Chapter 120: Chapter 120: The Egg Yolk is Cooked

James Thompson hung up the phone after Nicholas Sullivan’s apologetic call, then walked into the kitchen.

He stood behind her, wrapping his arms around her waist, "Nicholas just called to apologize."

James eyed the egg in the small pot and raised his eyebrows, "Julia, didn’t you just eat your fill?"

Both of them had just had their fill.

His hand slipped under her shirt, touching her stomach, "Still hungry?"

The palm on her stomach felt warmly insistent.

"Not hungry," Julia coughed lightly, feeling a bit silly.

But she continued, "James, the water was originally cold, now it’s warm, soon it’ll be hot, and then the egg yolk will be cooked."

After finishing her explanation, Julia felt a bit awkward.

James listened to a speech that seemed filled with philosophical insights, and decisively and enthusiastically praised, "Julia is amazing, truly a talented woman."

Julia, "...."

Her toes awkwardly wanted to curl up.

She bowed her head, "I didn’t want you to compliment me, I wanted to tell you, the yolk is cooked, the boiled egg is successful."

James looked puzzled; his IQ was quite high, but at the moment he failed to catch Julia’s hint.

Julia touched her face, feeling it grow hot.

She felt embarrassed to continue, so she gave up.

Originally, she had wanted to use the metaphor of boiling water to slowly confess her feelings to him.

But now, Julia decided not to confess, and instead accused, "Mr. Thompson, it seems like you have never confessed your feelings to me?"

Upon hearing this, James glanced at the egg in the pot and then at Julia, suddenly realizing.

"Julia, are you trying to tell me that your heart has already been warmed by me?"

Julia fell silent instantaneously.

Sorry, James couldn’t help it and burst into laughter while embracing her.

He found that each day spent with Julia was filled with fun.

James leaned in and nibbled on Julia’s ear, murmuring deeply, "Julia, the water was originally cold, now it’s warm, soon it’ll be hot, and then the egg yolk will be cooked, just like James’s heart has already been warmed by Julia."

"From liking to loving."

His deep and sultry voice exploded in her mind.

Julia’s ears burned.

She turned around, standing on tiptoe.

Clothes scattered from the kitchen, all the way to the living room, and into the bedroom.

The room was a complete mess.

**

During the "Go, Dog. Go!" show’s recording,

the moment Arabella Shaw saw Austin Langston entering, her complexion changed.

No matter which show she attended lately, Austin was always there!

"It’s strange, I did ask, and this time the show’s producers didn’t invite Austin," Sister Wilson whispered, "She shouldn’t be here for this show, right?"

"The slots for this show are fixed, Orange Inc. shouldn’t have the clout to sneak someone in," Arabella rationalized as she straightened the unflattering uniform provided by the show’s staff, calming herself, "I’ll go do my makeup first."

The show had its designated makeup artists.

Arabella usually used her own personal makeup artist, but today her makeup artist was sick and couldn’t come.

VIP makeup rooms were scarce, but thanks to the Quarter Family’s support, Arabella naturally used one.

Sister Wilson stepped out of the makeup room to look for a makeup artist in the public area, "Excuse me, is there any makeup artist available now?"

Just as she finished her question, she saw Austin already getting her makeup done.

Austin’s makeup style today was uniquely masculine.

Sometimes a woman dressed up handsomely could indeed look more appealing than some men.

Sister Wilson vaguely felt a sense of foreboding.

She asked with a smile, "Ms. Langston, are you here for the show today too?"

Through the mirror, Austin’s gaze met Sister Wilson’s, smiling, "Yes, I’m the special guest for this episode."
