A Love Rekindled

Chapter 55

As expected, it wouldn't be easy to cheat an investor.

I hummed, "Of course, Mr. Harold.”

And with that, I hung up the phone.

Now. I'd completely lost my mood to continue watching the movie.

The next afternoon, Bruce texted me to ask about the progress of the plugin. So, I sent him a screenshot. Then, after a while, he replied, “Come to Roeval later. We'll discuss it in person.”

He seemed quite serious about it, so I had no choice but to find an excuse to leave as soon as work ended

Then, as I was headed toward the president's office, I ran into John

"I was wondering why Mr. Harold suddenly canceled tonight's plans. Turns out he has an appointment with his wife.” John teased. Well, he got it wrong again.Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

But did Bruce really have plans for tonight? It seemed like he was going to great lengths to prepare Cindy's surprise.

When I entered the office, Bruce was still working.

I didn't dare disturb him, so I sat alone in front of the coffee table and coded while I waited

"How's the progress?” A deep voice sounded beside me.

I immediately looked up and was about to respond. However, I was caught off guard by how close Bruce was as he stood beside me, slightly bent over.

We were so close that I could even see his stubble.

His scent enveloped me, causing my heart to race uncontrollably. "I-I've sent both versions to your email," I stuttered.

But Bruce showed no intention of leaving. "Show them to me."

So, I had no choice but to open the webpage.

However, Bruce wasn't satisfied with what he saw. "It looks tacky.”

I'd used the dreamy pink that Cindy liked and was sure that she'd be satisfied with it. So, I cautiously suggested, "Should we ask Ms. Lane for her opinion?”

"No need,” Bruce said firmly. He then pointed at several buttons and plugins. "This and this. Change them to different colors.”

Since the boss had spoken, I could only comply.

But when {presented the revised version:to Bruce, he furrowed hisx* brows:sligntly and said, "What about using gradient colors?" >~

What he said was similar to what I'd done in the first version I showed him.

If I didn't Know Bruce's picky nature, from the start, I would've suspected that he was deliberately finding fault in. my work. Swnovel.net ~

Fortunately, my skills were not for show. Yet, after dealing with these changes, it was already late at night. "If there's nothing else. I'll be taking my leave now, Mr. Harold.” I said.

"It's late. I'll drive you.” Bruce offered.

I guessed that he wanted to see» Cindy aswell. But considering oury odd relationship, I quickly made Up an excuse and said, "I need todrop by. the company.” Content.belongs t6 7

Then, I saw Bruce's hand, which was holding the car keys, pause.

After leaving Roeval, I breathed a sigh of relief. But when I opened my palms, I realized that they were coated with sweat. Bruce probably didn't care about how others viewed him and didn’t think to avoid suspicion with me.

He had every right to do that, but I didn't want to invite trouble either.

So, the next morning, I lied to Bruce and said that I'd accidentally caught a cold and could only report the progress online. However, Bruce didn't reply.

Then, at night in the empty office. I happily tapped away at the keyboard with my mittens on.

But all of a sudden, I heard the door opening

I looked up and raised a brow in surprise.

Bruce was here.

I cleared my throat and pointed to Cindy's office. "Ms. Lane has left for the day."

But Bruce then stepped closer and placed a bottle of medicine in front of me. "I'm here for you, Ms. Fisher."

I lowered my gaze and saw that it was a cough medicine.
