Chapter 22 Back in the living room . The maid was already heating up the food . Gerhart took all the clothes she bought upstairs , and Latrina followed him with the flowers . Looking at his broad shoulders and narrow waist from behind , her face went hot again and again . Gotta say , his body was pretty much perfect . He had perfect abs , though she couldn't remember how many , just a lot . They felt great - smooth and firm .... Latrina held her forehead , trying hard not to remember what happened that day . Back in the room , Gerhart actually helped her put all her clothes away in the closet , including her underwear ... When Latrina set the tulips in the study vase that had never held flowers before , it suddenly hit her : she'd bought new underwear . She hurried back to the cloakroom and found he had already finished tidying everything up . Are you hungry ? " Gerhart walked toward her . " A little . " She quickly turned and walked out of the closet . ' Change that bad habit of not eating on time . " 4 " Oh . " She couldn't help but laugh to herself and walked toward the first floor . Went downstairs , the maid had already brought out the food . Latrina walked to the kitchen and washed her hands . الله " Sir was really nice to you , he waited outside for you the whole time and didn't eat a single bite . " The maid whispered quietly in Latrina's ear . Latrina wiped her hands and locked over at Gerhart . He was on the phone nearby , pacing around absentmindedly , and his eyes just met Latrina's . The two of them quickly looked away . " Did you drink your milk today ? " Gerhart gave her several pieces of meat . " Yeah , thanks . " So official , didn't feel like a couple at all , it was like doing a quest in a game just to level up . " Turned off the alarm tonight , didn't need to get up that early , went out around 10:30 tomorrow night . " Gerhart . " ? " Latrina wondered what he meant by that : " You're going too ? " . " You didn't look at the schedule ? " Gerhart raised his eyelids , his eyes dark . That look scared Latrina so much she flinched . " Sorry , Mr. Crowley ... " She got so nervous that she started to stumble over her words . If this happened at the company, who knows how badly she'd get yelled at . " It's fine , you don't need to look either , just follow me when the time comes . " Gerhart finished the bite in his mouth and seemed to be thinking about something . Latrina let out a sigh , felt like she just got off work , then got home and had to work again . Wouldn't that leave him with a bad impression ? Gerhart put down his knife and fork , suddenly remembered something , and said , " Eduardo is still in the hospital , but the police got someone to cover it up , so there's no record . " 1314 Θ WebNovel OPEN 4.3 FREE 100 % Menu < Chapter 22 When Latrina heard it , her scalp tingled , and her knuckles turned white as she gripped the fork . The fact that Eduardo could get out probably meant there was some big power behind him . " Did you piss someone off ? " Gerhart's eyes were cold and sharp . Latrina didn't dare look at him . A few days ago , she wanted to talk about it , but Gerhart didn't give her a chance , so she didn't say anything . Since he asked today , Latrina didn't hide anything and told the whole story just as it happened . Gerhart smiled . So rare , he was actually smiling in this situation . " What are you laughing at ? " Latrina asked suspiciously . He licked his lower lip . " Pulling this off - killing two birds with one stone , letting someone else do the dirty work - I've got to admit , I didn't see that coming . Gerhart had thought she was all talk , but her defenses were sharper than he ever imagined . flicker of admiration stirred in him , and for a moment , he felt a sense of triumph . " " Really ... " Latrina was startled , she thought he would be mad , mad that she caused him trouble . " You didn't think I ... " " You did a great job , but if something like this happens next time , remember to tell me . Don't act rashly . " Gerhart reached out and wiped the breadcrumbs off the corner of her mouth . She thought , " Did he mean : If you need anything , just tell me , I've got your back ? " Latrina stayed where she was , feeling like the corner of her mouth he touched was burning . Her heart was racing so fast it made her breath quicken and her cheeks turn red . Suddenly she felt Gerhart was so gentle , her mind went blank . " I'll go take a shower first . " Gerhart patted her head and left the table . He was touching her head ... Latrina was totally stunned and just stood there , her eyes following him as he left , until he walked into the room . She let out a long sigh of relief , pinched her own cheek , not dreaming . No one had ever told her : Don't be afraid , I'm here . But just now , that's exactly what Gerhart meant . She absentmindedly ate her food , thinking about what he just said , and her face kept turning red . After taking a shower , Gerhart was at the desk in the study working on some files . Latrina was sitting on the small sofa in the study working overtime on her drawings . But she couldn't think of anything , all she had in her mind were those little things Gerhart did to her ... She felt annoyed , tossed the computer aside , and flopped onto the couch . Gerhart glanced at her and saw her perfect figure outlined in the silk loungewear , and his Adam's apple bobbed . Suddenly thought she was really cute . Soon Latrina sat up , put down the drawing board , and quietly looked something up on the computer . " Gerhart . " She tilted her head and looked at him . " Huh ? " " Last time we moved , where did I put that box of manuscripts ? " < Chapter 22 She vaguely remembered that some things were sorted out for her by Gerhart . He slowly got up , walked to the display shelf by the book wall , and took out a big box . " Is this what you were talking about ? " " Yeah , that's it . " Latrina knelt on the couch and reached out to take the box , like it was a treasure . " You didn't prepare the manuscript either , did you ? " Gerhart saw through her little scheme . " Hehe ... " Latrina sat on the couch , holding the box and opening it with a cheerful but slightly apologetic smile . " It's okay , I still had a lot of drafts . " But Gerhart didn't go back to his desk , he sat down next to her instead , with one arm resting on the back of the sofa behind her . Latrina got nervous all of a sudden , her nerves tense . What did he want to do ? Yeah , he wanted a kiss , or maybe ... She glanced at him carefully , " You ... " Let me take a look . " He was pretty natural . " Oh . " Latrina's hands were shaking . It was so late at night , and he was standing so close that she could even feel his breath . She could feel the sandalwood scent from Gerhart slowly spreading onto her . She didn't prepare a script , so she could only use some old ones from previous years to see if any would work . She flipped through them one by one , and Gerhart's expression changed as she did . E Gerhart picked up a sketch and studied it carefully . It seemed familiar , but he couldn't place where he had seen it before . Latrina hurried over and stuffed it back in the box , afraid he'd notice something . " I'll show you after I pick one , you go work first ... " She hurriedly moved to the side . Gerhart chuckled and sat back down at the computer desk . Menu He glanced at the tulips on the table , reached out with his bony fingers to touch them , the corners of his mouth lifting a little , then went back to
