As Sherman turned around, the assistants immediately opened their group chat.
"Mr. Christensen just fetched a soda for our boss's wife!"
"Guess she loves her fizzy drinks too."
"Mr. Christensen is so attentive to her!"
"Attentive? Con, does he seem like the type to dote on someone?"
"He's so impressive. Maybe she pursued him first?"
"They haven't even announced anything officially! Why are you all so eager? Maybe they're just friends. Word is,
Mr. Christensen wasn't even interested in Carlotta, so why would he go for anyone ordinary?"
"I think our boss's wife is prettier than Carlotta!"
"Agreed!"
Sherman entered the office with the soda.
Anthea had regained her composure and was typing away at her computer.
On the surface, she seemed calm, but inside, she was a bundle of nerves.
That had been her first kiss. Her very first, in this life or any other!
"Anthea."
A deep voice broke the silence above her.
"Hmm?" Anthea looked up, meeting Sherman's deep, dark eyes.
"Here's your chilled soda," Sherman said, handing it to her.
Anthea took a sip, letting the cold drink calm her racing heart.

Sherman took a sip of his own ice water, feeling it was bland and flavorless.
He couldn't help but wonder what made the soda so appealing.
"Anthea," he continued.
Anthea looked up at Sherman, straw still in her mouth.
"I'm heading to Pellonia tomorrow."
"Oh," Anthea nodded slightly.
"I'll be gone for about a week. If you have stime, you could visit my place. My grandmother really likes you."
"Sure," Anthea replied, sipping her soda.
"We recently hired a new pastry chef who's great with mousse desserts."
In the summer heat, nothing beats the taste of a cool mousse melting on your tongue.
Anthea's eyes lit up. "Really?"
"Yes," Sherman nodded slightly.
She's still such a kid, so easily pleased by desserts.
Sherman took another sip of his water.
Once Anthea finished her soda, she returned to work, while Sherman reviewed sdocuments nearby.
The room was filled with the sound of keys tapping.
Occasionally, Anthea would look up to chat with Sherman.
They were quite comfortable together.
Before long, evening arrived.
Anthea stood up and stretched, "All done! Tforto head home."

They found a table by the window.
A waiter soon approached, "Would you like to order now?"
Sherman handed Anthea the menu on a tablet. "I'm easygoing. You pick."

Sherman quietly smiled to himself. Anthea noticed even the little things.
Was she looking out for him?
Something inside him felt unexpectedly full.
A strange sensation, really.
Nothing particularly thrilling had happened, yet he felt incredibly happy. Even a bit excited.
Anthea glanced at Sherman, "We haven't picked a main course yete

"Sure," Sherman nodded, his expression unchanged.
Anthea added the soup to their order and handed the tablet back to the waiter,
"That's all for now."

Sherman ate with a steady, graceful pace, exuding elegance.
