Chapter 65
Sure thing, Harrison couldn't let Vincent hear his inner thoughts.
He was so fixated on Roxanne that he forgot about his breakfast.
When Roxanne looked up as she was serving a bowl of soup, her gaze met Harrison's.
His eyes were a bit deep and mysterious, making it hard to guess what he was thinking.
She asked, "Harrison, why are you looking at me like that? Are you guarding yourself against me,
worried I might kiss you again?"
Harrison lowered his head to continue eating his breakfast and replied, "Don't sweat it, I'm not that
narcissistic."
"That's good. Don't worry either, I won't have the urge to kiss you unless I've had a drink. You know,
alcohol can reduce a person's self-control."
"So you're saying, you plan to kiss me when you're sober, but you just need a little liquid courage to do
it?"
"I won't sugarcoat it. You're definitely charming, and I do appreciate your looks. But about kissing you, I
just wanted to know what a first kiss feels like. I wasn't plotting anything."
She admitted that Harrison's appearance was pleasing to her, b
ut did she really have no ulterior motives?
She needed to set the record straight.
One moment, Harrison was feeling on top of the world.
The next, he felt deflated.
She just wanted to experience a first kiss?
He furrowed his eyebrows and said, "In a situation like yesterday, what would any guy have done for
your first kiss?"
"Oh please." Roxanne explained, "Do you think I'm that easy? Even if I'm drunk and my self-control is
lowered, I still know my limits. If you weren't my husband, would I have tried it with you?"
Hearing this, Harrison was once again grateful to Vincent for making him Roxanne's legal husband.
Otherwise, would he not have had the chance to let her try yesterday?
But did Roxanne just want to experience the feeling of a kiss, and therefore wanted to try it with him?
Didn't she have any other thoughts about him?
This question was constantly echoing in Harrison's mind.
After breakfast, Harrison rode Roxanne's electric bike to the subway station.
As usual, he pretended to enter the subway station, then once Roxanne left, he got into a Rolls-Royce.
The car drove into the company building, stopping in front of the grand statue at the entrance.
"Mr. Harrison, we've arrived at the company."
Harrison was lost in thought.
Anthony reminded him, "Mr. Harrison, we've arrived at the company."
Harrison didn't get out of the car but looked at Anthony who was reminding him, and asked,
"Anthony, do you have a girlfriend?"
Anthony
wondered, why Mr. Harrison was suddenly asking this question.
Was he worried that dating would affect his work?
As Mr. Harrison's personal driver, he had to be on call 24/7, so even when he was dating, he never had
enough time to spend with a girlfriend.
He was worried that if he spent time with his girlfriend, and Mr. Harrison suddenly needed to use the
car, it would interfere with his work.
Anthony carefully asked, "Mr. Harrison, am I not working hard enough? If you think something is
affecting my work, I can break up with my girlfriend."
Harrison replied, "Am I usually that harsh on you? Not even allowing you to date? I'm not that
unreasonable, am I?"
Anthony said, "No, I'm just worried that you think I'm slacking."
As Harrison's personal driver, this job was coveted by many, and Anthony didn't want to lose this job.
Harrison asked, "Does your girlfriend take the initiative to kiss you?"
Anthony was a bit puzzled and didn't understand why Harrison was asking this.
Harrison reassured him, "It's okay, just treat me like a friend and chat freely."
To make Anthony relax, Harrison voluntarily brought up this topic.
He continued, "Last night, my wife took the initiative to kiss me. But she said she just wanted to
experience the feeling of a kiss, not because she wanted to kiss me."
Anthony immediately understood Harrison's dilemma. He thought what Harrison cared about was that
his wife's motive for kissing him was not because of him.
Anthony suggested, "Mr. Harrison, maybe your wife is just too shy to admit her real feelings. Girls tend
to be more shy and reserved."
But Harrison couldn't see any signs of shyness or reservation from his wife Roxanne. Roxanne was
very straightforward and direct. If she wanted to kiss him, she would just do it. But she kissed him just
because she had never experienced the feeling of a kiss and wanted to know what it felt like, not
because she really wanted to kiss him.
Seeing Harrison silent, Anthony boldly said, "Mr. Harrison, your wife really took the initiative to kiss you
last night? No matter what her motive was, at least she kissed you. A girl taking the initiative to kiss a
guy indicates that she at least likes him a bit. You shouldn't overthink it, at least she didn't go kiss
someone else."
Harrison seemed to be comforted by Anthony's words. He said, "You have a girlfriend now, I'll give you
two days off, spend some quality time with your girlfriend, don't keep her waiting too long."
"Thank you, Mr. Harrison."
Anthony was very happy, it was his first break in a long time, all thanks to Harrison.
Harrison arrived at his office on the 89th floor, his secretary Alexander had already prepared his coffee.
Seeing Harrison come in, Alexander walked over and asked, "I just saw your car parked at the
entrance, what were you doing in the car?"
Harrison casually replied, "Nothing."
He put down his bag and asked Alexander, "When was the last time you spent time with your wife
Hazel?"
Alexander was a bit surprised. "Why are you suddenly asking this?"
Harrison said, "I'm giving you two days off, go home and spend some quality time with Hazel."
Alexander tried to joke, "Mr. Harrison, you're in a good mood today?"
Harrison shot back, "You could always choose to keep working, you know."
Alexander replied, "I'd love to be back home with Hazel, but someone's got to handle that project in
Europe, and that someone is me."
"You're the one who doesn't want to go back, don't pin this on me."
"Alright, alright, Mr. Harrison, I've got something serious to tell you. Don't get all cranky afterwards."
"Is it work-related? If not, hold your horses till lunch."
Right now, he needed to be all in on work.
Lately, he'd been getting distracted a lot while working, for reasons that eluded him.
Most of the time when he zoned out, he'd pick up his phone, itching to shoot a text to Roxanne.
However, even when he did text Roxanne, she didn't always hit him back right away.
Waiting for her response, he'd keep glancing at his phone.
His productivity was going down the drain.NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.
Harrison didn't want to keep this up. He needed to cut out all the distractions, hence his refusal to
entertain non-work-related discussions during work hours.
However, Alexander deliberately baited, "You sure you don't want to hear this? It's about your marriage,
and it involves Roxanne too, you know."
