Chapter 315
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! Here
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. The
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.
“I’ll only send the kids there during working hours because I’ll be away from home,” Samuel was
emotionless when he said that. “Today’s my off day, so the kids will be staying here. My mom and
grandma pampered the children too much already. I don’t want them to be spoiled.” I don’t have much
time left… I’ve got to educate them to stand on their own two feet before anything happens.
