Pampered by the Demon

Scarlett was fooled by Mike’s exaggeration.

She closed Mike’s files and forced him to stop working and have a rest.All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

She touched his forehead to check the temperature.

“It’s a little hot. You have to eat something first and then take the medicine.”

She had never seen such a workaholic. He was sick and still wanted to work.

“It’s not that serious.”

Mike’s tone was indifferent, but his gaze was determined.

“Drink this bowl of soup first.” She held the soup bowl in her hand and spurned herself in her heart.

She deserved to be suppressed by Mike because she was still worried about him.

Scarlett could not leave Mike alone.

She was accustomed to his high-spirited appearance. Seeing his weak appearance, she felt uncomfortable and guilty.

After all, he was sick because he bought her the medicine.

After receiving the soup she handed over, Mike took a sip and immediately frowned in disgust.

“You didn’t do it.”

He was very picky about food. As long as the food wasn’t cooked by Scarlett, he wouldn’t eat it.

Scarlett rolled her eyes at his pretentious and picky look.

“I just recovered from my illness today. If you want to obtain the residual value from me, you have to start tomorrow.”

Only then did Mike realize that Scarlett was still sick. Then he drank the soup obediently.

He endured the dissatisfaction and finished the soup, handing her the empty bowl.

“Since you are sick, I will allow you to rest for another week, but from now on, you are allowed to leave!”

Scarlett, who had felt a little sympathy for him just now, immediately frowned in dissatisfaction when she heard his request.

She shouldn’t sympathize with this guy! Just after recovering a little, he immediately became picky.

Before Scarlett could protest, Mike’s hand rested on his temple and slowly rubbed it twice.

His weak look succeeded in suppressing Scarlett’s fire.

“I was crazy enough to come here. I want to leave…”

She complained and tidied up the soup bucket.

After drinking a bowl of soup, Mike felt that the strength of his body had recovered a lot. Of course, more strength came from the little wildcat that had suddenly appeared as a surprise.

Mike continued to work. Scarlett sat on the sofa and played with her phone.

Mike knew Scarlett was responsible and she won’t leave him alone. He was satisfied with his trick.

The trick didn’t matter as long as the result was what he wanted.

The annoying work now looked less burdensome.

Not only was it because of the bowl of soup she handed over, but it was also because of the spiritual energy from her.

When he raised his eyes and saw that the person he wanted to see was right within his reach, he felt much better from the headache.

His keen sense of smell had weakened due to a cold, but he could instantly smell her fragrance and felt that his mind was much clearer.

Scarlett brushed her phone for a while and stood up when she saw that it was almost time.

A faint sound immediately attracted Mike’s attention. Seeing that she was about to leave, he was unhappy.

“Where are you going?”

“You should take the medicine now. I’ll go to Daniel’s and get the medicine.”

It turned out that she had been looking at her phone to count the time to take the medicine. Mike was reassured.

Well, she wouldn’t leave him anyway.

“Sit down. I’ll let him send the medicine in.”

Mike called Daniel and Daniel immediately delivered the medicine. Daniel gave Scarlett a look of admiration.

He thought that it was amazing that Scarlett could persuade Mike to have the medicine.

All the assistants failed to persuade Mike to take the medicine when he was sick.

He would glare at the assistants and scold them.

Daniel placed the medicine on the table, gave Scarlett a thumbs up, and then left.

Mike ignored the medicine and continued his work.

Scarlett waited for three minutes, then looked up and saw that the medicine was still on the table.

“Take the medicine.” She reminded him.

“I don’t want to eat.” Mike didn’t mean to be arrogant this time. He hated taking medicine.

Scarlett was irritated by his words.

Mike asked Daniel to send the medicine because he didn’t want to see Scarlett walk out of the room, afraid that she would take the opportunity to sneak away.

However, he didn’t want to eat the medicine at all.

Scarlett was infuriated by his arrogance.

She wanted to leave him alone and ignore his arrogant and unreasonable look.

At this moment, Scarlett’s heart seemed to be divided into two factions.

The white angle in her heart said, “Scarlett, you can’t treat him like this. He was sick because he bought medicine for you!”

The devil in her heart said, “He deserved it. Don’t forget what he did to you!”

The devil and the angel started to fight each other.

In the end, the angel suppressed the devil, and Scarlett silently spat on her again.

Why was she so sympathetic!

She stood up and walked to the table. She poured out the medicine one by one according to the instructions, placed it on her palm, and handed it to Mike.

“Take the medicine!”

She thought that if he didn’t take it, she would leave him alone this time.

“No.” He dodged backward, avoiding the pile. It looked colorful, but the taste was disgusting.

“Mike, are you afraid of taking the pills?”

Scarlett was shocked by his childish behavior.

It was unbelievable that Mike would fear the medicine.

A trace of embarrassment quickly flashed across Mike’s face, and he quickly concealed it.

“I’m not afraid! I just hate it.”

“Why do you hate it? Didn’t you feed me with your mouth when I had a fever? Just for a moment, it won’t be very bitter…”

Realizing what she had said, Scarlett shut her mouth awkwardly.

“Do you still remember what happened that night?” Mike was amused.

It seemed that he hadn’t worked in vain.

No wonder the little wildcat came here when she was still angry. It turned out that she wanted to repay him for taking care of her that night.

Scarlett won’t owe anyone a favor. She didn’t want to be bullied, but she didn’t take it for granted that other people treated her well. She was both audacious and adorable, which was respectable.

Scarlett blushed, and she hid the panic in her heart by feeding him medicine.

She put the medicine to his mouth and asked fiercely,

“Do you want to take medicine or not? If you don’t take medicine, you’ll die of illness.”

Mike knew that it was already the limit. If he forced her, she might shrink back into the shell.

He ate the medicine directly. The bitter taste made him frown and he swallowed it with difficulty. Then, he grabbed the cup and took two bites.

Scarlett let out a long sigh of relief after completing the task.

After feeding him the medicine, she thought that she had returned his favor, so she wouldn’t feel guilty.

“I’m going back.”

“No, let’s go together after work!” Mike said tyrannically.

“I need to go back and take the medicine. It’s almost time.” She didn’t want to be here because she felt awkward.

Mike thought for a moment and reluctantly nodded.

“I’ll have the driver take you back.”

“Mike, don’t be too tired. You’re already sick, so you should work less. Your health is more important than anything else.”

Realizing that her words seemed to be too intimate, Scarlett added.

“Don’t think that I’m trying to flatter you. I’m just repaying your favor, so we don’t owe each other anything!”

The guilty and cute look on her face delighted him.

He wanted to keep her here for a while longer.

Mike frowned, but he had already used the trick of pretending to be sick, and there seemed to be no other reason for him to keep her. Moreover, she had to take the medicine.

She was preparing for pregnancy, so she had to keep good health.

Mike could feel that Scarlett’s guard against him hadn’t been eliminated, forcing her to stay would make their relationship worse.

He suppressed his impulse to keep her and ask the driver to send her back.

As soon as she left, the fragrance disappeared. Mike felt that his work instantly became irritable again.

It was dramatic that in the afternoon, he had a fever after pretending to be sick to win Scarlett’s sympathy. This time, it was a serious fever.

Mike couldn’t continue working. He decided to bring his work home. With the company of Scarlett, he might recover better.

He found that with the company of Scarlett, he would be more efficient at work.

As he passed by the secretary’s room, he heard several of his secretaries discussing enthusiastically.

“As long as she is hurt once, she will never forget him. It’s very difficult to get close again.”

“She has a strong sense of self-esteem. If anyone hurts her once, it will be very difficult to win her heart again!”

“I just saw it. Her eyes were filled with alienation as if she wanted to flee far away!”

The secretaries were having a heated discussion, but they didn’t notice that their conversation had been eavesdropped on by Mike.

Hurt, difficult to get close to, strong self-esteem, eyes full of alienation.

These keywords were heard by Mike.

Mike stopped. How could his secretaries know about the matter between him and Scarlett? What happened?
