Chapter 588


    The vehicle suddenly stopped at the side of the road when Charlize was still reeling from the shock.


    Without warning, Spencer leaned toward her. “Do you have any more questions?”


    She was already sitting askew, so when he leaned over, the gap between them narrowed. The man''s


    face appeared before her eyes.


    She gave a start when she saw his dark eyes right before her, and her hand, which was cradling her


    chin, slipped, causing her face to collide with his.


    Spencer grabbed her just in time, and after she steadied herself and raised her head, she found herself


    getting sucked into those attractive eyes of his.


    “I-I''m sorry! It was an ident!” Charlize''s countenance was flushed with embarrassment, so much so


    that her ears were turning red.


    Staring at her, Spencer gulped and uttered in a deep voice, “Are you hurt?”


    “N-No.” At that point, Charlize didn''t have the courage to face him directly.


    She lowered her head and gazed at her hands, still thinking about the sensation she felt when their


    faces touched. Her heart pounded loudly, refusing to calm down.


    They were so close to each other that she could feel Spencer''s breath on her face, causing her burning


    cheeks to feel hotter than ever.


    Charlize couldn''t sit still, but they were in a car. The only way she could escape was by leaving the


    parked car.


    Her breathing quickened until she pleaded in a small voice, “Can you please not lean so close to me,


    Spencer?”


    She had always been a sucker for attractive appearances, so she felt her self-control giving way as she


    stared at his handsome face up close.


    “Why?” asked Spencer instead of backing away.


    That question of his only served to make her blush intensify. She didn''t have the guts to speak as her


    eyshes trembled. It''s not like I can tell him I want to touch his face.


    “I just feel a bit hot, that''s all,” she said.


    “Really?” Spencer arched his eyebrow, which was rare. He then lowered the car window. Seeing how


    she was hanging her head, too embarrassed to look at him, he stopped making things difficult for her.


    “Have you finished asking your questions?”


    In response, she lifted her head, staring at him. “Y-Yes.”

    I''m so annoying today. I kept asking questions during the ride.


    The embarrassment she had just suppressed rose again when she thought about that.


    “In that case, it''s my turn to ask a question,” stated Spencer.


    “Eh?” She appeared startled.


    “What are you afraid of?”


    “What? I''m not afraid,” answered Charlize. I''m just nervous. I feel like I''ve been on a wild roller-coaster


    of emotions this morning.


    “What do you want to ask?” I think it''s normal for him to ask a few questions after all those questions I


    threw at him. Humans tend to be curious, after all. I do wonder what he wants to know. After being by


    his side for such a long time, I once thought he no longer cared about anything in the world. But


    surprisingly, he became my boyfriend in the blink of an eye. Come to think of it, it''s quite exciting to


    have my superior as my boyfriend.


    Without warning, Spencer asked, “When did you start liking me?”


    Charlize choked on her saliva upon hearing that and coughed violently.


    Patting her back to help her calm down, Spencer wondered, “Is it a difficult question to answer?”


    A faint grin formed on his countenance as he eyed her.


    Charlize nced at him. “I-I don''t remember.”


    Wordlessly, Spencer raised his eyebrow, looking as though he was smiling but not at the same time.


    Guilt flooded Charlize''s heart as she intentionally checked the time on her phone. “It''s almost nine.


    We''re going to bete.”


    “No need to rush.” Spencer informed, “I still haven''t had breakfast yet.”


    Charlize was bbergasted. “But there''s a meeting at half past nine.”


    As she spoke, she nced outside and found out why Spencer parked the car at the side of the road.


    There were plenty of breakfast stalls and shops.


    Having been Spencer''s secretary for over a year, Charlize understood what she needed to do. “I''ll buy


    your breakfast, then.”


    “I''ll go,” he said while descending the car. “Would you like to have something else?”


    He knew Charlize must''ve eaten at home.


    She wanted to reduce her weight recently, so as much as she wanted to indulge in the delicious food


    on the roadside, she gulped and said, “I''m full.”


    “Okay.” Without dy, Spencer closed the door and went to a breakfast store.


    Charlize stared at his back and said with a sigh, “No wonder people say you should turn someone you


    dislike into your boyfriend. I''ve just agreed to be his girlfriend, and now I don''t even need to buy


    breakfast for him.”


    Soon, Spencer returned with some breakfast, and the tantalizing aroma of food instantly filled the car,


    causing Charlize to feel hungry.


    No, no! I must resist the temptation. I''ll be the bridesmaid for one of my university roommates in a few


    days. To force myself to maintain my figure, I asked her to get me the smallest size dress. There''s no


    turning back for me, but the food smells so lovely...


    Staring at the pancake Spencer bought, Charlize almost drooled.


    Just as she attempted to distract herself by looking outside the window, Spencer handed her the


    breakfast in his hand. “Which one do you want? Pancakes or bagels?”


    ncing at him, Charlize steeled herself and rejected, “I''m full. I can''t eat anymore.”


    In response, Spencer kept the bagel. “Pancakes it is.”


    As he spoke, he stuffed the bag of pancakes in her hand. “Eat while it''s still hot.”


    “I''m trying to lose weight...” said Charlize.


    “Shouldn''t you be doing the opposite?”


    Spencer''s words persuaded Charlize to indulge in the pancakes.


    Women lovedpliments, including Charlize. It''s hard to imagine he used to be so aloof. Even though


    this is our first day together as a couple, he''s already quite familiar with the standards of how a


    boyfriend should act.


    She stared at Spencer and then at the pancake, still feeling quite conflicted.


    “If you eat it, I''ll tell you when exactly I started falling for you.” As he spoke, he thrust a drinking straw


    into a bottle of milk and handed it to Charlize.


    His offer was too irresistible for her to deny. Suddenly, she didn''t find losing weight that important


    anymore. If worsees to worst, I''ll wear a corset that day.


    “You promise?”


    He nodded.


    In response, she bit into the pancake. This is totally not because my willpower isn''t strong enough. It''s


    because his condition is too alluring for me to say no to it.


    “It''s good,” shemented.


    “Do you like it?” he asked.


    Charlize was secretly quite the glutton. “Yep.”


    “Let me try.” While speaking, Spencer stretched his hand toward her.


    Without thinking, she handed the pancake to him. Seeing that, he withdrew his hand, pulled her wrist


    closer to him, and took a bite.


    Only when she felt the warmth from his palm as he grabbed her wrist did she realize what just


    happened. “I''ve taken a bite of this pancake...”
