After wrapping up the crucial meeting and delegating the remaining tasks to his team, Stuart silently


    made his way to the break room where Morwenna was still asleep. Her injured arm was carefully


    ced outside the nket, as he was cautious not to put any weight on it. Despite the myriad of


    worries and the hardships she had faced, her peaceful expression painted a picture of a woman


    without fear, boldly confronting whatever came her way.


    Watching her, Stuart felt an irresistible pull, inching closer without even realizing it. There she was,


    seemingly hidden away just for him, a secret treasure he had stashed away in his world.


    In her sleep, Morwenna mumbled something, her lips puckering as though savoring a delicious


    dream. Stuart, unable to control himself, bent down and softly kissed her. Her lips were soft, stirring


    a deep desire within him to keep her close, forever.


    In her dream, Morwenna was enjoying a lobster roll, biting down on the delightfully soft bun filled


    with lobster.


    Suddenly, she woke, yet unsure if she should reveal her consciousness. She realized that it wasn''t


    the lobster she had bitten, but Stuart''s lips. The cool, pine-like scent confirmed it was him, even


    without opening her eyes. Choosing to feign sleep, she wrestled with the reality of waking up to find


    her crush kissing her—a mix of emotions tooplex to confront head-on.


    Her face flushed deeper with every passing second, their breaths intertwining, heating the room


    with an unspoken tension. Eventually, Stuart, in a rare act of mercy, pulled away, leaving


    Morwenna''s skin blushing a deep pink from her neck down, her lips swollen like ripe cherries.

    Stuart, for the first time in years, felt a genuine joy. His life had been filled with darkness and


    solitude, but Morwenna seemed like a gift from the heavens, a beacon of light in his gloom. He


    didn''t expose her act; instead, he gently lifted her, covering her with his jacket to shield her from


    prying eyes, and carried her out of the office.


    The trio of assistants on the top floor kept on a solemn expression, fully understanding the unique


    bond between Mr. Hetfield and Ms. Winslet—a stark contrast to any previous rtionships he’d had


    before, including Adide.


    Hidden under Stuart''s jacket, Morwenna was torn between revealing her wakefulness and


    continuing the charade. She didn’t want to be carried home like this, yet the thought of waking up


    and acknowledging the kiss was terrifying.


    She was still torn when Stuart carried her into the private elevator. Nobody should see them, save


    for the three assistants, the guard and the receptionists, she thought.


    The receptionists, Emma and E, twins known for their coordination, both greeted Stuart with their


    usual professionalism, though Emma couldn''t hide her awe. E had to physically snap her sister


    out of her gawking.


    Stuart was not only their superior but a man of unparalleled allure and dashing beauty.
