Hera heard footsteps and instinctively opened her eyes. Her eyes widened the next second as her entire face flushed. She covered her eyes and screamed, âAh! Pervert!â
Nash really came out nude. Did he not know how to grab a towel?
âI asked you to get it for me, but you didnât want to.â Nash smiled playfully before glancing at the incoming call display. He was surprised to see that it was from Fabian.
âHello, Fabian,â Nash greeted warmly.
There was a moment of silence from the other end with only some little cheers from the fox echoing in the back.
Fabian took a deep breath and replied, âThe Jonesville branchâs performance is currently at the bottom. From what Frankie told me, there are too many troublemakers there. If you have the time, please go deal with it.
âThe branch can only continue to operate if their performance improves.â
Was this man ordering him around? He was the president of Universal Foundation.
Nash wanted to roll his eyes but still responded with a smile, âAlright, Iâll report there tomorrow.â
His grandfather had founded Universal Group, after all. The company had set up numerous subsidiaries across Drakonia with the aim of boosting the economy of multiple regions. It also presented the opportunity for Nash to deal with those who had wronged Hera.
âYou need to be mindful of your approach. There are quite a few people in the Jonesville branch who are from the Ten Families,â Fabian reminded him before ending the call.
Nash placed his phone on the bedside table and sat down on the bed.
âY-You need to put on some pants,â Hera said, still covering her face. The blush had now reached down to her neck. She had wanted to consummate her relationship with Nash the night before, but it had been night then and she had planned for Nash to turn off the lights.
However, it was now daytime, and Nash was standing right there without a stitch of clothing. She felt incredibly embarrassed, her blush intensifying.
Nash lifted the blanket and crawled under it, embracing Hera. He smiled softly and said, âHow about we pick up where we left off last night?â
âI-Iâm really not in the mood right now,â Hera replied. âWith everything happening at the company, I havenât had a momentâs rest since yesterday morning. Iâm tired and sleepy now.â
Nash let go of her, seeing as Hera was pouting as she spoke.
âAlright, I can spare you for today,â Nash said, looking at Heraâs adorable yet pitiful expression. He could not help but smile.
Hera felt the warmth radiating from him and instinctively moved back. Nash lay flat on the bed and said, âGet some rest. I havenât had a good nightâs sleep in a long time either.â
Hera clutched the blanket. She did not even dare to hug Nash to sleep, afraid that the naked
man might suddenly lose control.
Hera was curious about Nashâs conversation over the phone earlier and could not help but ask, âBy the way, who called you just now? Where do you need to report?â
âI found a job at Universal Group. The HR department asked me to start work tomorrow.â
âFound a job? Why do you still need a job? Besides, youâre already working as a security manager in my company!
âOh, I get it. You just donât want to work with me!â
Hera left some words unsaid. Nash must have gotten the job at Universal Group with Melodyâs help. He would likely be commuting to work with Melody in the future. Even though she trusted Nash, she could not help but feel a bit jealous.
