Chapter 260 Jessica, Close Your Eyes
As soon as Gabriel finished speaking, Jessica heard footsteps.
And those footsteps were getting closer and closer.
Thinking someone was coming, Jessica's heart started pounding wildly. She reached out to pull him and anxiously said, "Come closer."
Maybe Jessica used too much force, and Gabriel cooperated so well that he almost took a big step forward on his own.
As a result, she stumbled backward a step.
At the same time, Gabriel lunged forward.
Suddenly, the door behind them was pushed open, and they both fell inside.
Jessica was startled, but thinking that her colleagues were not far away, she gritted her teeth and held back.
Finally, they landed with a thud.
Jessica's back was against a wall, and Gabriel was almost pressing against her, closely sticking to her.
They were too close, and Jessica's cheeks immediately felt a bit warm. She gently pushed him and said, "Move a little; let me take a breath."
A low, husky laugh came from the room. "Jessica, are you so eager to have me being so close?"
Blushing at his teasing, Jessica immediately denied, "No, I'm not. Don't talk nonsense.
"It was just an accident. I just wanted to pull you away from my colleagues, afraid they'd find out."
Gabriel frowned. "Am I so unpresentable that you're afraid your colleagues will find out?"
"Anyway you're so noticeable and have such a sensitive identity. I don't want to be the subject of everyone's gossip." she explained.
Originally, she wanted to hide him so much that he should have been angry.
But he wasn't. Instead, he leaned down, his thin lips gently approaching Jessica's ear, his voice low and filled with ambiguity. "So Jessica, do you think we're hiding a relationship?"
Hearing this, she was so scared that she immediately covered his lips. "Don't talk nonsense."
She felt a bit embarrassed and didn't dare to say it out loud.
The afternoon sun was still quite bright.
The room was bathed in a layer of golden light, looking particularly beautiful.
As the wind blew, the white curtains fluttered, gently brushing against the two of them.
Gabriel was pressing closely against Jessica, one hand propped against the wall, the other hanging by his side, exuding a domineering CEO vibe.
A low chuckle escaped his throat, and he lowered his head, leaning in close to Jessica again.
But this time, when he saw her delicate, fair earlobe turning slightly red, he immediately curled his lips, a deep smile spreading across his face.
He leaned in, his soft red lips deliberately brushing against her small earlobe.
Sure enough, she shivered as if she had been electrocuted.
He brushed his lips against her earlobe again, deliberately saying, "Jessica, but I think we do look like we're hiding a relationship right now."
His words made her cheeks burn even more.
And he was so close to her, Jessica felt like she was frozen, unable to think.
Her brain completely stopped working.
The afternoon sun was no longer as glaring as at noon, instead appearing softer.
When a ray of sunlight fell on the two of them, illuminating Jessica's gentle and beautiful face, Gabriel couldn't help but be mesmerized by it.
His Jessica was so beautiful!
She was so beautiful that he couldn't control himself at all.
"Jessica, close your eyes." When a certain thought entered his mind, Gabriel spoke.
She was stunned for a moment.
He spoke again, "Listen to me; close your eyes."
Listening to his command, she gently closed her eyes.
Gabriel was not in a hurry, a stark contrast to the urgency and frenzy of the morning.
This time, he was very slow.
He was also very patient.
His handsome face got closer and closer. He was as tender as a gentleman.
Just as his lips were about to kiss her, suddenly, there was a noise from somewhere.
Jessica immediately snapped out of it, quickly opened her eyes, and pushed Gabriel, "Let go of me first. it's a bit hot being squeezed."
Gabriel didn't say anything, just looking at her with deep eyes. There was like a fire burning in his gaze.
Seeing he didn't respond, Jessica pushed him again, "You're too close; move back a bit."
His dark eyes looked at her, rolling, calming.
Rolling again, then calming.
Then he let go of his hand and took a step back.
But he didn't completely let go of her. He just gave her a bit more space.
"Is it easier to breathe now?" Gabriel asked.
Jessica suspected he was doing it on purpose. He was so smart. How could he not know what she meant by "can't breathe"?
He was just pretending to be dumb.
At the same time, he looked around the room, changing the subject. "Why is this room empty?"
"This was originally a single room, but because of the increase in patients, it was going to be converted into a triple room. It was just about to be renovated, and the things inside were just moved out, so it's empty now." As Jessica spoke of this, her heart skipped a beat.
Fortunately, this place was being renovated. If there had been patients living here, the way she and he had just fallen in would have been too embarrassing to even think about.
"Let go of me first. I have to go back to work; I can't stay out too long," Jessica said.
"I had Oscar tell your colleagues to cover for you a bit longer," he said.
"That's not good, they have their own work too." She still wanted to leave now.
Gabriel raised an eyebrow. "Do you think I have too much money to spend, or that I'm a big philanthropist, so I provide your colleagues with food and drink every day, taking care of them in every way?"
Jessica didn't say anything.
Gabriel continued, "Isn't it just to give them some benefits so they can take care of you more?"
"Thank you for your kindness, but you're spending too much money. I know the things you send are not cheap, the fruits you pick are all the best, but it puts a lot of pressure on me," she said.
"What pressure do you have?" Gabriel was puzzled.
"Everyone thinks it's my boyfriend sending them, saying they want to thank him, and a few times they joked about wanting to meet him." Jessica didn't hide it and told the truth.
Gabriel curled his lips, a faint smile on his face. "That's simple. I'll arrange it right away."
