Chapter 272
“There’s a small town over there. Although you’ve been to many places, most were for work. Today is different. How about I take you to explore there?” Lila quickly explained, fearing that Kieran might misunderstand, which would be extremely awkward.
She looked at him, who quietly listened to her speak. For a moment, she wasn’t sure what he was thinking.
She was about to say that it was fine if he was too busy. She had just come up with the idea on a whim.
“Sure,” Kieran said, his deep, rich voice laced with a subtle smile, sounding like a cello’s soft, resonant tones.
Lila let out a small sigh of relief. Seeing the smile in his eyes, she couldn’t help but smile back.
“You go ahead and finish your work. I’ll wait for you over here.”
Hearing this, Lila felt even more at ease. After all, it was still over two hours until 6:00 pm.
She was sure she was the first one to ever make the Morgan Group’s president wait idly.
As Lila started working, she would occasionally glance over at Kieran. When he arrived, he probably hadn’t expected to have so much free time here.
Without a computer, he was just using his phone to reply to a few messages now and then.
This left Cole, who was back at the company, extremely busy. Not only did he have to manage the afternoon’s work, but he also had to cancel tomorrow morning’s meeting.
Originally, Cole had rescheduled this afternoon’s meeting to tomorrow morning after learning that Kieran would be visiting Lila today.
But then came an unexpected bombshell.
He wouldn’t come tomorrow morning either!
Lila had no idea that her spontaneous idea had caused a conflict for Cole.
She noticed that Kieran would watch the film whenever he had free time.
She wondered if it was because Kieran wasn’t used to seeing this kind of work or if he simply gave off a very serious vibe, no matter what he did.
He sat quietly in an empty corner, watching their work calmly and indifferently. The eaves’ shadows enveloped him, but today, there was an unusual warmth to him.
Instead of the usual cold and solitude, there was a touch of humanity.
It was as if a god had descended from the heavens and blended with the mortal world.
Once Lila’s work was finished, she hurried over to him.
“Did you wait long?” she asked.
Kieran looked up without any sign of impatience. “Your work is interesting. Are you going back to change clothes?”
“No, no.” Lila shook her head. “Let’s go for a walk first. We’ll tidy up later when we get back.”
If they went back now to change, Kieran would have to wait for another hour.
It was only because he had a good temper. They would have lost their patience if
it were someone else.
Following Lila’s directions, Kieran drove, and they arrived at the small town.
At this time, the ancient town was already inaccessible, but a small street nearby had unique shops still in business.
The location was relatively remote, and there weren’t many people around.
This was what Lila wanted.
A smile tugged at the corners of Lila’s lips. The joy she felt made her already
beautiful eyes even brighter and more captivating.
After walking a few steps, Lila a unique ice cream
pointed to
nearby.
“The weather’s still not yet
cold. Do you want to try some?”
Kieran wasn’t exactly sure what this was, but he could tell by her expression that
she was eager to have some.
When he nodded, Lila’s smile deepened. She lightly tugged at his sleeve. “You wait for me here. I’ll go buy it.”
Since Kieran came directly from the company, he wore the same suit he had on since morning. It was
warm afternoon, so he wa
his
jacket and loosened his tie
Now, in his white shirt and black trousers, he didn’t look as formak One button on his shirt was undone, slightly revealing his collarbone, giving off a subtle yet seductive aura.
“Hello, handsome. Could I add you on WhatsApp?”
When Lila turned around after buying the ice cream, she saw several girls surrounding him, asking for his contact information.
The girl who spoke was wearing a sexy black dress with high heels that revealed her fair calves.
Her long, wavy hair and delicate makeup made her appear even more beautiful and seductive.
Kieran glanced up at them.
