Chapter 337:
“Will my insistence on Monica cause you any trouble? I really don’t want to see it happen p>
Richard chuckled confidently.
“Don’t worry. If I can’t deal with such a minor issue, what kind of editor-in-chief would I be p>
Jenessa’s worry lines relaxed, touched by his words.
“Don’t worry, Rick,” she solemnly promised, “we made the right choice. Meeting Monica sparked my imagination; she’s like my muse. The pieces I’ll design definitely won’t disappoint p>
Seeing her dive back into work mode, Richard gently urged, “No rush. You should rest first p>
As he spoke, he handed her a bag with the pharmacy’s logo on it.
Confused, Jenessa took it and looked inside.
Inside the bag, Jenessa found several boxes of stomach medicine, leading her to realize that Richard had excused himself earlier not just casually but to specifically procure these items for her. He had been aware of her recent bouts of nausea and retching during their stay at the hotel, showing concern for her wellbeing.
Furthermore, nestled among the items in the bag were various snacks, all from brands she favored. Her astonishment was palpable.
Richard, speaking with a gentle tone beside her, said, “I know you often neglect to eat and rest when you’re absorbed in work, so I picked up some stomach medicine and snacks to help maintain your energy. But it’s crucial to remember to take care of yourself, no matter how busy you get p>
brings fresh updates
The warmth of his smile kindled a similar warmth in Jenessa’s heart.
She picked up a box of chocolate marshmallows, her surprise evident in her voice.
“I thought this brand was no longer available. How did you manage to find it p>
With a light chuckle, Richard responded, somewhat amazed himself, “I had to visit several stores to track it down. It seems I was fortunate to find such a rare treat without much trouble p>
Jenessa, looking at his cheerful expression, felt a deep sense of gratitude.
“Rick, thank you. It’s wonderful of you to look out for me, but don’t forget to care for yourself too p>
“Understood. Now, since it’s late, you should head back and rest,” Richard suggested with a smile.
“I’d accompany you home if not for the work awaiting me p>
Jenessa shook her head reassuringly.
“No worries, focus on your tasks p>
After walking her to the roadside, Richard watched as she entered a taxi. His gaze lingered tenderly on the receding vehicle.
This tender moment did not go unnoticed by several of his colleagues, who began murmuring to each other.
“It’s rare to see Richard, usually so stern, being so gentle p>
“Did you hear? Earlier today, Sloane stood her ground on a particular choice, clashing with Vinson, and Richard supported her,” one colleague recounted.
“That must have been quite the showdown. I’m sorry to have missed it,” another added wistfully.
“Do you suppose there’s something romantic going on between him and Sloane p>
