"The clothes I was wearing..." Nora wanted to ask who had helped change her clothes, but the question was too difficult to ask.
An awkward look flashed across Asher's handsome face and he coughed lightly, "It was Wilma who helped you get changed."
"I have to thank her for that." Nora breathed a long sigh of relief. Wilma was a maid in Asher's house.
Asher's beautiful cool features softened a bit more in the orange light, "I had the doctor check you out and you were a bit hypoglycemic."
"Okay..." Nora felt so humiliated that she had passed out only because of her period. When had she become so weak?
It was all Asher's fault!
She must have been exhausted from helping him last night. She had helped him to home and had done all kinds of things that he had asked her to do so that she had gone to bed late. And today, he had pushed her to organize the minutes of the meeting and revise the plan, which caused her to have no time to have dinner, and thus she had low blood sugar.
"You'll be fine after having some rest." Asher raised his hand and looked at his watch, "It's late already. Get some rest. Don't go to the office tomorrow."
"Thank you." Nora rubbed her stomach and felt less painful.
Nora fell into a deep sleep this night. When she woke up the next day, it was already nine o'clock.
"Damn it! I'm going to be late."
Nora hurriedly got up, dressed up, and walked out of the room, only to see a middle-aged woman working in the kitchen.
When she saw Nora, she put down what she was holding in her hands, walked to the living room, and greeted Nora respectfully, "Miss Smith."
"You are... Wilma?" asked Nora, after thinking for a second.
Wilma smiled and nodded, "Miss Smith, breakfast is ready."
Nora looked at the time and spoke apologetically, "Thank you, Wilma. but I'm late for work, so I'll have to skip it."
Wilma politely called out to Nora, "Miss Smith, Mr. Hawn told me to make sure you eat your breakfast."
"Okay..." Nora was a little surprised as to since when Asher cared for someone else?
Nora sat down and Wilma brought her breakfast, along with a bowl of brown sugar ginger soup.
"Mr. Hawn especially told me to make this." Wilma pointed to the brown sugar ginger soup and said with a smile on her face.
Did Asher tell her to make it? Did he know about this?
She took the brown sugar ginger soup and drank it down, with a touch of warmth crossing her heart.
After breakfast, Nora hurried to the office. Although Asher had told her to rest at home last night, Nora had her heart set on work.
As soon as she arrived at the office, she heard the two young assistants sitting next to her talking about something.
"Wow, Julian is so handsome!"
"Don't be fangirling. Didn't you watch the interview in which he said he has been in love with a girl for two years? You don't have a chance."
Julian?
Nora felt a little flabbergasted.
"Nora, have you seen the news that Julian is back and he has been interviewed?" Shirley White, who was sitting in the seat next to Nora, looked excited, "He rarely gave interviews in the past."
"Did he?" Nora asked absentmindedly, "Which Julian?"
"Julian Spencer! Nora, you don't even know Julian, do you? He is the most popular actor currently and he's super handsome." Shirley turned her head sideways and glanced at Nora, "He is almost comparable to our president."
It was indeed Julian Spencer...
Nora took a look at Twitter's list of the top trending searches and found that the top 1 was about Julian.
It was an interview with Julian in a white suit, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, exuding a melancholic and elegant aura.
The first part was an interview about his new movie in Hollywood, while in the second half, the reporter asked a personal question, "Julian, I believe many people are very interested in your emotional life as I am, and I wonder if you have a girlfriend? Could you please tell us about it?"
Julian smiled lightly, "I don't have a girlfriend."
The reporter said, "This is really good news for all the women."
Julian said in a low and hoarse voice, "But I do have a girl that I love deeply and I will always wait for her..."
Nora turned off the video in some annoyance.
It seemed that she had to make time to talk it over with Julian. As a public figure, it was really inappropriate for him to say that in public.
Nora was in a daze when everyone around her went silent all of a sudden.
"Miss Smith, bring the project of 'Ice and Fire' to my office."
A deep and cold voice came. Nora raised her eyes and found that Asher had walked over at some point.
"Okay." Nora picked up the plan and followed behind Asher to the president's office.
Asher closed the door behind him and sat down on the sofa, "Why did you come to the office when you are not feeling well?"
Nora was slightly embarrassed when she recalled what had happened last night. In fact, she had always been in good health, and she had only passed out last night accidentally.
She smiled and said, "I am much better now. It is a critical time for 'Ice and Fire' and I don't want to delay the whole project because of my personal reasons."
"Well." Asher gave an answer lightly and pointed to the seat beside him, gesturing for Nora to sit down.
Nora sat down next to Asher, keeping a certain distance from him, and handed the plan to him, "I have optimized the plan last night..."
Before she could finish her sentence, she was suddenly interrupted by Asher's low and deep voice, "Did you see the hot news today?"
Hot news?
Had Asher seen it when she had been watching the video interview about Julian a while ago?
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have watched that during work hours." Nora apologized.
Asher's eyebrows knitted together, "So you should have seen that Julian has a girl he loves in his heart a long time ago."
"So?" Nora asked back.
Asher gave Nora a deep look, and his tone was a little cold, "So don't cast your eyes on him. And you have to remember who you are now."
Cast eyes on him?
What did Asher mean?
That she cast her eyes on Julian?
It was Julian who cast his eyes on her, all right?
But she had no reason to tell Asher about it.
Nora thought for a few seconds, compressed her lips, and then said, "Asher, please don't speculate on my feelings. Whether it is Levi or Julian, I don't have the kind of relationship with them that you think."
"That would be best." At the time of hearing Nora's words, a small glimmer of joy bubbled up in Asher's heart.
He slowly moved closer to Nora, with an unknown emotion growing in his eyes, "Nora, remember, you are my fiancée."
Watching Asher's handsome face keep enlarging in front of her, Nora's heartbeat inexplicably accelerated.
What kind of fiancée was that? She was only his fiancée in name only...
Nora wanted to retort, but the words just came out in a soft "yes".
Asher's handsome face was still zooming in front of her and his lips were about to press against hers....
