Chapter 706:
After freshening up, I rushed downstairs with my bag.
At that moment, Miranda had already taken Lucas to kindergarten, and Gary was holding Lucky, feeding her breakfast. When Lucky saw me, she waved her little hands and sweetly called out, “Mom, mom.”
I walked over, lovingly touched her head, and smiled at Gary.
“Gary, is Lucky all right?”
“She’s fine,” he replied.
“Once she finishes her meal, I’ll give her the medicine, just as the family doctor advised.”
Gary replied, “She’s fine. I’ll feed her the medicine as per the family doctor’s instructions after she’s had breakfast.”
I nodded and said, “Then please take care of Lucky for me. I’m already late for work. I have to go now!”
Gary frowned as he glanced at the breakfast on the table.
“You haven’t had breakfast yet.”
I turned to leave.
“I’m already late!”
Just as I reached the entrance, Gary suddenly called out to me.

“Ah?”
I turned to look at him, frowning, thinking there was something wrong. But Gary smiled and looked me over.
“Miss Stepanek, you look beautiful today.”
I felt a little embarrassed and blushed, then touched my hair and said, “Thank you!”
With that, I turned and hurried out.
By the time I reached Stephen Firm, it was nearly 10 o’clock.
Sitting at my desk, I couldn’t help but feel regret.
“I’ve never been late since I started working here.”
I leaned back in my chair, feeling both exhausted and hungry.
It had been an intense night. How could I not be hungry? But it was already 10 o’clock, so I’d have to wait until lunch.
Knock… Knock… Knock…
Someone knocked on my door. I straightened up and called, “Come in!”
The door opened, and my colleague, Linia, walked in.
She placed a takeout bag on my desk and smiled.
“Bella, this is the breakfast the delivery guy just brought you.”
I frowned, glancing at the takeout.
“I didn’t order breakfast.”
Linia whispered, “It’s probably from your admirer. Maybe he’s worried you didn’t have breakfast.”
