Shakira felt goosebumps erupt all over her body. Her mind was facing, overwhelmed by the sudden impact. It was as if her head was stuffed with cotton, leaving her momentarily unsure of how to respond to Walter's abrupt approach. However, Walter didn't give her much time to think before continuing. "No need, Brian just sent me the location. I'm heading over now,"

Shakira thought, 'Right now? The entrance to the hospital was jus a quick step down to the next floor! There was no time to hesitate. Shakira quickly hung up the phone, signaling Director Kevin that she needed to leave first. Kevin understood and nodded at her.

Shakira headed straight downstairs but paused after a few steps, as a thought crossed her mind. She took a moment to contemplate before turning around and heading towards the terrace on the second floor.

Felix, confused, followed her. "Dr. Lonely Bird, where are you going? My car is downstairs; do you want me to give you a ride

Before he could finish, Lonely Bird glanced back at him, then walked to the terrace. With her left hand resting on the railing. she leaped up and, amid a chorus of gasps, effortlessly jumped down.

Felix felt his heart skip a beat. "Dr. Lonely Bird!" he shouted as he dashed to the railing, and watched as Lonely Bird jumped down from the second floor, landing deftly on the staggered rooftops before swiftly disappearing into the night. Felix stood there, staring fixedly, not blinking, until she disappeared from view entirely.

He remained lost in thought, feeling a strong thumping in his chest, as if something inside his heart was violently colliding with his body. It was wild, intense, and unlike anything he had ever experienced. Thump, thump-his heart raced uncontrollably! Yvette covered her mouth as she approached. "Oh my gosh, Felix, did you see that? Dr. Lonely Bird just jumped right off the second floor!"

"I saw it." Felix swallowed, his voice suddenly turning husky.

Yvette noticed his change, seeming to realize something, and teased with a grin. "Felix, have you fallen for Dr. Lonely Bird?"

Felix shook his head, unsure of himself. He had never liked anyone before, so he didn't know what it felt like. But he was certain of one thing, 'It was only when he was close to Lonely Bird that he experienced this unprecedented fluttering sensation!. Shakira dashed into the nearest public restroom at lightning speed, and in less than half a minute, she hurried out again. As she looped back to the canteen entrance, a familiar Cullinan had just arrived.

'Oh my gosh, I made it just in time! Shakira felt relieved.

In the car, Walter had just pressed the button to open the automatic door when someone suddenly jumped into the seat beside him. He turned to look, and who else could it be but his own Shakira?

Seeing her flushed cheeks and her heavy breathing, as if she had just engaged in intense exercise, Walter couldn't help but chuckle. "In such a hurry to see me?"

Shakira took a deep breath, trying to calm her breathing, and flashed a big, toothy grin. "Yep, a day without you feels like three years!"

Walter tapped her gently on the forehead, "Smooth talker." He closed the car door again, and the Cullinan slowly drove out of Haruca Hospital.

Not far away, Sean had sneaked over to check if his boss had been bullied today. He just happened to catch the scene unfold. He watched in disbelief as the car door opened, but before anyone could get out, Shakira jumped right in!

The moment the car door closed, Sean felt like he could explode from frustration! 'He was just a second too late! If only Shakira's legs were a few centimeters shorter, he would have definitely seen what that man looked like!' he thought. "No way! This was like the umpteenth time he had encountered this situation. If he didn't get to see that man today, he would write his name Sean backward!' he was determined.

Without wasting any time, he quickly followed the Cullinan as started moving.

In the end, Walter packed up some delicious food for her-roasted beefsteaks. Greasy and crispy, Shakira devoured two pieces of beefsteak right in the car, savoring every bite. After finishing, she licked her lips, clearly wanting more. Walter gave her a napkin to wipe the grease of her lips and asked. "Was it good?"

"Yeah, the roasting was just right, super crispy and tender!" said Shakira.

He nodded and instructed Brian, who was driving, "Have Levi bring the chef back."

Brian calmly replied, "Yes, Mr. Lopez."

Shakira was shocked and speechless, What the hell? Who orders a chef just because they think the food is good?

There are only a few people at home; how many dishes can they possibly eat? As expected, it's the evil capitalists, completely disrespecting the value of money!

Shakira softly expressed her disagreement. "Isn't bringing a chel home a bit excessive?"

"What are you thinking?" Walter flicked her forehead. "Next month's annual meeting, the company has decided to go to Silverwave Bay for a vacation. We'll invite a few chefs to handle the dinner for the event.",

Shakira exclaimed, "Oh, I see. That's what it's about."

Speaking of the annual meeting, Walter added, "We'll be there from December 23rd to the 28th for five days. If you want to invite some friends to join us, feel free"

Shakira quietly noted the date. So, Walter's birthday would be celebrated there? She thought about it and said, "I'll check with Xanthe if she's available."

Walter nodded in agreement, but noticing that she seemed a bit lost in thought, he suddenly switched back to the previous topic. "What? Did you think I was going to bring the chef home to cook?"

Shakira snapped back to reality, scratched her cheek, and indignantly said, "Your words earlier could be misleading!" "Dream on." Walter chuckled with a big grin. "Don't think you can get out of cooking just because you want to be lazy Shakira clenched her fist and shook it angrily. "Of course not! I keep my promises and won't go back on my word!" "So, are you saying I have wronged your sincere heart?" Walfer asked with a teasing sinile.

She haughtily lifted her chin. "Mumm-hmm!"RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

"Since that's the case, do I need to make it up

your wounded tle heart?" asked Walter

Her chin went even higher, full of pride. "Mumm-hmmm!"

Walter couldn't help but be amused by her playful expression as if she wanted to show off. With a playful grip on her chin, he leaned in closer, making sure the compensation was immediate.

After Walter's relentless supervision and practice, Shakira was now able to embrace the sudden intimacy without hesitation.

Shakira thought to herself. "Eating pigeons and Walter-tonight feast is quite nice!

After their intimate moment, the two snuggled together, with Shakira leaning on Walter's shoulder. She sent a message to Xanthe about the upcoming annual meeting.

Xanthe: [Oh, please, I'll definitely join you!]

Shakira chuckled and snuck a peek at Walter, seeing him looking out the window. She texted back at Xanthe. [What's a good birthday gift for a guy?]

Xanthe guessed it right away. [Wow! Is it for Mr. Lopez's birthday?]

Shakira: [Yep.]

Xanthe: [Mr. Lopez has plenty of money, but gifts need to hit the right spot. Do you know what Mr. Lopez likes?]

What does Walter like? He used to enjoy playfully pinching her neck, and now he likes kissing her-does that count?" Shakira pondered, 'She needed to find a way to tease some clues out of Walter

On the way back to Eastlake Valley Estate from Haruca Hospital, they passed by Central Amusement Park. The towering and colorful Ferris wheel stands proudly at the city's center, looking beautiful and romantic. Shakira's gaze drifted toward the Ferris wheel, and suddenly an idea struck her. "Stop the cart" She eagerly tugged at Walter, "Let's go ride the Ferris wheel!"

The Cullinan suddenly came to a halt, startling Sean, who quickly hit the brakes as well. He wiped the sweat from his brow as he watched Shakira bounce out of the car and head to the other side to open the door. Sean's eyes widened, eagerly craning his neck to see ahead-
