; I’ll also move into the Macari residence.” Gizem was bereft of speech on that
note.
“Don’t wear yourself out, you hear? I’ll bring you breakfast as well.” Levi was still so sweet toward her.
“Mm. Thanks.” Gizem nodded. Breathing out a long sigh, Levi hung up the phone. Finally, Gizem
made herself a cup of coffee as she sat in front of theputer to continue her dissertation paper.
The next morning, Gizem sprawled on the desk and fell asleep. It was the knocking sound on the door
that awoke her from her slumber. Rubbing her eyes, she answered, “Come in.” It was Levi.
“Babe! Herees your breakfast made with love!” He entered her office with a spring in his step.
Gizem was at a loss for words. As Levi ced the breakfast right in front of her, he added, “Please
check and ept the donuts and milk.”
“Thank you.” Gizem appeared to be listless. Wearing a skin-deep grin, Levi stared nkly at her. At
that moment, Gizem seemed to have recalled something.
“Aren’t you obsessed with good looks, Levi?” Thetter bobbed his head in approval. Witnessing that,
Gizem became all the more curious.
“I’m very much average-looking, at best. What makes you fall for me?” Prior to that, Levi had been in a
rtionship. Gizem, too, had seen his photo with his girlfriend. Thetter was a blonde girl with blue
eyes. Having a voluptuous figure, she was extremely stunning, so much so that she could easily be the
world’s most gorgeous woman.
“Some of us would only focus on the outside, while the others would need to consider their partner’s
inner beauty.” Levi’s smile reached his eyes as he gazed into Gizem’s sparkling eyes.
“My inner beauty never needs makeup, though. Would you reconsider?” Levi was only inches away
from Gizem at that point in time.
Thetter wanted to shove him away. Right then, Samuel pushed open the door to Gizem’s office and
marched in. At first nce, he assumed that that duo was locking lips with each other. He froze
momentarily before blurting out, “Sorry.” Embarrassed, Gizem quickly voiced out, “Why are you
apologizing? We’re not doing anything here, okay? Are you looking for me?”
“My mom made breakfast, and she prepared you a share as well. I’m here to deliver it to you.”
As Samuel spoke, he put down the thermal lunchbox on her desk.
“Excuse me.” With that said, he left. For some inexplicable reason, Samuel was rather displeased with
what he had just seen. After Samuel walked out of the office, Gizem turned to re at Levi.
“Thanks to you, there’s a misunderstanding now.”
“Why do you care?” Levi frowned.
“Well, I don’t, but it’d be very inconvenient for me if any confusion or dispute were to arise in the future.”
Gizem then opened the lunchbox brought over by Samuel, only to find some mashed potato, greens,
and mushroom soup.
“Wow. This is not too shabby…” Levi arched a brow at that.
“If there’s nothing else, Levi, leave me,” suggested Gizem cidly. “All right.” Having no choice, Levi
spun on his heels. Bah! She’s always chasing me away. At longst, Gizem could dig in peacefully
upon Levi’s departure. After finishing it, she cleaned the lunchbox before handing it back to Samuel.
When she arrived at Samuel’s ward, she only found him lying on the couch alone. Hearing the noise,
Samuel opened his eyes.
“Where’s Desi?” came Gizem’s question as she put down the empty lunchbox. “My mom took her out
for some activities.” Samuel’s cool gazended on Gizem. “Oh, right.What’s the rtionship between
you and Levi? Are you guys seeing each other?”
“No.” Gizem shook her head.
“We’re only business partners.” Business partners? It’s as clear as day that he’s not portraying a
business-like attitude toward her!
“Is there anything else, Mr. Macari? If not, I shall get going.” Gizem was already making her way to the
exit.

“Does Windwell Corporation ring any bell for you?” Samuel’s tone reeked of naught but coldness.
Startled, Gizem queried, “What’s that?”
“Oh? You don’t know?” Samuel had his eyes fixated on her. Gizem shook her head ever so leisurely
and concurred with his opinion.
“I have absolutely no idea. You might have to enlighten me.” Rising to his feet, Samuel exined with a
straight face, “This organization has always been researching medicine, and they only put their product
on sale on the ck market. But, they suddenly changed their business nature in the past year or two.
I’ve got wind that even their core members have changed.”
“I’ve never heard of them at all. Sorry,” were Gizem’s words, her demeanor as calm as a toad in the
sun. Even after what she said, Samuel still hurled a sharp look at her. Unflustered, Gizem continued,
“Are you thinking that I’m lying to you, Mr. Macari?” Samuel kept his lips buttoned.
“Since you don’t trust me, run a background check on me. See if I’m in any way rted to that
organization.” Gizem was unwavering.
“That I will do,” proimed Samuel in his deep voice.
“I’ll take my leave, then.” Just when Gizem was about to leave, Samuel added, “I’ll go through Desi’s
discharge procedures in a moment. Follow us to Florinia Manorter.”
“All right.” Gizem nodded and left right away. Taking his seat, Samuel squeezed his be with his
slender fingers. There’s something off about Gizem… An hourter, Gizem followed Samuel and
reached Florinia Manor.
“A question for you, Mr. Macari,” Gizem piped up tly.
“Ask away.” Samuel’s reply was icy as usual.
“I heard that you all have been staying at the Macari residence, so why did you bring me here?” Gizem
felt perplexed.
