Chapter 306
After a few minutes, Orion finally let go of her.
Xanthea glanced down and unintentionally saw a large umbrella propped up high, and she froze. Her eyes slowly moved, and just as she was about to ask if he needed the bathroom, she heard him say hoarsely, “Come here and dry your hair”
“Okay.”
She let out a long sigh of relief, stepped out of the bathroom, and saw a cup of salted caramel macchiato on his desk. Her eyes lit up
instantly.
“Salted caramel macchiato?

With extra cream, my
She happily dashed over, her wide sleeves fluttering like a butterfly in search of nectar. She picked up the steaming cup and smiled at the man, “Orion, did you have someone get this for me?”
Seeing her open the lid, Orion’s voice deepened, “Put it down.”
“Huh?” Xanthea blinked, “Why?”
“You have a cold. You shouldn’t drink something so sweet”
“Then why did you have someone buy it? To tempt me?”
“I thought a shower might make you feel better.”
Xanthea. Did he think everyone had the same freaky superhuman recovery abilities as hirm?
The cup of hot macchiato warmed her hands, the lid half–open, releasing the sweet and refreshing scent of sea salt caramel, making her mouth water.
Xanthea couldn’t bear to put it down. She bit her tender lip and tried to negotiate, “How about I drink just half a cup? Just half!”
Seeing he was about to refuse, she walked over, gently tugging at the hem of his shirt, “Please? Just half
She raised her face slightly to look at him, her rosy lips pouting, her smiling eyes sparkling like stars, her innate charm making it impossible for Orion to resist.
He tilted his long eyes slightly, taking the macchiato from her hand, “One sip.”
“One sip? That’s too little! No, no, three sips!”
“Just three sips, please. Ori–Ori-”
Her coquettish calling him “On” over and over made his suppressed desires surge once again. His dark eyes narrowed, “If you keep calling this way, and it won’t just be the macchiato I’ll make you have.”
Xanthea choked, as if understanding his insinuation, shaking her head in panic.
“Sit down.
He took the hairdryer, turning on the warm air, and Xanthea compliantly sat on the sofa, curling her legs up and sipping her macchiato with delight
Queenie Marlowe’s tactic seemed pretty effective, but she was careful not to overdo it. She only liked sweet drinks, not salty ones, “Orion, how did you know I like salted caramel?”
“I saw you drink it before.”
“Back when we were on set?”
When they were little.
“Yeah”
The man hummed softly, his long fingers threading through her thick, wavy hair, carefully drying every strand as if handling a ram treasure
“Three sips already

Just as she was about to retort the sneezed. Feeling his hand pause, she quickly put down the coffee, I won’t drink it anymore There’s medicine in the cabinet. Take one later

“No macchiato and now I have to take medicine? How miserable can I be?”
“Who asked you to come in the rain?” Orion’s tone became serious. Xanthea looked a bit wronged, murmuring, “I wasn’t paying
attention.”
She truly hadn’t noticed. She had been so heartbroken that she didn’t even realize it was raining.
“Where did you run from?”
“Starlight Media.
“Don’t ever do that again.”
Orion gently kissed the top of her head, recalling how had appeared soaking wet and crying, breaking his heart.
Mhm.”
Why were you at Starlight Media?”
He noted the problem, and Xanthea lowered her head slightly, recalling everything that had just happened. Even the taste of the macchiato in her mouth faded.
