Gia had assumed that Jacob, being inexperienced in dating, would be clueless and not treat her well. She quickly

realized that he applied his shrewdness as a lawyer in their relationship, refusing to even give her a free piece of

chocolate.

That’s why she ended up with Tobias. It was just…

Gia let out a deep breath. Men were all unreliable. She wondered why Lina had such a dependable man while even

Renee, who was considered a disgrace, had someone doting on her.

Gia clenched her fists with malice burning in her eyes like a flame.

It was already past 10:00 p.m., and Lina was still engrossed in studying a design sketch in her office. She stretched

and noticed Renee smiling at her, gesturing with her eyes from across the room.

That’s when Lina realized that Zuko had entered without her noticing. She let out a soft gasp and lightly punched

him. “How come you walk so quietly!?”

“I knocked.” Zuko chuckled. “You were so focused on your work that you didn’t hear me. Look, I even brought

supper for you.”

Lina saw the delicate meal box in his hand and suddenly realized how hungry she was. She put her work aside and

prepared to enjoy the meal first.

Renee tactfully shut down the computer and got up to leave. “I won’t disturb you two. I’ll leave first!”

“Hey, Renee, why don’t you have some too?”

“Toph is waiting for her downstairs.” Zuko chuckled softly. “Don’t worry. She won’t go hungry!”

Zuko wanted to have some alone time with Lina, so he ensured no one else was in the office. He even woke Toph,

who rarely slept late, to accompany him and brought supper.

Lina smiled at him and was about to start eating when Zuko moved closer and placed his hand on her waist. She

pushed him away, but he held onto her even tighter, pressing her head against his chest and refusing to let go.

“Zuko…”

“It’s been days since I last saw you.” Zuko’s voice was low. “Don’t you miss me?”

“I’m focused on my career right now, so I’m not thinking about men.”

He narrowed his eyes and leaned closer. “Then how can I capture your attention?”

Lina burst into laughter, and Zuko took the opportunity to kiss her cheek.

Lina playfully dodged, but she froze as if she had been shocked, not daring to move when she felt a sharp pain in

her waist.

“What’s wrong?” Zuko was taken aback. “Did I hurt you?”

“No, no…” Lina waved her hand, but it took her a while to relax. She rubbed the sore spot on her waist and

explained, “This part of my waist has been hurting recently, but it’s not serious. The other day when Mr. Sam came

to the construction site, and I accompanied him to inspect the progress, a cement board almost hit me…”

“What!?” Zuko turned pale. “Why didn’t you tell me about such a major incident!?”

“I didn’t want to bother you because I wasn’t injured.” Lina looked at him with bright, sparkling eyes. “Maybe I

twisted my waist when I dodged it, so it started hurting again these past few days.”

Zuko wanted to lift her clothes and check, but his hand hesitated in the air before slowly retracting. It seemed too

rash to do that.

Kissing her was one thing, but immediately checking her injuries… It wouldn’t be appropriate.

Nevertheless, Zuko retrieved his phone from his pocket and spoke earnestly. “Send all the ointments for treating

bruises and injuries to the Thompson Group’s Supremacy Building!

Zuko then turned to her. “Lina, where exactly does it hurt in your waist? Be more precise.”

“It’s right here.” Lina pointed to a specific spot on her waist. “It’s where… I had that birthmark removed.”
