<b>Chapter </b>383
Charlotte <b>was </b>stunned.
<b>Jaxson </b>just smiled and said, “So you like in <b>vors</b>, huh? I’ll make you another one.”
He walked to the kitchen.
Charlotte clenched her fists<b>, </b>stood up and shouted<b>, </b><b>“</b>Jaxson, I didn’t eat <b>the </b><b>breakfast </b>you made, you <b>don’t </b>need to make it for <b>me</b><b>!</b><b>” </b>
He paused for a moment<b>, </b><b>as </b>if not <b>really </b>listening, “Have breakfast, then work.”
Charlotte knocked <b>over </b>the <b>tableware </b><b>on </b>the table.
Jaxson walked out <b>of </b>the kitchen immediately and looked at the broken pieces on <b>the </b>floor. <b>He </b>walked up to <b>her </b>and opened <b>her </b><b>palm</b>,“<b>Are </b>you okay<b>?</b><b>” </b>
With a <b>loud </b>noise, Cynthia and the bodyguard <b>were </b>startled. They <b>entered </b><b>the </b>room <b>and </b><b>saw </b>the mess on <b>the </b>floor. Cynthia <b>was </b>speechless.
No big deal, a few <b>people </b>just backed out.
Charlotte bit <b>her </b>lip, pulled her hand <b>out</b>, <b>and </b>didn’t look at him.
<b>Jaxson </b>knew she was <b>upset</b>, her voice <b>hoarse</b>, “What <b>can </b>I do to help, don’t <b>hurt </b>yourself.”
Charlotte didn’t argue with him anymore<b>, </b><b>she </b>justpromised.
No <b>matter </b>how she resisted, he always acted like he didn’t <b>care</b>. So, she stopped resisting.
She <b>was </b>curious to <b>see </b>how far he would indulge her.
Charlotte <b>just </b><b>got </b>to the hospital when she got <b>a </b><b>call </b>from James at the elevator<b>. </b><b>James </b>said, Anders‘ <b>team </b><b>has </b>joined the nanotherapy project. <b>Their </b><b>team </b>will probably <b>arrive </b>in Pornd <b>next </b>week. He <b>asked </b>her to attend <b>together</b>.
She only met Prof. Hawkins <b>once, </b>didn’t <b>really </b>talk much, but she knew that with <b>Prof. </b>Hawkins on <b>board</b>, the future <b>of </b><b>medical </b>technology would be <b>bright</b>.
Charlotte agreed.
<b>The </b>elevator door <b>opened</b>, <b>she </b><b>was </b><b>about </b>to step in, <b>and </b>then she met Nigel’s <b>gaze</b>.
She <b>hesitated </b><b>for </b><b>a </b><b>moment</b><b>, </b>then stood <b>next </b>to him <b>and </b><b>said</b>, “Prof. Kendall.”
<b>Nigel pressed </b><b>the </b><b>elevator</b><b>, </b><b>You </b><b>went </b>on <b>rounds </b><i>with </i><b>me </b>this <b>afternoon</b>.”
<b>“</b><b>Me</b>?<b>” </b><b>Charlotte </b><b>pointed </b><b>at </b><b>herself</b><b>. </b><b>“</b><b>Isn’t </b><b>Wace </b><b>your </b><b>assistant</b><b>?</b><b>” </b>
He took <b>a </b><b>day </b>off<b>.</b><b>” </b>
Taking a <b>day </b>off? <b>Are </b><b>you </b>sick?”
<b>Blind </b><b>date</b><b>.</b><b>” </b>
Charlotte <b>nodded</b><b>, </b><b>paused </b><b>for </b><b>a </b><b>few </b><b>seconds</b><b>, </b><b>“</b><b>Why </b><b>me</b><b>?</b><b>” </b>
Nigel <b>casually </b><b>said</b>, “<b>The </b><b>special </b><b>expert </b><b>can </b><b>choose </b><b>any </b><b>assistant</b><b>, </b><b>and </b><b>since </b><b>you’re </b><b>new</b>, I picked you.”
Charlotte <b>squeezed </b><b>out </b><b>a </b><b>smile </b><b>and </b><b>said</b><b>, </b><b>“</b>I <b>really </b><b>appreciate </b>it.”
“No problem<b>.</b><b>” </b>
Charlotte <b>and </b>Nigel walked out <b>of </b>the <b>elevator </b><b>and </b>bumped into Penelope.
Charlotte was taken aback. Penelope’s crush on Nigel was no <b>secret</b><b>, </b><b>especially </b>since <b>they </b><b>had </b>just <b>be </b>friends. She <b>didn’t </b><b>want </b><b>people </b><b>to </b>get <b>the </b>wrong idea <b>because </b><b>of </b>this.
<b>She </b>walked up to Penelope<b>, </b><b>“</b><b>We </b><b>just </b>happened to <b>bump </b>into <b>each </b>other.”
Penelope pursed her lips <b>and </b><b>gave </b>Nigel <b>a </b>nce.
Nigel was looking <b>at </b>his phone, not paying attention to this side.

<b>Aw</b>, you <b>don’t </b><b>really </b><b>need </b>to exin to me,” <b>Penelope </b><b>patted </b>her shoulder<b>, </b>“<b>I </b><b>believe </b><b>you’re </b>not that kind of <b>person</b>.”
Charlotte lifted her chin <b>and </b>pointed <i>at </i>him, “But he insisted <b>that </b><b>I </b><b>apany </b>him for the consultation in the afternoon, <b>it’s </b><b>too </b>much, after <i>all</i>, I am the <b>head</b>.”
<b>Penelope </b><b>was </b>surprised, “You still <b>don’t </b>want to?<b>” </b>
<b>Ican </b>chat with him <b>forever</b>, why <b>don’t </b><b>you </b>go?”
Charlotte tapped <b>her </b>shoulder <b>and </b>shook her <b>head</b>, “<b>I </b><b>gave </b>up. I have nothing to talk about with Prof. Kendall. I <b>don’t </b><b>even </b>know what to say to him as
Nigel was standing behind the two, with a deep look in his <b>eyes</b>, “I could hear it.”
When this <b>was </b>said, the two of them were <b>so </b>scared that <b>they </b>jumped.
<b>Penelope </b>left Charlotte behind like she <b>got </b><b>caught </b>doing something <b>wrong</b>, then “escaped.” Charlotte grinned and looked <i>at </i>Nigel, changing the <b>subject</b><b>, </b>“What time are <b>you </b>seeing <b>patients </b><b>this </b>afternoon?”
<b>He </b>bent <b>down </b>slightly<b>, </b>but not too close, I could faintly smell the light <b>soap </b>scent on his clothes, “Don’t you have <b>my </b>WhatsApp? <i>Wait </i>for <b>the </b>notification.”
<b>Before </b>she could <b>react</b>, Nigel walked <b>past </b><b>her </b><b>and </b><b>left </b>without looking <b>back</b>.
