Her eyes welled up with tears as Jefferson suddenly embraced her. For some reason, every time he hugged her, she felt incredibly comfortable. Hearing the perfectionist CEO's desperate voice tell her not to leave broke her heart a little. Was she being cruel to this handsome CEO for giving him this bad news so suddenly?
She turned off the stove for a moment and released the gentle touch. However, the handsome CEO continued to cling to her tightly, making her breath even more labored.
"Jeff, let go of me."
"Let me hold you for a moment."
"If Larissa sees you like this, she will definitely misunderstand."
"Larissa isn't here. Why did you suddenly bring up her name?"
Her head was lowered as she stared at the strong arms embracing her now, like a husband embracing his wife in the morning. Of course, she wouldn't let Jefferson hold her for too long. She didn't want him to get too comfortable with her, which would cause a rift between them.
