Chapter 1414

Vermont put on a fake smile. "You're too thoughtful. It's dangerous for a girl like you to come out so late at night."

Felicity replied, "Don't worry, Stella dropped me off here. She went to send Keegan supper, too. She'll pick me up

after she's done."

Vermont was speechless. He gritted his teeth while continuing to fake his smile. "She's really helpful."

Felicity said, "Stella treated me really well. She purposely consulted a doctor before helping me make this soup."

She paused briefly before continuing, "She said that it significantly affects Keegan. You've been having it for a week

now. Do you feel anything?

"I've been wanting to ask you about it, but you'd run off every time you finish it, and I don't get a chance to do that

at all. Stella said that something should be happening after a week of drinking it. Otherwise, she suggests we go to

the hospital for a comprehensive checkup."

Vermont said inwardly, 'You'll see it happening with your naked eye if I didn't run off.'

"I'm talking to you." Felicity nudged him.

Vermont had no choice but to lie, "It kind of works, I guess. I'd feel warmer after drinking it."

"Is that all? Nothing else?"

Vermont shook his head. "Nope."

Felicity furrowed her brows, looking very concerned.

Vermont added, "Alternative medicine varies from person to person anyway. What works for others might not work

for me."

He intended to tell Felicity that the soup was not working and that she should stop making it for him.

However, she took it the wrong way as she nodded and said, "That makes sense. I'll get the doctor's number from

Stella later and take you there for a more accurate diagnosis."

Vermont was at a loss for words.

Felicity was not done yet. She added, "This soup is working since you said you feel warm after drinking it. Let's not

waste it. I'll pour it out for you."

Vermont did not say anything. He looked at the soup being offered to him. However, he had no choice but to go

along with it.

After finishing the soup, Vermont handed the thermos jar back to her and said, "It's getting very late. You should go

back now. Don't you have work tomorrow?"

"Stella isn’t here yet anyway. There's no rush."

She placed the thermos jar on the table and started looking around in his office.

Vermont's office was not like Keegan's, which only had books and files. There were a lot of figurines, toys, and

puzzles in his office. Felicity scanned his office and saw many things unrelated to work.

She took a Rubik's cube, sat on his office chair, and began playing with it.

Vermont looked at the time and thought to himself. 'Did Stella go to deliver food, or is she going there to cook?

'It has been so long. Why is she not here yet? Felicity will soon find out I'm lying to her if she doesn’t leave now.'

Then, he cleared his throat and said, "Miss bandit, you shouldn't wait for Stella anymore. I'm sure that she's having

a good time with Keegan now. God knows when she'll come and pick you up. I'll have my driver send you back."

Felicity replied without even lifting her head. "Stella said that she'd come pick me up. She always keeps her word."

Vermont was speechless.

"Do you want to wait downstairs then?"

Felicity paused and looked at him. "What's wrong? Can't I stay in your office?"

Vermont pursed his lips. "I have work to do, but I can't shift my attention away from you if you're here."

However, Felicity was not that easy to fool.

She stood up, walked up to Vermont, and sized him up with her eyes squinted.

Vermont felt a shiver run down his spine under her gaze as he pretended to be calm and said, "What are you

doing?"

"Something's wrong with you!" Felicity said.

Vermont kept a poker face. "What is? You're imagining things."

Felicity scoffed. "I brought you soup, and you pretended to be happy. But your smile sold you out."
