Chapter 225: Won
He turned his gaze to her once again and noticed that she was stirring, she was almost about to tilt over when she jolted awake.
"You sleep like a baby," He whispered humorously, but he was not smiling, she noticed.
"Sir, you’re awake," She replied in a high pitched voice. She was obviously uncomfortable in the current situation that she was in. She looked at the arm rest of her chair and remembered what she’d done.
"Oh, I’m really sorry sir, I wanted to keep an eye on you but I could not move the chairs at the other side. This had wheels so I –"
"I understand," came his immediate reply, cutting her short. "You did a great job."
Now, he was teasing. She thought to herself as her stomach formed knots.
"Um, sir, is there anything I can do for you?" She asked him, clearly eager to be out of his presence. He squinted his gaze while he beheld her. It was obvious to him that she liked him, he knew that. But her wanting to leave belied everything that he thought was on her mind about him. If a lady liked a man, she’d want to be in his presence most of the time. So, why did she want to leave?

He needed a way to get to her, a way to feel her, but her boundaries were clear – and if there was anything he respected, it was boundaries.
