Chapter 39: Sean
"Master Adam..." Xu Lin calls Adam’s name as she sees him standing before her with plates in his hand.
"Master Adam, you should have left the plates at the table. I would have collected them myself," Xu Lin says, approaches Adam and takes the plates off his hands.
"Well, the breakfast was delicious, so I had to personally come and praise the chef," Adam says, and walks up to Xu Lin, who has her back turned to him as she puts the plates in the sink.
She turns around and finds Amon standing right before her, startling her a little.
"No need to thank me, Master. It’s my job..." Xu Lin says, blushing.
"And for a job well done, you should receive your flowers," Adam says, grabs her chin with his thumb and index finger, raises her head up, leans in and gives her a peck on her lips before pulling away.
An explosion goes off inside Xu Lin’s head from Adam’s action. Though it’s just a small peck on her lips, it’s still a very bold action for a girl who has so very little experience, like Xu Lin.
Her face turns as red as a tomato, while her heart is beating over a hundred miles a minute.
Her eyes flicker as she looks up at Adam’s charismatic smile and gentle, beautiful eyes. She is falling in love with Adam.
"Do you like your reward?" Adam asks with a gentle tone.
Xu Lin, shy and unable to speak, lowers her head, causing Adam to chuckle. "I will take that as a yes. Keep doing good work, and there will be more rewards for you in the future," Adam says, patting her head and walking away.
