Chapter 74: How are you still alive?

During lunch hour, Zaria waited for Desmond to leave his office, but after waiting for almost half an hour, she concluded that he would not go out for lunch. She thought about it and took a small box with her to his office.

"Haven't you gone to eat lunch?" He asked when he saw her since she always had her lunch at the employee cafeteria.

"I already did." She lied, but the truth was that she was waiting for him the entire time, and it was probably already too late. Most of the delicious food would be sold out by the time she went there.

The man's gaze trailed down to the small box in her hand and wondered what she was carrying. He observed that it must be a gift box and his lips curled into a smile. Did she bring him a present?

"Did you need something?" He asked, his voice gentler than it had ever been.
