Chapter 357 Staying Up Late with You is Even More Exhausting
Two workers carrying trays passed by.
"These past few days, I can't even eat without working. I heard there's an inspection from the higher-ups. Do you think they'll fire us?"
"What's there to be afraid of? Mr. Morgan said if the factory fires us, he'll take us to the StellarWorks Inc. factory. They pay double what we get here."
"Can we really trust what Mr. Morgan says? Is it really that good?"
"Anyway, we trust Mr. Morgan. Following him won't be wrong!"
Karen slammed her utensils down, instantly losing her appetite, and made a move to get up.
Juniper grabbed her hand, "Don't be impulsive!"
When Magnus returned with water, he saw this scene.
He raised an eyebrow, "Did I come back at a bad time?"
Juniper quickly let go of Karen's hand.
Magnus twisted open the cap of the bottled water and handed it to Juniper.
Juniper took a sip and said, "StellarWorks Inc., that sounds familiar. Did you mention it to me before?"
Karen reminded her, "Last time, the Real Estate Jeremy deal was snatched from StellarWorks Inc. It looks like they're retaliating against us."
Juniper was puzzled, "Would they really plant a mole just to retaliate over a real estate deal? It doesn't seem worth it."
Karen said, "It could be a warning, but for now, we can only let them be arrogant for a while. Once I find workers to replace them, it'll be their turn to get out."
Seeing Juniper slightly distracted.
Magnus placed a chicken leg on Juniper's plate and gently tapped the edge with a spoon, "Don't get distracted while eating."
Juniper snapped back to reality and looked at the food on her plate, "I can't finish all this."
"Take your time."
His tone was calm but left no room for argument.
Juniper was stunned.
Did Magnus come to Skyville just to make sure she ate?
After the meal.
There was an hour for lunch break.
Magnus took Juniper from Karen and brought her back to the hotel for a nap.
As soon as they got to the room, Juniper was hugged from behind.
She struggled a bit, "I walked around the factory several times this morning, I'm covered in dust."
Magnus suggested, "How about a shower and then a nap?"
Juniper turned to face him, looking at him strangely, "You're not going to..."
She opened her right hand and made a squeeze gesture.
Magnus paused before he understood, grabbing her hand and teasing her on purpose, "If you're willing, I'd be happy to oblige."
He hadn't been fully satisfied that time in the early morning.
Juniper quickly escaped into the bathroom.
Her hand was still sore!
After a short shower, Juniper came out wearing a soft set of pajamas.
Magnus had already taken off his coat, removed his watch, and was standing by the table, examining a box of pills, "Why are you taking birth control pills?"
As soon as Juniper walked over, he pulled her into his arms.
She explained truthfully, "After the miscarriage, I take these to help repair the uterine lining."
Magnus paused noticeably, feeling a pang of heartache, "Your body hasn't fully recovered, and you're already working in Skyville. Juniper, I respect your decisions, but that doesn't mean I can completely ignore your health and let you work yourself to the bone."
Juniper looked up at him, "And what about you? Your vision hasn't fully recovered, and you drove alone on the highway to Skyville at dawn. Magnus, you're crazier than I am."
He leaned down, gently pressing his forehead against hers, and said word by word, "You can work regular hours, but no overtime for now."
Juniper, who had just had a miscarriage, wouldn't really risk her health for work, so she nodded, "Actually, working isn't that bad. It's not as exhausting as staying up all night with you."
He chuckled, "What did you say?"
Juniper looked into his deep, dark eyes, her face slightly flushed, "Staying up all night with you is more exhausting."
Magnus laughed softly and gently carried her to the bed.
Juniper was nestled in his arms, her right hand lifted to his lips for a kiss, "Go to bed early tonight, I won't bother you."
Juniper glared up at him, "And no taking off my pajamas tonight either."
Magnus held her cool hand and placed it back on his warm abs.
He leaned in close, his breath heavy against her ear, "Didn't you enjoy feeling my abs last night? You can touch me, but I can't touch you?"
