Rosanna was gone, after all.
And Tilda had no desire to ruin the moment.
As she gazed at Lyndons handsome face, a warm surge of happiness washed over her.
Maybe he did love her, even if only a little.
Though he might not love her as deeply as he once loved Rosanna, he still cared for her.
That thought alone made her heart flutter.
Feeling an unexpected wave of joy, she gently tilted her head and pressed a soft kiss to the corner of his mouth.
Lyndon blinked, clearly surprised by her sudden affection. I seem to recall someone once saying that only those whove done something wrong are this gentle and considerate, he teased, his tone playful.
So, have you been up to something behind my back? Tilda was rendered speechless.
He really did have a sharp memory, using her own past words to counter her now.
Without saying a word, she cupped his face in her hands and kissed him again, this time on his lips, silencing him.
Stop joking around, she scolded lightly.
Were discussing something serious right now! Lyndons voice dropped to a husky whisper, his tone laced with desire.
Why do I get the feeling that youre less interested in serious matters and more interested in getting close to me? Tilda burst into laughter.
Alright, back to the point.
He said the company is pressuring him, and if this deal falls through, he might be demoted⦠She intentionally left out the part where Keanu suggested she divorce Lyndon, fearing that it might upset Lyndon.
Lyndons eyes darkened as he stared into hers, a hint of frustration lacing his voice.
Do you feel sorry for him? No, its not that, she replied quickly.
Its just⦠he saved my life in that dangerous situation before, and I feel like I owe him.
She hesitated for a moment, then continued, But, of course, its your decision.
If you dont want to work with N.C, I completely understand.
If he really does get demoted, Ill help him find another job with current pay and benefits. Lyndon paused for a moment.
When Keanu came to see me, I told him N.C isnt a trustworthy company.
I even offered to write him a recommendation letter if he wanted to resign.
A glimmer of surprise sparked in Tildas eyes.
After a moment of silence, she asked, He doesnt plan to leave, does he? Lyndon shook his head slightly.
No.
It seems he doesnt want to feel like he owes me anything.
