Chapter 269: Chapter 269: You’re Not in Love

On the drive back to the hotel from the hospital,

Julia Land felt somewhat exhausted.

She messaged Isaac and Max to explain that due to her injury, she wouldn’t be able to go out with them tomorrow.

Tyler Hughes dropped Julia Land off at her room, "Boss, call me if you need anything."

Julia Land nodded, "Mhm, thank you."

As Tyler Hughes turned to leave the room, he saw James Thompson standing at the door about to knock.

James Thompson nodded at Tyler Hughes and then entered the room.

Although Tyler Hughes really wanted to close the door and prevent James Thompson from entering, he knew he couldn’t do that.

Julia Land was somewhat surprised to see James Thompson enter, "Max told you?"

James Thompson nodded, "Yeah."

He walked over and crouched down to look at her knee; the man looked focused. The doctor had already bandaged it, so the wound was not visible.

He stood up, glanced at Julia Land, and went to get a pair of pajamas for her to change into, "You can’t take a shower today because of the water."

Seeing that Julia Land didn’t seem keen to change into the pajamas, he knew what she was thinking.

"Can you make do with a wipe down for today, or should I have someone buy a waterproof shower cover right now?"

Julia Land had slipped and fallen while showering, and her body wasn’t fully cleaned, so she really felt uncomfortable.

"Buy a waterproof shower cover."

James Thompson made a call to Jasper Winters to help purchase a waterproof leg cover for showering.

After ending the call, he sat down beside her, "Little Pear, you need to be more careful in the future. You can’t be so reckless."

"Yeah, I’ll learn from this experience."

Right after her words fell, they heard someone knocking at the door.

James Thompson went to open it.

Tyler Hughes was holding a bag of items. He flashed a friendly smile at James Thompson and entered the room, "Boss, I had someone buy a waterproof cover just in case you needed it."

Julia Land gave a faint smile, "Thank you."

James Thompson took the waterproof cover from him with a nod, "Thanks."

Seeing James Thompson’s husband-like demeanor, Tyler Hughes felt like grinding his teeth but politely exited the room.

James Thompson carefully helped Julia Land put on the waterproof cover, taking care not to touch her injured knee.

"All done, you can take a shower now," James Thompson stood up and bent down to carry Julia Land to the bathroom.

He gently placed her down and made sure she was standing properly.

Julia Land tried to stand and found that, although her knee hurt, the pain was bearable.

James Thompson rolled up his sleeves and pant legs.

He quickly helped Julia Land rinse off, his movements gentle and meticulous, making sure not to touch her wound.

"How does it feel? If standing hurts, just tell me."

Julia Land nodded lightly, her voice carrying a hint of relief, "It’s fine, no problem. This waterproof cover looks like it won’t let any water in, right?"

"It won’t."

After the shower, James Thompson tenderly dried her body with a dry towel.

Then he waited for her to put on her underwear before helping her into clean pajamas.

The two were already very familiar with each other’s bodies.

Julia Land was not embarrassed.

He carried her back and carefully placed her on the bed.

"Rest well. I’ll leave once you fall asleep."

"Okay." Julia Land wouldn’t usually sleep so early, but she still closed her eyes.

The room was very quiet.

James Thompson stood by the bed and watched Julia Land for a while, then quietly sat on the sofa.

When she woke up the next day, Julia Land didn’t see James Thompson around.

She didn’t know when he had left the previous night.

It was a rare good night’s sleep.

Outside Julia Land’s room at this time,

Tyler Hughes was holding a bag of breakfast, while Jasper Winters was carrying a thermos.

The two of them, one with a radiant smile and the other with a cultured and gentle smile.

Tyler Hughes smiled, revealing the dimples on his cheeks, looking sunny and harmless, "I’ve already bought breakfast for the Boss. You can take your breakfast back."

Jasper Winters adjusted his glasses and calmly said, "Inside this thermos is lotus leaf and lotus seed porridge, which is good for someone recovering from an injury."

Taking a deep breath to maintain his smile, Tyler Hughes said, "Give me the thermos, I’ll bring it in for the Boss."

"No need, I was just about to go in and greet Director Land," Jasper Winters said with a smile.

They knocked on the door together, waiting for a response.

After a moment, Julia Land opened the door.

"Boss, I bought breakfast."

"BOSS, let me bring this to you."

The two men spoke almost simultaneously.

Julia Land looked at the two men standing at the door with a helpless smile, "Come in."

Tyler Hughes and Jasper Winters glanced at each other and walked into the room with their respective breakfasts.

Tyler Hughes set the bag he was carrying on the table, enthusiastically saying, "Boss, the breakfast from this place is really delicious. I had to wait in line for quite a while to get it."

Jasper Winters then opened the thermos, revealing the steaming lotus leaf and lotus seed porridge with a faintly fragrant aroma wafting towards them, "Director Land, this was specially sent by Mr. Thompson. I hope you like it."

Julia Land slightly twitched the corner of her mouth and nodded, "Thank you both, for the trouble."

With a cultured smile, Jasper Winters gently said, "Director Land, if you need anything, just let us know. Please enjoy, I’ll be off."

When Tyler Hughes was about to follow and leave, Julia Land stopped him, "Assistant Hughes, wait a moment."

Tyler Hughes stayed behind with a radiant smile.

Julia Land sat down and first scooped up a spoonful of the lotus seed porridge, tasting it.

The fresh aroma of the porridge and the chewy texture of the lotus seeds involuntarily relaxed her mood.

After a few bites, she spoke to Tyler Hughes, "Assistant Hughes, if you want to continue working by my side, you need to let go of certain inappropriate thoughts."

Hearing Julia Land’s warning words, Tyler Hughes’s smile instantly stiffened, and he dropped his head.

Julia Land looked up at him, her tone calm but carrying an undeniable sternness, "Work is work, and personal feelings should not be mixed in. What I need is a competent assistant, not someone with ulterior motives."

Tyler Hughes’ gaze fell to the tips of his shoes. "Boss, I... I understand."

Julia Land nodded, "Good that you understand. Now go and prepare the materials for this afternoon’s video conference."

Tyler Hughes nodded, his expression turning serious, "I understand, Boss. I will do my best in my work and not disappoint you."

He turned and left the room, and once the door was closed, he stood at the door ready to cry.

The Boss was angry.

Julia Land continued drinking her lotus seed porridge as she watched the closed door.

During this period of interaction, she had found Tyler Hughes’ work capability to be good.

That’s why Julia Land was willing to give him another chance to stay on with the job.

Tyler Hughes returned to his room and immediately messaged Michael Scott.

[Senior, I have suffered a heartbreak.]

At this moment, Michael Scott was enjoying his morning cup of coffee. Reading the message from Tyler Hughes, he had trouble swallowing the coffee in his mouth.

He leisurely replied, [Little! Brother! You weren’t in love, so what’s there to lose? I’ve already warned you, don’t set your heart on the Boss.]
