Just as Felicity was about to text him back, she suddenly felt eyes on her.
Looking up, she met Miles's prating gaze.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Does he alwayse to you for help?" "Occasionally." "Tell him to send the data my way next time. I'll find someone to sort it out for him." That way, Calvin wouldn't always use this as an excuse to cozy up to Felicity.
At first, she didn't catch the underlying tone, thinking Miles was just concerned she'd overwork herself, "No need, it's not that hard. I can whip it up during a coffee break." "And if he keepsing to you? You're just going to keep helping?" It was then Felicity tasted the jealousy.
Her eyebrows arching slightly, she offered a dismissive smile, creating a metaphorical space between them, "You're being overly concerned." Miles, dissatisfied, stepped forward, grabbing her wrist, "Felicity, last night you said you'd givea month..." "I did say that." "So what am I to you now?" Felicity pondered for a moment, "A boyfriend on probation." || || He clenched his teeth, his jawline flexing visibly.
A boyfriend on probation, indeed! His jealousy suddenly seemed entirely unreasonable.
"And what about Calvin? Does he get a probation period too?" Felicity paused, instinctively starting to clarify her relationship with Calvin, that she had never intended to take things any further.
But the words stopped short of escaping, her lips curving instead, "Who knows what the future holds?" || || "Still up for breakfast? If not, I'm heading out." Miles pressed his lips together tightly, eyes fixed on the Whatconversation with Calvin on her phone, "Yes, let's eat." Felicity spent the morning buried in work on herputer.
Keeping busy meant less tto dwell on unpleasant thoughts.
As noon approached, her phone buzzed on the desk.

Thanks a ton for the data! To repay you, I've got a surprise! Just as Felicity was about to inquire about the surprise, someone outside the office called her name.
She got up and walked out, only to see a delivery guy holding a large bouquet of roses, "These are for Felicity." || ...
Felicity blanked for a second, then remembered Calvin's mention of a "surprise".
She took the flowers, "Thank you." Back in her office, she im called vin, "Have you lost y mind? Roses? I'd have preferred a couple of boxes of cookies. en.kikistories "There are plenty of cookies at home, but no roses! I saw these while meeting a client, thought they were as beautiful as you, couldn't resist!" en.kikistories Felicity was used to his slick talk, "Tone it down, don't think I don't know what you're up to." "Hey, everyone appreciates beau So, it's okay for that Langston to chase you all the way to Anglonia, but can't send flowers to your office?" en.kikistories || ." Felicity could never win an argument with Calvin.
After a brief chat, she hung up and placed the roses in a corner of her office.
But the red was too conspicuous, catching her eye even in her peripheral vision. Feeling it was distracting, she stood up with the intention to move it out of sight.
Just then, her gaze landed on a presence even more imposing than the bouquet... a person. "Really love those flowers, huh? Can't seem to let them go."
