Nolan considered Wu's proposition for a minute before he remembered the settlement that was sitting in his bank account.  In truth, he didn't need a job at all, he could just sit at home and do nothing if he wanted to. Since it was his choice, he felt more at leisure to say, "I don't mind dropping by now and then to make sure everything is running smoothly until you find new staff.  I'm sure if Henry knew about this, he could help recommend good people to help you out."

"That would be nice." Wu had a dreamy look in her eyes. "I wish you could be here every day, but what truly made you come down here today?  Is there something wrong? Do you have a medical problem you wanted to see someone for?"

Nolan took his lunch bag out from under the desk.  "I was hoping to surprise you with lunch, but you know there are so many low income people here that I just let the fight club have it?"Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.

"The fight club?"

"There were some kids playing in the corner with Transformer action figures.  It was contact based, no one got hurt."

"That's very kind of you, I didn't know you had a sensitive side.  That's a very strong quality to have." Wu touched his hair again softly as she moved forwards to see the spot where he had been pointing to.  Nolan liked that she always wanted to understand him and paid close attention to what he was saying.

As Janna Wu had touched his hair, he had almost choked while he realized that he had been holding his breathe while her hands had left a trail of warm in their wake.  His eyes had been trained on the opposite wall to not give away that he did not want the touch to end. She affected him in every way possible. He just wanted to be as close to her as possible.  He looked at her as she turned her head back to gaze at him. He felt the connection between them flare up again as he felt the tension rising before she turned away.

Nolan wanted to pull her hand to make her look at him like that again.  His hands trembled as he reached towards her, but as he blinked she had moved further away and such a touch would not be welcome.  The beat to make his move had passed.

Wu looked at him with an uneasy thin line playing at her lips.  Her eyes stayed downcast as she seemed to be interested in a spot on the carpet.  "Maybe as a reward for helping me out today, I could buy you dinner or something. You brought food, but I didn't get to eat it.  I'm sorry that I was so busy today with patients that I didn't get a minute to come over here and see how you were doing in a more polite way.  It's the little I can do to salvage your efforts."

"That sounds amazing.  I am actually quite hungry." Nolan gripped his stomach suddenly as a loud gurgle sounded to remind him that he needed to eat.  He straightened to cleared his throat before both he and Dr Wu began to laugh. The shared moment lit a fire in Nolan's heart.  It was not impossible to tread down this road--Janna Wu knew he was special and he would eventually get here to see the same bright future he saw.
