I’m in the middle of the summit. How am I supposed to eat?

Lysander was worried that the food inside might give off a smell, so she tightly clutched the top of thebrown paper bag.

Whatever Josiah was saying, she barely paid any attention.

However, it wasn’t long before Josiah finished his speech. By the time Lysander had gathered herthoughts, all she heard was him thanking the audience, followed by the thunderous applause from thecrowd.

The host took the microphone from his hand and said, “Thank you, Mr. Guerra, for your concise andinsightful sharing. We also appreciate you taking the time out of your busy schedule to participate inthis summit. I’m sure everyone present has gained a lot from it. Now, moving on…”

The host glanced at the cue card in his hand, ready to proceed to the next segment.

“Let’s take a break,” said Josiah.

The host was stunned for a moment. “What?”

Josiah elaborated, “The meeting has been going on for over an hour now, so let’s all take a break.”

The host immediately understood, nodded, and said, “Having just heard so many unique insights fromindustry elites, everyone must be tired. The summit will be adjourned for half an hour. Everyone, pleasetake a break, and we’ll continue half an hour later.”

As soon as the word ‘break‘ was mentioned, the venue became noisy immediately.

Indeed, there were quite a few bigwigs who attended the meeting that day. Many took the opportunityto network, and others seized the chance to connect with peers in the industry. Everyone had their ownagenda, and a lot could be accomplished in half an hour.

The girl next to Lysander asked, “I’m going to the restroom, care to join me? I reckon the next chancewon’t be until lunch break, so we better seize the opportunity.”

Lysander hadn’t eaten anything in the morning, hence she didn’t feel the need to go.

“I’m fine staying here.”

“Ah, alright then.”

“Could you tell me where in the summit venue is less crowded and a bit quieter?”

The girl pouted. “You’ve seen it yourself. There are hundreds of people here today. The venue is onlyso large, so it’s impossible to find a quiet corner. I bet there’s even a line for the ladies.”

“Oh… Thank you.”

Buzz…

Right then, her cellphone vibrated.

She responded with a question mark.

Josiah: Grab your stuff and come over

Lysander immediately turned off the screen.

Bree…

The phone vibrated again.

Josiah: Do I have to come over in person to invite you?

Lysander took a deep breath.

She then walked out, holding her cellphone and the brown paper bag.

Following Josiah’s instructions, I found the third door on the right.

Just as she was about to knock on the door, she was suddenly tapped on the shoulder.

“Ah, it’s you!”

ཚ�། �ྜ �ཱ་བཟོ་

Lysander was startled. She turned her head, and to her surprise, it was the same girl who had justbeen sitting next to her.

“Ah, you’re back from the restroom?”

“Um, what are you doing here?”

Just at that moment, the door was pulled open.

Josiah emerged from inside, his brows slightly furrowed. “What took you so long?”

In response, the girl respectfully greeted, “Mr. Guerra.”

Josiah courteously nodded, then turned to Lysander and said, “Come in first”

Lysander casually swung the brown paper bag in her hand and said to the girl, “I’ve brought somethingfor Mr. Guerra.”

“Oh, in that case, you should carry on.”

As soon as Lysander stepped in, Josiah quickly shut the door and locked it.

The room was a lounge prepared for him by the summit. It contained a spacious couch, and a massiveLCD display screen adorned the wall.

Josiah pulled her down to sit on the couch. “Quick, start eating. I went a long way to bring this back. It’llget cold soon.”

Lysander asked, “Where’s Tiffany?”

“Having fun somewhere. She finds these kinds of summits incredibly dull.”

and handed her the items inside one by one.

“This place is quite secluded. There aren’t many places to grab breakfast around, and after somesearching, I could only find a bakery stall. But, it was quite crowded, so the food should be decent. Giveit a try.”

Lysander took a bite and indeed, the taste was quite good.

The croissant had a delicate, crispy pastry. When biting into it, one could taste the melted chocolateinside.

“There’s also soy milk,” he said.

Josiah opened the lid for her, placing it in front of her. “Go on and eat, but there’s no need to rush, ashalf an hour is more than enough.”

Due to her profession as a doctor, her meals were hardly ever regular.

However, since she was accustomed to waking up carly, she always made sure to have breakfast.

Therefore, going hungry this morning was purely accidental.

She asked, “Did you eat at the hotel this morning?”

“Mmm–hmm, I grabbed something to eat at the hotel,” Josiah said, settling down next to her. He pulleda small, clear plastic container from a brown paper bag and opened it. “Here’s some butter.”

“I don’t need it.”

“Fine, have it your way.”

Lysander nibbled on her croissant, taking small bites. As she gulped down a bag of soy milk, a warmsensation filled her stomach.

“Where did you buy this? Was it far?”

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have taken over an hour to return..

Josiah asked, “It’s alright. Why do you ask?”

“Did you drive there?”

Josiah said irritably, “Given the traffic conditions in the capital, who would dare to drive during themorning rush hour? It’s a nightmare.”

Lysander quickly understood what happened.

No wonder he was gasping for breath when he returned. Since a return trip took over an hour, one waywould take more than half an hour. It seems that place is quite far away.

“Thank you.”

Josiah chuckled. “So how are you going to thank me?”

Lysander furrowed her brows.

Josiah could read her mind, but he couldn’t help but tease her. “Don’t worry, I won’t set you up duringthe second half.”

After finishing her meal and drink, Lysander felt significantly better.

Glancing at her phone, she saw that there were still fifteen minutes left.

Josiah said, “We still have some time, why don’t you take off your heels and lie down for a bit?”

Lysander shook her head. “No more lying down for me. I just jotted down some notes and took apicture to send to Daphne.”

“She’s not in a hurry to receive them.”

Without hesitation, Josiah bent down, his hand gently clasping her ankle. With his other hand, hehelped her slip out of her high heels, placing them casually to one side. Then, he rested her slenderlegs on his

own.

Lysander asked warily, “What are you doing?”

“What could I possibly do in just a few minutes?”

As he spoke, he took hold of her calf, gently kneading it with his knuckles.

The strength in his hands was quite considerable. Lysander, whose legs were already aching, felt tearswelling up in her eyes almost immediately.

She brushed his hand aside. “No need, no need. It’ll be all right in a few days.”

“Once I give you a massage, you’ll feel better. Bear with it for a bit. It’ll be over soon.”

“No, I really can’t. It hurts too much.”

Yet, Josiah didn’t let go. He simply started massaging on his own accord.novelbin

Lysander was in unbearable pain, her eyes welling up with tears in no time. With people coming andgoing outside, she didn’t dare to speak too loudly. “Is it over? Can we stop now?”

Seeing her dramatic reaction, Josiah finally decided to let her be, asking. “Can you walk back?”

“It’s not that bad,” Lysander said. “I used to stand for hours in the operating room before. I’m sure I canhandle it.”

She reached out to take her high heels back and struggled to slip them onto her feet.

When she stood up, she was still somewhat shaky, but she felt much better than before. The sorenessshe had earlier had lessened a bit.

It seems that Josiah had put in a lot of effort into learning how to massage, and it isn’t just for show. Allfor the sake of Lysanne.

“It’s about time. I’ll head back first. You should wait a bit after I leave before doing the same.

After uttering those words, Lysander swiftly stepped out of the lounge. She quickly made her way intothe venue and returned to her own seat.

Her spot was in the middle. Thus, she inevitably caused some inconvenience, as she had to ask othersto make way for her.

Finally, when she sat down, she glanced over at Zone A.

The seat reserved for Josiah was still vacant.

“Why are you crying?” The girl next to her asked, noticing her reddened eyes. “Did Mr. Guerra scoldyou?”
