NovelUpdateJoshua's voice was rich and sultry, with a husky edge that made Allison's heart skip a beat. He was definitely
doing it on purpose. Allison's cheeks flushed, though it was more from irritation than anything else.
"How could you miss that massive shredder over there?" Allison snapped.
"Where?"
"Right there." Without thinking, Allison turned to point, and her lips accidentally brushed against Joshua's.
Surprised, she jumped up. "Joshua!"
He had leaned in just as she turned, making their lips meet.
Allison was fuming, "Can you stop fooling around? I'm really busy and don't have tfor your games."
Seeing she was genuinely upset, Joshua toned it down. He picked up the pile of discarded papers, his tone
soothing, "Don't be mad, Allison. | honestly didn't see it."
"Yeah, right!" Allison retorted, her face burning and her voice rising.
Joshua walked over to the shredder nearby, feeding the papers in a few sheets at a time. "Con, Allie, don't
be mad. How about | make it up to you with dinner at your favorite barbecue spot tonight?"
"No way!"
Just then, someone knocked at the door. Allison took a deep breath to calm herself before speaking, "Cin."
It was Watson, dressed sharply in a suit with gold-rimmed glasses, his eyes twinkling with amusement. "When

Allison wasn't in the mood for jokes. Her expression darkened, and her tone showed her annoyance, "Some
people just have too much free time."
Noticing her displeasure, Watson's playful demeanor softened, and he asked with concern, "Is something wrong?
Did something upset you?"
Before Allison could respond, Joshua cut in, "She's busy, and you're interrupting her work. How could she be
happy about that?"
Allison: ".."
Watson looked momentarily taken aback. "Should | leave then?"
"Yeah, maybe you should," Joshua waved him off dismissively.
"Can you stop causing trouble?" Allison directed her words at Joshua.
Joshua fell silent, standing there quietly, shredding papers.
Watson glanced between Allison and Joshua. Joshua met his gaze with a smile.
Suddenly, Watson noticed a smudge of red at the corner of Joshua's mouth. The color extended from his lower lip
diagonally towards his chin. Watson's eyes darkened. He looked up to meet Joshua's eyes, noticing the hint of
defiance and pride in them.
Lowering his gaze, Watson's tone lost its earlier warmth, "I'll let you get back to work, Allison."
With that, Watson turned and left. Joshua smirked and continued shredding.
Allison was puzzled, wondering what had caused Watson's sudden change in demeanor. She turned,
eyeing Joshua suspiciously. Thenet

a tune while shredding papers, every bit of him exuding contentment.
Allison stared at Joshua, trying to
