Before lissa could say anything, Murray hung up the phone.
Hearing the busy signals from the other side of the line, lissa shook her head helplessly.
She wondered why Murray wanted to see her again.
There seed to be sothing wrong with him recently, and she had been receiving frequent calls from him.
As soon as the elevator got to the 18th floor, lissa went straight to Murray’s office.
The office door was already ajar. lissa knocked.
"Co in," the frigid voice of Murray ca.
lissa walked in and saw Murray sitting in his office chair.
His suit jacket was taken off and placed on the sofa. He wore a simple white shirt. His top two shirt buttons were left undone, revealing his perfect pectorals. Combined with his handso facial features, he was absolutely the most charming man in the world.
At this mont, Murray was staring at the computer screen, with only one of his hands tapping the keyboard.
lissa lost in thought for a mont. She heard that Murray was a workaholic, and it seed to be true.
Although his right hand was injured, he had still co to work instead of taking a rest.
Out of the corner of his eye, Murray saw lissa staring at him in a daze. "Do I look good?" Murray asked, with the corners of his lips curling up slightly.
lissa ca back to her senses and realized that she had been staring at Murray just now. Embarrassed, she faked a coughing fit and asked, "Why did you ask to co?"
"You just had a eting with the people from France this afternoon, right?" Murray stopped what he was doing and leaned back, crossing his legs casually. There was a sense of elegance and nobility to what he did.
"Yes." lissa nodded, but underneath she was sowhat puzzled by Murray’s concern for this project.
Was he planning to increase the investnt in jewelry and expand the market?
"I need a detailed description of the progress." Murray narrowed his eyes.
lissa kept her temper and continued, "The main purpose of today’s eting was to provide an opportunity for both parties to discuss the next steps. I am working on the minutes right now. I will report to you after I finish. If there is nothing else, I’d better go and continue my work."
Seeing lissa’s eagerness to leave, Murray stopped her, "Wait a minute." His expression was glacial.
"Is there anything else?"
"Have you forgotten?" Murray raised his right hand, "The doctor said that ointnt should be renewed twice a day."
lissa was stunned, "Then do it."
"I can’t," Murray said expressionlessly.
"Can’t?" lissa silently cursed.
"What was wrong with this man? Can’t he even apply ointnt himself?"
Just as she was about to say "Then learn to do it yourself," Murray pursed his lips and said, "This is how you treat your savior, ugh!"
"Alright, I’ll help you with it. Is that okay?" Seeing Murray bring up the word "savior" again, lissa scowled, "Where is the ointnt then?"
"There," Murray pointed to a drawer.
lissa opened the drawer and took out ointnt, alcohol, and gauze. She squatted down and started to apply ointnt to Murray’s wound.
She opened the lid, picked up so ointnt with her fingers, and evenly applied it to the back of Murray’s hand.
Her slender fingers gently stroked the back of his hand. The coolness of the ointnt brought Murray an unprecedented sense of comfort.
"Have you studied dicine before?" Murray asked.
lissa’s movent stopped for an imperceptible mont.
"You seem skilled in it," Murray spoke in his low voice, looking down at the woman in front of him with a deeper gaze.
"I just know a little about it," lissa smiled.
Seeing her in front of him and applying ointnt on his wound gently, a sense of peace and quietness crept into Murray’s heart.
"lissa." Murray suddenly spoke in a low and hoarse voice.
"What?" lissa raised her eyes to look at him, only to see that his deep eyes were flickering with a blaze.
"Is it true..." Murray was about to say "Is it true that you care nothing about ?" However, lissa’s smartphone rang and interrupted him.
"Excuse ..." lissa looked at the screen. The call was from Harley.
Seeing Harley’s na flashing on the screen, Murray’s face clouded over imdiately.
Was lissa really dating Harley?
Unable to hold the phone with her stained hand, lissa put the phone on the table and put him on speaker.
"li, are you busy?" Harley’s voice ca from the phone.
"No. What’s the matter?" lissa smiled.
Harley pretended to be unhappy and deliberately asked in an exaggerated manner, "Do you an that I can only find you when there’s a matter?"
"Of course not. You are always welco." lissa said with a smile while continuing to apply ointnt for Murray.
"li, are you available tonight?" Harley chuckled.
"Yes. What is it?"
"Last ti on my birthday, you left early because you were not feeling well. What a pity! Since I’m free tonight, how about we have dinner together? My treat." Harley warmly invited.
"Ok, my pleasure."
lissa agreed, but she did not notice that Murray’s face was growing annoyed.
Murray wore a long face, and his seductive thin lips were tightly pursed into a line, showing his displeasure.
He could not believe that lissa just accepted the invitation from another man right in front of him!
Was Harley the reason why she cared nothing about him?
She was smiling and laughing when talking to Harley, but when she was in front of him, she had nothing but impatience and unwillingness.
Was lissa fond of good-looking younger n like Harley?
"Deal. li, you are such a nice person. I’m glad you will co! I will pick you up at seven o’clock." Harley hung up the phone gaily.
lissa attempted to stand up and put the phone back in her pocket, but because she had been squatting for too long, her feet had gone numb and she fell towards Murray.
Coincidentally, her hand hit right on Murray’s wound.
Murray felt the pain from the back of his hand and a groan escaped his lips.
"Sorry, Murray. Are you alright?" lissa was embarrassed and stood up quickly.
"Do you like Harley?" Murray spoke with a long face, not answering her question.
Like Harley?
lissa was stunned.
She was treating Harley as her younger brother. Murray wouldn’t have misunderstood their relationship, would he?
However, even if he misunderstood, she did not see the point in explaining it to him.
"Sure," lissa replied carelessly.
Sure?
So it ans she likes Harley?
Murray’s face was eerily gloomy, and his voice was frosty, "Have you forgotten that we are now at a crucial juncture for ’Ice and Fire’? I need you to work tonight to improve the proposal."
"But I already have a plan for tonight." lissa frowned, "What’s more, I think the proposal is complete, and Bruce has approved it."
Murray stood up all of a sudden and looked down at lissa, oozing a cold air all around his body, "I am your boss. I have the final say!"
