Genius Kids' Scheme Claiming Daddy's Billionaire Empire novel Chapter 250

Chapter 250

Ready to start? Adam asked.

Irene kept fiddling with her equipment, not looking up. The evening un made everything in the room glow gold. The flower shed given him was in a water glass on his desk–adding some color to his plain office.

As she plugged in the last wire, a dizzy spell hit her. Her hand shool little–leftover from the Little Bell emergency. Working non- stop for twelve hours had wiped her out more than she wanted to admit.

Adam noticed her sway right away. “Hey. You okay?”

“I’m fine, she answered too fast, not even convincing herself.

“Sure you are.” His tone said he didn’t believe her. “Because totally fe people almost fall over standing still.”

He was being sarcastic, but his eyes showed he was worried. Irene straightened up, trying to look professional.

During the treatment, Adam watched her rub her temples and noticed the dark circles under her eyes getting worse. When they finished, she packed up like a robot, moving slower than normal.

“Here, he said, offering her a hot cup.

Trene raised an eyebrow but took it. The cup warmed her hands, and she liked the herbal smell. “What is this?”

“Special recipe. His lips almost smiled. “Just drink it.”

She tried a small sip, then took a bigger one. “Pretty good.”

Her fingers rubbed her neck, trying to work out a knot that had been bugging her for hours. Adam watched, then asked, “Want some help with that?”

Irene almost laughed. “You? Giving back rubs?”

“I’ve been watching you do this every day.” He held her gaze. “I pay attention.”

She was too tired to argue. “Okay. But if you mess up my neck, I’m holding you

responsible.”

She turned the chair around. When his hands touched her shoulders, she stiffened, then relaxed as his fingers found exactly the right spot.

“Wow,” she sighed as the pain melted away. “That actually feels good.

“Told you. I learn fast.” His voice was closer than she expected. “Too hard?”

“Mmm.” She couldn’t form words as his thumbs moved up her spine. Pretty decent for a beginner.”

“I’ll take that.” She could hear him smiling.

Adam watched her head slowly drop forward with each movement of his hands. Her breathing got slower and deeper. When her head finally rested against his leg, he froze, not sure what to do.

Irene was fast asleep. The tough doctor who never backed down from anyone was now breathing softly against his knee.

Something in his chest tightened. Carefully, he touched her halt, surised by how soft it felt. He knew he shouldn’t, but couldvi make himself stop.

The door opened quietly. Thomes peeked in, eyes widening at the scene.

Adam put a finger to his lips, then mouthed, “Get a blanket.”

When Thomas came back, Adam gently covered her. With a quick no, he sent his assistant away.

Moonlight streamed across the floor. Adam knew he should move he to the guest room or call for help. Instead, he sat still, watching her sleep, feeling strangely peaceful with her head resting gainst his leg.
