She rubbed her stomach and decided to find something to eat before returning to make the final adjustments.
As soon as she reached the kitchen,
she saw a warm yellow light on inside.
A tall, elegant figure stood in front of the kitchen counter. He was wearing a dark, loosely tied bathrobe, the sash knotted casually, leaving the collar open to reveal a stretch of well-defined pectoral muscles.
Below the open robe, the lines of his abs were faintly visible.
The man's hair was slightly damp, as if he had just showered.
Under the warm light, he looked like a seductive fox-wild and incredibly alluring.
It had to be said.
After a full day of mental exertion that left her exhausted, seeing a face like that...
was quite a pleasant sight.
The man heard her footsteps and turned his head slightly.
When he saw Serena, his striking eyes, which had been shimmering with a lazy
charm under the warm light, instantly filled with a smile.
The way the corners of his eyes crinkled was dangerously charming.
"Our busy bee has finally emerged from her seclusion." His low, magnetic voice was tinged with amusement.
He handed Serena a glass of freshly warmed milk.
Serena took it and took a sip.
The warm liquid soothed her stomach.
The warmth seemed to spread to her heart as well.
She sipped the milk, watching the man stand at the stove, skillfully dishing out the food from a small pot.
With his movements, the open collar of his robe revealed tantalizing glimpses of muscle, catching the light and dazzling Serena's eyes.
She averted her gaze. "Why are you still up at this hour?"
Nicholas's long fingers moved the spatula slowly and deliberately. A teasing smile played on his lips as he joked, "Her Majesty has not yet dined. How could this humble servant dare to rest? Naturally, I must be on call at all times, ready to attend to you in bed... oh, I mean, serve your meal."
He had the look of someone who had 'spoken too fast and almost let his true thoughts slip.'
It was so fake.
Serena shot him a glance.
The man lazily picked up the dish. "Go sit down. It'll be ready in a moment."
He worked quickly.
In just three minutes,
the entire table of food had been reheated.
Nicholas also brought Serena a small bowl of soup.
Serena was indeed famished, so she didn't stand on ceremony, immediately picking
up her fork and starting to eat.
The temperature and flavor of the food were just right.
Her movements were elegant, but her pace was fast.
Nicholas sat across from her, propping his head on one hand, leaning forward slightly, his
sparkling striking eyes fixed vel
Ther
with a deep smile.
The open collar of his robe gaped even wider with the movement.
It went almost all the way down...
The firm, powerful lines of his muscles were fully displayed before Serena's eyes.
He even deliberately adjusted his posture to make the smooth lines of his physique even more prominent.
Seeing Serena's gaze fall on him,
Nicholas's lips curved into a
mischievous grin. His tone was lazy and teasing. "So? Are you satisfied with the after sales service
comes with... a viewing experience."
As he spoke, he lifted his long, elegant hand, placing it on his chest and tracing a
line downward.
The gesture...
was shamelessly provocative.
Serena swallowed the food in her mouth, her eyes following his finger down.
Her expression was deadpan as she gave a serious assessment, "Nice body. You could probably take a punch."
Nicholas raised an eyebrow and chuckled, his voice low and
magnette. "Are you already #mking about... how rough you can be with me in the future, Serena?
His laughter was like a feather, lightly brushing against her ears.
It was so provocative...
it made her heart flutter.
