Chapter 31 Offering a kiss

Only the Dragon Valley in New York had these special roots growing.

Is this box sent from New York? Then who sent it? This person clearly knew what kind of medicine shewas

studying.

Is there someone watching her?

Natalie was puzzled. She took out the herbs from the box and observed them carefully. She grew up inthe Spears family and knew all kinds of herbs. Obviously, these were freshly harvested and also ofexcellent

quality.

Natalie raised her eyebrows. Since such a good gift had been sent to her, she couldn’t refuse thiskindness.

It would be a pity if such good stuff were not used properly.

As for the person who was watching her, it seemed that she could not tell whether that was an enemyor a friend. If there was any following action that was disadvantageous to her, she had ways to replacethem.

She put the herbs back in the boxes and took out her phone to call her assistant, “Ryan, please cometo my house tomorrow. I have some herbs to take to the lab.”

“Okay, doctor.”

“Is the construction completed? When can we go to the lab?”

In order not to expose her, Philip specially built a new laboratory in Los Angeles for her and it was in acovert place. When she suddenly got these rare herbs today, she just couldn’t wait to use them todevelop new

drugs.

“It should be finished this week. I will inform you as soon as I get the notice.”

“Recently, the research and development of new drugs in Glory Group has come to a standstill. Wecouldn’t reach Mr. Johnson. The vice president just contacted me and asked if you can go to thecompany to direct

the development of new drugs. What do you think?” Ryan asked.

“Where has he been to? Couldn’t reach him?” Natalie poured herself a glass of water.

Was he dumped? Could Philip be hurt so badly? It reminded her of the embarrassment that no oneanswered

when she called him just now.

Natalie sighed, “I see. I’ll go when I’m free.”

She had planned to pay a visit when she got the news. After all, she was part of Glory….

At the same time, Julian parked the car at the door of the apartment. Niki got out of the car reluctantly.She pulled Julian’s sleeves and said, “Julian, you really don’t come in with me? Just have a rest. It’snot good for your health to work all the time.”

Julian pinched his nose, “There are really a lot of things to deal with in the company recently…”

Niki moved closer to Julian and drew circles with her fingers on the man’s pure black suit. “I don’t wantyou to

work so hard…”

Jullan lowered his head slightly and pulled the woman out of his arms. His tone was calm. “There aresome issues with the clinical trials. As the CEO of the company, I have to deal with these things.”

Seeing that Julian still insisted to leave, Niki blinked her eyes looked straight at the man in front of her.She said in a sweet voice, “Niki just wants to spend a little more time with you. You can’t even do thatfor me?”

Julian thought for a moment, and apparently he didn’t know what to do with the woman. So he lookedat Niki, who was pleading, and reluctantly compromised. “Then you could go to the company with me.”

? Um-mm well, although she wanted Julian to go upstairs with her, she could accept it if she could goto the

company with him. Maybe she could sleep in the lounge of the office with him.

“Okay,” Niki smiled brightly, “I promise I won’t disturb you.”

When the car arrived at the company, Niki followed Julian upstairs. It was her first time to come to theCEO’s

office.

Sitting at the desk, with one hand propping her chin, Niki looked at Julian who was carefully reading

documents in front of the desk. His features were almost perfect, almost like a Greek statue.

Looking at the man’s face, Niki thought of something. She stood up, made a cup of coffee and carefullyput it

on his desk. But for some reason, she failed to hold it steadily, and hot coffee spilled on her dress.

Niki exclaimed.

Hearing this, Julian stood up in a hurry and wiped his face with a tissue. “Why are you so careless? Areyou

hurt?”

“Julian, I didn’t mean to. I just wanted to make a cup of coffee for you. Please don’t blame me…” Nikishook

her head as she said, “it’s not hot… I brought you after I wait till it got cold.”

Julian didn’t know whether there were scalds so he was still a little worried. He stood up and picked upthe phone. “Ask the doctor to come to the office now.”

Niki shook her head, “It’s really nothing. There’s no need to be so troublesome. It’s just that my clotheswas in

a mess…”

Julian touched her head and picked up the phone again. “Bring a lady’s dress and I’ll text you the size.”

Not long after, the doctor came with a medical kit. When she saw Niki sitting on the chair, she wasconfused for a moment, but soon she returned to her usual look.

She carefully checked Niki’s body, and took out some ice cubes. “Mr. Graham, this lady is fine, andthere is no scald. Her skin is just a little red. If you are worried, we could use ice to make her feel

better.”

Niki nodded repeatedly. “Thank you, doctor. I told you that it was nothing serious but he insisted oncalling you…” As Niki spoke, she gave a coquettish glance at Julian.

Julian withdrew his gaze and said, “Leave the clothes here. You can go now.”

“Okay.” The doctor put down the dress and walked out of the office without looking sideways.

A woman who looked like Mrs. Graham appeared in the CEO’s office. And he called her here in such ahurry but this woman was clearly not hurt. The doctor thought to herself, ‘Is that Mr. Graham’s ex lover?

She had heard that Mrs. Graham was just a substitute, but she didn’t believe that such a beautifulwoman could be a substitute for someone?

But when she saw how the CEO treated this woman today, she finally believed it…….

Niki took the dress, glanced at Julian affectionately, who was already back to work. She then went intothe

lounge.

The sound of a woman changing clothes came from the lounge. Niki looked at herself in the mirror. Herhair was straggled on her shoulders. Under the pure white dress were her slim legs. She lookedinnocent and charming in this dress.

She looked at herself in the mirror and said slowly, “Julian, there’s something wrong. Can you come inand help me?”

The door opened and Julian walked in. He saw the woman with her shoulders exposed standing infront of the mirror, a little uneasy. Her flawless back was also exposed, and her smooth skin was

glowing under the

light.

“Julian, help me zip it up please. I can’t reach it…” Niki said in a trembling voice.

Julian’s hand swept over her dress, and zipped it for her slowly upward. When the man’s fingersaccidentally touched her sensitive spot on the back, the chemistry suddenly grew between them.

Niki felt more assured then. According to her plan, the timing was just right….

Without hesitation, Niki turned her head, closed her eyes, pulled the man over and kissed him.

But before her lips reached his…

Unexpectedly, there was a knock on the door, and the zipper just reached the top so the man gentlypushed

her away.

“Someone is here,” said Julian in a low voice. He didn’t know why he felt a little irritable in theambiguous

atmosphere?

After saying that, Julian walked out silently, leaving Niki stunned.
