Cutting her off, Jason inched closer and grabbed her both her hands. "Listen to me Elizabeth, I am not here to deal with your tantrums. Trust me, I have important things to do. I am here to recover the files for you which I had wiped out by mistake. I have been feeling super guilty over whatever happened and I swear I will leave as soon as I am done."

Inching closer, he tucked a strand of hair which was falling on her face behind her ear. He could feel the softness of her skin when his fingertips brushed against her skin. Her eyes were light brown in color and her cheeks were red but what caught Jason's attention were her lilac soft lips which were slightly parted apart. ​​

Looking straight into her eyes, he assured her, "I will leave as soon as I am done."

With his face just inches away from hers, she could feel his warm breath against her cheeks. She couldn't take her eyes off his pitch black eyes which were drilling into hers. He was nothing like she had imagined��a nerd. In fact, he was much more handsome than she had pictured him.

Her heart beat increased when his fingers slightly brushed against her cheeks and her heart skipped a beat when he tucked a strand of hair behind her ear.

The initial anger she was feeling quickly dissipated. "There is no use trying, I have been trying to recover it for so many days."

Tightening his grip around her hand, he smiled, "Maybe I'll try harder." Inching closer, he asked, "Elizabeth, can I touch your computer?" When she nodded her head in approval, he let go off her hands and made his way towards the screen.

Settling on the chair, he instructed, "Pass me the mousepad please."

Taking a deep breath to calm her wildly beating heart down, she grabbed the pad from the floor and gave it to him.

...

Workout room.

Looking around, Linhou smiled, "This room is cute."

"Hey, I know it's smaller than the one you work out in but it's nice and cozy. Don't make fun of my room like that," Kiara frowned.

Taking off his jacket, he stated, "I am not making fun of it." Tossing it aside, he added, "I am just saying that this much space is enough for us to fight."

Raising her brows, she inquired, "Fight? Are you serious?"

"Uh huh, why? Are you scared?" he inquired before tapping the tip of her nose.

"Don't touch my nose," she remarked.

Tapping it again, he smirked, "Then stop me."

Grabbing his wrist, she smiled, "You really wanna do it?"

Rotating his wrist, he grabbed her hand and lightly twisted it around until her back touched his chest. Brushing his lips against her earlobe, he smirked, "I have never been so excited about anything in my entire life."

"You asked for it." She then slammed the back of her head against his face and pushed him away.

Wiping the blood from the corner of his lips, he chuckled, "Great move, you just caught me off guard which is really very rare."

"I have a feeling that I will catch you off guard many times tonight." Taking her sweatshirt off, she revealed her black and red sports bra, making Linhou widened his eyes in shock.

"Hey this is cheating, you are using your assets to distract me," he complained.

"This isn't against the rules, is it?" she asked before throwing a high kick at him.

Blocking the sudden throw with his arm, he chuckled, "Alright but don't blame me for what happens after the fight."

"You talk too much." She stated before throwing a punch at him which was immediately blocked by his other arm.

"I don't usually say this but your strength is quite good, I really like it." Pushing her away, he trapped her in between his arms. "But your speed is a bit questionable. Don't worry, we can work on that together."

Freeing herself from his grasp, she threw multiple punches and kicks at him. Each punch and kick was strong and powerful which made Linhou almost stumble.

Swiftly blocking each of them, he grabbed her both her fist in between his palm and pulled her closer before pinning her against the wall. Tightening his grip around her waist, he smiled, "You fight great."

Kiara tried to push him away but couldn't. She was completely trapped in between his arms and there was nothing she could do.

Pressing his forehead against hers, he gently brushed his lips against hers. "Let's relive that moment but this time there will be no one to disturb us."

When he lifted her up, she wrapped her legs around his waist and pressed her lips against his.

…..

Elizabeth's room.

While Kiara and Linhou for reliving their first moment together, Elizabeth was busy admiring Jason's stern handsome work face even though she didn't want to. Looking at his fingers which were continuous being slammed against the keyboard, she slapped her own forehead and cursed herself for having a corrupt mind.

"Which was the file that had the photos?" he asked without taking his eyes off the screen.

"It's under the folder named 'family'," she answered.

"Do you want to recover everything or just that file?"

"Everything, there are many important things which I lost."

Pressing the 'ENTER' button, he sighed, "It's done, the recovery time is an hour so you have to wait," he informed.

Widening her eyes in shock, she snapped, "Wait what? You managed to recover everything?" Looking at the screen, she curiously inquired, "How?"

Shrugging his shoulder, he smiled, "I told you I'll work harder." Getting up from the seat, he stretched his body and cracked his knuckles. "That wasn't easy though."

Biting her lower lip, she hesitated for a while before saying, "Sorry for being so rude to you in the beginning and thank you for helping me get them back."

"It's alright, I was the one who erased it so it was my duty to make it right as well."
