Edith sat on the sofa as she waited for Neil to handle a few more documents before they can head back together. 

A knock came at the door and a female in suit and skirt walked in after Neil permitted to enter. Her short hair was styled neatly and she was wearing purple rimmed glasses. In her hand was a small tray with a small teapot and teacups arranged nicely. The woman took a glance at Edith and stood straight beside the door.

"President Mo, the tea you asked."

Neil looked up and gestured towards the sofa set. "Just place them on the table."

The woman walked over to the table and cast another glance at Edith as she placed the tray down. When she stood up again, President Mo was already standing beside the sofa. 

"Edith, this is Secretary An Daisy. If you need anything and cannot find me or Assistant Shawn, you can look for Secretary An," Neil said. "Secretary An, this is Edith Qian, my girlfriend."

Secretary An was surprised at the introduction, but after recovering in a few seconds, she turned at Edith and nodded. "Miss Qian."

The secretary left after that brief introduction and Neil walked over to sit down beside Edith. He poured some tea into the cup and opened up the box of pastries that Edith had bought from across the street.

Edith propped her elbows on her thigh as she stared at the man who was drinking his tea in an elegant move. "Is it alright to tell your secretary about our relationship like that?"

"Why wouldn't it be alright?" Neil turned to the woman beside him. "We are dating. It was not like it is something shameful."

In fact, Neil would not mind if the people in the office knew that he was currently in a relationship. It would help him get rid of some trouble as well. But if rumors started to spread to his mother, then he would be in trouble. Neil was afraid that his mother would get a little too excited upon hearing this news and started to plan their wedding.

But he was not in a rush.

Marriage was an important matter for a woman, and Neil did not want his mother to scare Edith with her enthusiasm. Their relationship had just begun, but they have started living together. The least he could do was to court her properly and let her experience the sweetness of dating.

Edith heaved a sigh. "It's not that. I just thought that it would be troublesome for me if your admirers knew that you are taken. What if they come over and attack me?"

Neil thought about it for a while. "If anyone comes and bullies you, you can just come to me." He stretched his hand to pinch her cheek and said, "Don't worry. Secretary An will not gossip about us. Other than Assistant Shawn, Secretary An has been working for me for years. We can trust her."

Edith leaned her head on his shoulder and sat up again. 

"What's wrong?" Neil, who had wanted to put his arms around her was startled by her sudden movement.

"President Mo, aren't you supposed to working?" Her lips stretched up into a mischievous smile. "If my presence is distracting you, then I can leave first."

Neil wrapped his arms around her shoulder and buried his head in her neck. "I'm tired after looking at those documents. Let me stay here for a while and recharge my energy."

"Then what about Hazel?" 

"Nanny Ann will look over her."

"Darling, if Hazel heard your words, she would be upset."

Neil smiled but did not say anything. In fact, Hazel had once expressed her displeasure at him for stealing her time with her teacher. The little girl wanted to play around with Edith, but her uncle had taken her teacher out for a date.

In the end, Neil can only convince her that these were important steps if she wanted her teacher to turn into her auntie. Though Hazel was not happy, she can only let the matter go. She would rather have her teacher stay with her for a long time. 

Edith let out a chuckle when the man stayed quiet. 

Recently, this man loved to hug her and told her that he was recharging his energy. Seeing how he would sometimes act spoiled and sticky reminded her of Hazel.

The uncle and niece were definitely related. 

After staying in the same position for a while, her neck was starting to itch as his breathing tickled her. Edith bit at her lips and bear with that feeling a while longer. She raised her hand and started to move on his back, gently patting him.

Suddenly, he felt as if his tiredness had slowly disappeared.

Feeling her gentle touch, Neil started to close his eyes for a little bit. Although her action was like comforting a child, Neil found that having someone stroking and patting his back like this was quite comfortable. Perhaps it was this feeling that made a child stop crying after they were comforted this way.

Just as he was enjoying this special treatment, Neil felt the way Edith turned her face towards him before she planted a kiss on his temple. He froze for a few seconds and lifted his head off her shoulder. 

"What?" Edith blinked when she noticed that Neil has been staring at her for a while.

"I can charge up faster if you give me a kiss."

Edith watched as Neil raised a brow and slapped him on his chest. "Shameless!" Seeing the way he continued to stare at her, Edith leaned forward to give a peck at his lips. "Is that enough?"

His lips stretched up into a playful smile. "Of course, it's not enough." 

Before Edith could come up with a clever remark, the man had already closed the gap between them, pressing his lips against hers. His lips gently messaging against hers. His kisses were unhurried as if he wanted to properly savor her taste.

At first, Neil merely wanted to tease her. The kiss was supposed to be a short one. But, once Edith started to reciprocate his kisses, tasting her lips for mere seconds was no longer enough. He wanted to taste more and feel more.

His right hand moved to clasp at the back of her head, keeping her in place, while his left hand pressed on the sofa so that he would not crush his body against hers.

But her one move was slowly destroying his self-control. Edith placed both hands on his cheek and nibbled at his lower lips. Because she was tugging him closer, the softness of her chest was pressing against his. His throat rolled and Neil was slowly losing his mind.

None of them noticed when did Edith start to lean down on the sofa…

Sensing that Edith was starting to get breathless, Neil moved her lips to her cheek, then to her ears and then he moved lower to her neck.

A low whimper escaped her and they both froze. The sound startled them. Suddenly, they realized that their position was a little bit… wrong. 

Edith bit at her lower lips as she could not believe that she was able to make such a coquettish sound. She tried to catch up her breath and watched as Neil raised his head to look at her. Edith was stunned as she stared into his dark eyes. Her body froze realizing that she might be in deep trouble if she moved around.

After a while, Neil rested his forehead against hers and closed his eyes. He took a few deep breaths to calm down and whispered.. "Let me stay like this for a while."
