228 CH 227: Couples Here, Singles There Reading—

Eve listed the last bit of her to-do list on her business phone. 

Then, she checked on the time. 

The clock was minutes away from reaching lunch break. She tucked the device away and hugged a clipboard to her chest. Her teeth bit on her lips from the inside. The faint hint of a blush colored her ears. 

Her boss continued to type on his computer.

Clearing her throat, she decided to wing it with her best smile plastered on her face. "Sir Hathaway, would you like some egg rolls for lunch? I brought a lot today as requested."

Ambryan peeled his eyes off his monitor. He rested his chin on the palm of his hand. A hint of a smirk curled on the corner of his lip. "I didn't know you would be so eager. I only told you about that a day ago, right?"

"Well, it was either today or there wouldn't be enough eggs to share."

He chuckled, shaking his head. "Sadly, I can't take time off for lunch. Mind bringing it here?"

"Of course. Wait a minute."
