When Michelle opened her eyes the next morning, she found herself lying in bed.

She sat up, puzzled. She remembered working too late the night before and falling asleep at her desk. How had she ended up waking up in bed?

The only possible explanation was that Nathan had carried her here. The space beside her was already empty, so he must have gone to the company.

Michelle pulled out her phone. She nearly had a heart attack when she saw the time. It was already eight o'clock!

She couldn't believe that she had actually slept until eight in the morning.

She would usually wake up a little after six, go for a morning run, then have some coffee and breakfast before starting work. But she woke up at eight today.

What was going on with her? Was she becoming a chronic oversleeper?

Just then, her phone rang. It was Janet calling, so Michelle pressed the button to answer. "Hello."

"Ms. Landon, why aren't you at work yet? That's not like you at all! Did you and Mr. Lynch stay up too late having fun last night?" Janet teased.

Michelle had no response. Nothing had happened between her and Nathan last night. In fact, he was still upset with her.

She had to fix things between them.

Michelle said, "I'm not going to work today."

"Why not?"

"I'm going to spend the day with my husband!"

Hearing that, Janet was over the moon. "You've changed, Ms. Landon. I can't believe you're actually putting personal matters before work! Don't worry—I'll handle everything!"

Michelle hung up. She rarely took time off, but she had to take a day off now for Nathan's sake. Since he'd claimed that she was always cold toward him during the day, she thought she'd show him some affection today.

Michelle went downstairs and entered the dining room.

Rosa greeted her. "Michelle, you're awake! Come have some breakfast."

Michelle sat down. "Rosa, when did Nathan leave?"

Rosa said, "He went to the company at seven this morning. He also said you were sleeping, so he told me not to go up and disturb you."

Michelle was quite surprised to hear that. She took a sip of milk. "Rosa, could you make some soup later? I want to bring it to the Lynch Group."

Rosa immediately knew what

Michelle wanted. "You want to bring Nathara homemade lunch, don't you? I get on it right away Mr. Lynch Senior would be thrilled to see how lovey-dovey you two are now!"

Michelle smiled and said, "Tell him I'll give him a grandchild soon. I promise!"

Rosa adored Michelle. With emotional intelligence like hers and such a sweet way

with words, there was hardly anyone who wouldn't love Michelle.

An hour later, Michelle arrived at Lynch Group.

It was her first time here. Even though she knew how wealthy the Lynch family was, she was still a little stunned seeing how tall their building was. It was literally piercing into the clouds.

Holding a thermos, Michelle went inside.

The receptionist spotted her right away. Michelle had always been a natural beauty. Today, she wore a black trench coat and high heels, Her silky, long hair was also swept up in an elegant style.

Looking so stylish and alluring, anyone who walked past Michelle couldn't get their eyes off her.

The receptionist hurried over and said warmly, "Hello, how may I help you?"

Michelle replied, "Hi, I'm here to see your Mr. Lynch."

The receptionist then asked, "Do you have an appointment? You would need an appointment to see Mr. Lynch."
