He is an apple, she likes to eat apples.

Throughout the process, Hellen didn't look at him at all. She was still the first to pick up the water bottle, and both of them stood up.

- Sorry, Mr. Nolan, I must have thought you had already taken it.

- There's no need to apologize. I haven't even had a chance to thank you, Ms. Hellen. Also, you called me rather formally. I thought I was meeting a colleague, not a friend. Just call me Nolan.

Hellen smiled brightly at him, perhaps the overly serious nature of his work also made him uncomfortable.

- Okay, just call me Hellen!

Nolan smiled and nodded. Her smile left him at a loss, and as he watched her walk away, he took a large gulp from the water bottle.

When Emma returned and saw everyone holding a water bottle, she didn't think much of it. She just took out a towel to wipe the sweat off Nolan’s forehead.

After a few hours on the field, everyone moved to the resort’s villa. Since the field was also part of the resort’s services, the transfer wasn’t too far, and the special vehicle arrived there quickly.

The villa, with its spacious outdoor area, was perfect for gatherings. Right in the middle was a swimming pool, and the summer heat in City C made Hellen want to dive in immediately.

That was just a thought because she was soon pulled upstairs by Emma.

- We’ll use this room to freshen up!

- Emma, aren’t you staying with your brother?

Hellen asked curiously. Emma smiled innocently at her.

- I’ve already showered and done my makeup for dinner. We’re not staying overnight, so there’s no need to share a room with him. Do you feel love has made you a bit silly?

- Oh, I'll shower first!

Actually, she was thinking about something else and not paying attention to this, as she was wondering how to approach Nolan. Emma was always close to him, leaving no chance for her. Besides, everyone had to go to work tomorrow, so staying overnight wasn’t an option.

Perhaps the only way was to approach him from afar.

Everyone had gathered in the garden. Finn and her brother were in charge of grilling the meat. Emma, Grace, and the other girl were helping to prepare other ingredients. Everyone had their tasks, and only she was cutting the fruit.

- It’s ready, let’s eat!

Finn shouted, and everyone sat down at the prepared table. Even though they had to work tomorrow, Finn was determined to drink, and some protested while others agreed. In the end, everyone decided to drink beer.

- What’s the difference? For sure, if we drink too much, we won’t be able to go back!

The one complaining was Grace, and Finn just smiled and concluded.

- Well, we’ll stay here tonight and head back early tomorrow morning, haha.

Everyone raised their beer bottles and drank, the atmosphere was very lively. It had been a long time since there was such a joyful gathering, and everyone drank to their heart’s content, including her.

It wasn’t long before many at the table were no longer sober, and she was the same.

Seeing Nolan in front of her made her think he was like an apple, and she liked eating apples. Nolan smiled at her.
