The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning by Max Charming Chapter 1047
Blake lay on the couch with an adoring gaze, tilting her head as she watched the person who looked handsome even when reading documents.
The staff in the Administrative Department were jealous that she got to work as Kevin’s assistant. They thought being able to see his good looks every day could make their food taste better.
After Kevin finished his work, Blake switched off the last main switch, and they stepped into the elevator to go down. Coincidentally, a group of coworkers who had just finished work emerged from the adjacent elevator on the ground floor, excitedly discussing plans to grab some late-night snacks.
One bold female colleague among them called to Kevin, “Mr. Harrison, did you guys also just finish work? How about grabbing a bite with us? With the company landing such a big project, it wouldn’t be right if Mr. Harrison didn’t treat us!”
“Yes! We rarely work this late. Mr. Harrison, please join us for late-night snacks!” The colleagues behind them all chimed in.
“If you guys aren’t tired, we’ll continue working overtime tomorrow,” said Kevin. He knew how to disrupt the mood well. With just a few words, he silenced everyone instantly.
The person who had just started the ruckus grabbed Blake and whispered to her, “Blake, it’s rare for us to have a chance to interact with Mr. Harrison. You’ve got to make the most of it for us, or else we shared all this gossip with you for nothing. We’ve got some fresh gossip and can secretly tell you during meals.”
Blake gave her colleague a thumbs-up and said, “I’ve got this.”
Then, Blake approached Kevin and asked, “Mr. Harrison, I’m hungry. How about grabbing some late-night snacks?”
Kevin asked, “Since when did you start joining them in making a fuss? Aren’t you tired?”
Blake grinned, “I just got a good nap! Come with us! I bet them five hundred dollars you’d come. If you do, I’ll split the winnings. Two hundred dollars for you.”
“Not interested,” said Kevin.
Blake continued, “Hey! You can’t be that greedy! I’ll give you three hundred dollars, okay?”
When Kevin took out his car keys from his pocket, Blake quickly grabbed his hand and looked into his eyes. She said, “Starting tomorrow, I’ll be your driver after work for a month.”
Kevin’s icy face showed a subtle shift in emotion as he smiled. He tossed the car keys to Blake and said, “Remember what you said.”
‘She involved just for that five hundred dollars? Didn’t she feel she was the one who lost out?’ Kevin thought.
Blake was driving Kevin’s car with three passengers in the back. The silence inside was eerie as if it was empty. Another car was tailing them. They eventually reached a night market and stopped at a grill stall.
Kevin’s presence made the atmosphere a bit uneasy. Blake secretly received the payment and chuckled to herself.
While Blake was enjoying her meal, she did not forget to pour a glass of water for Kevin. During this period, her main task was to keep Kevin’s preferences in mind. Coffee during the day and water at night.
“Mr. Harrison, I don’t know if you’re into this late-night snack stall. We can go to a different restaurant next time if you don’t like it. I know a French restaurant that’s particularly delicious.
“Yes! How about we go tomorrow?”
They worried Kevin might decline, so they discreetly nudged Blake. She agreed with her mouth full of food, ” I’m fine as long as I’m not paying.”
A colleague teased, “Blake, you’re pretty tight-fisted. With a salary like yours, you could treat us to dinner. Why not use this chance to do so? We’ll pay next time.”
