Chapter 28 Being Closer Will Keep You Warm 

Inside the car, the temperature was noticeably cold

Celica sat upright, her paws restlessly on her knees, waiting for Nathaniel to speak

Would he find another reason to take her back to the Hyde Family and claim that her job was tarnishing the reputation of the Hydes from the Snowwolf Pack

Last time, she had barely escaped his clutches, and if she were brought back, it would be even harder to leave 

Nathaniel sat beside her, his white shirt buttoned up, accentuating his masculine Adam’s apple. His well- built neck and chiseled jawline created an elegant curve

A soft light reflected from outside the car window, illuminating his profile. Half of his devilishly handsome face was hidden in the shadows, exuding an air of depth and aloofness

Celica was flustered as she looked at him. She realized just how stunningly handsome this Alpha was. He had the power to captivate countless women

Nathaniel noticed Celica’s gaze, and a faint smile tugged at the corner of his lips. Feel free to look at me After all, I’m your mate. You can look at any part of my body.” 

His words made her blush instantly. She knew what he meant

As the air grew colder, she sneezed and was about to ask Remus to raise the air conditioning temperature. However, Nathaniel gently gripped her shoulder

With a slight tug, she found herself in Nathaniel’s embrace. Getting closer will keep you warm 

Celica lowered her head, unable to meet his gaze. Every second spent with him felt like torture

After a long pause, he observed her subtle actions and asked, How do you feel about your new job?” 

She was somewhat surprised that he was concerned about her job. She wondered if he would ask her to quit and return to the Hyde Family to become a useless Mrs. Hyde

It’s going pretty well,she replied honestly

The air conditioner seemed to be continuously dropping in temperature, and her fingertips started to feel cold. She clutched the hem of her skirt, causing a few wrinkles, and her shoulders trembled slightly

Nathaniel grunted and casually took off his coat, draping it over Celica

A faint scent of sandalwood wafted from the coat, still retaining his body warmth. It reminded her of the night he had held her in his arms

He e gently helped her straighten her tousled hair, his actions tender, as if they were a couple who had been together for years

After withdrawing his hand, he spoke slowly. If that’s the case, keep up the good work.” 

Celica raised her eyes, feeling somewhat incredulous. She was speechless

On the contrary, his attitude was a strong endorsement of her work 

She was pleasantly surprised and took a few seconds to react. She smiled and nodded

He noticed the joy in her eyes, a barely discernible hint of darkness flashing in his own. Nathaniel should respect all of Celica’s thoughts and be a gentleman in front of her, so she wouldn’t resist him as much 

He gently cupped her face. Don’t rely on the privileges of being Mrs. Hyde. Prove to me with your abilities that supporting you is the right decision.” 

Her eyes filled with joy instantly. When she looked up at him, her captivating eyes sparkled, and she nodded firmly. I will!” 

Nathaniel smiled, seeing Celica like an energetic little warrior. She was the kind of woman he likedstrong and independent

Then, he continued, Tll be going on a business trip abroad for a while to attend a summit meeting. I won’t be in the country.” 

She didn’t know what to say, so she obediently responded with a simple Mm.He was the CEO of Hyde Corp. and the Alpha of Snowwolf Pack, so he surely had many subsidiary companies to manage

At that moment, they arrived at their destination, and the car slowed to a stop

The engine’s sound died down, and the interior of the car became even quieter

Her gaze shifted to the window, only to realize that they had arrived at her grandmother’s house

So, Nathaniel had no intention of taking Celica back to the Hyde Family from the very beginning. She suddenly felt like she had misjudged him

WellI’ll get off here.” 

She removed the coat and turned to open the door. Suddenly, a hand grabbed her arm from behind

Turning her head, she met Nathaniel’s deep black pupils. They were already quite close, but now they were even more intimate

She could feel his breath on her cheek, and her heart felt like it had suddenly been launched into space without warning. WWhat’s wrong?” 

Nathaniel’s gaze lingered on Celica’s delicate face. If you encounter any difficulties, be sure to call me first.” 

He was going abroad, so could he come back quickly if she needed him

She nodded obediently, holding her breath, and responded softly with a subdued Mm.” 

Finally, he released her arm, and his large hand moved to the back of her head before pulling her delicate face closer. Then, his soft lips planted a kiss on her forehead

Go back 

Celica’s heart rate, which had just started to calm down, became erratic again after feeling the cool imprint of Nathaniel’s lips on her forehead. Mm… 

After opening the car door, she swiftly escaped his sight like a stealthy night cat

Kunched 

Back in her room, Celica buried herself under the covers and recalled the scenes from earlier. Her young heart could hardly bear such teasing

After having dinner that night, she sat at her desk and worked on design sketches. As dawn approached, she remained motionless in her chair

She had been working during the day and coming home to work on her sketches in the evening for several days in a row

Three days later, she submitted her completed designs to Lily Barker just before the deadline

The following morning. Celica felt sleepdeprived and tired as she had been staying up late for multiple night 

in a row. So, she decided to make a cup of coffee in the pantry. The cabinet containing the coffee beans was too high for her to reach. She considered grabbing a stool to help her when a tall figure appeared behind her

With a lift of his hand, the man effortlessly retrieved the coffee bean canister and handed it to her. Here 

you go.” 

Celica looked up and realized it was the man who had helped her with the elevator button the other day, Reagan

Thank you,she said, her lips curling into a slight smile

Reagan was a renowned figure in the design industry, and practically every design student was familiar with his name. Confronted with a talented man who was more attractive than a major celebrity, Celica couldn’t help but feel a bit bashful

He was clad in a black shirt that accentuated his welltoned physique. A trench coat draped over his shoulders, emanating an air of aloofness. He simply acknowledged her with a soft Mmbefore strolling 

away

Given that many designers possessed a somewhat distant demeanor, Celica didn’t find it peculiar. She brewed her coffee and made her way outside

Meanwhile, Lily worked swiftly, carefully selecting the most satisfactory design sketch from a pool of excellent submissions. The list of chosen designers was then distributed to everyone via email

Celica opened her web page and saw her name on the list. A surge of joy welled up within her, knowing that those late nights had not been in vain

Little did she realize the envy she might attract as a mere intern, triumphing over designers who had been in the field for years
