Of course, Cecilia longed for Mark to accompany her, but she was well aware of his busy schedule. She wrapped her arms around his neck and spoke softly.

"Zoey will keep me company. You can take a break in the office at noon and join us for dinner tonight."

"Alright," Mark agreed, holding her slender waist.

Rare moments like these when they could be together tended to ignite his desires easily. Mark brushed her face with his prominent nose and whispered, full of desires, "I wish I could have more days off to stay with you."

Cecilia's cheeks flushed and her heart raced.

Playing with the buttons of his shirt with one hand, she whispered,

“Christmas day is around the corner. Won't that be enough for you?"

Mark chuckled.

"You're right, we can make the most of the holiday to relax and have fun."

Despite their intimacy, he still had to attend to his work.

Outside, Peter had been waiting for him next to the car.

Peter used to be quite smooth-talking. When he saw Mark come out, he couldn't help but tease, “You're positively glowing today.”

Mark got into the car and adjusted his tie before asking, "Really?"

A grin spread across Peter's face.

“Absolutely! You seem to be in high spirits."

Mark glanced at him. He indeed felt both physically and mentally invigorated.

When they arrived at the office, Mark's subordinates were already aware that he had picked up his girlfriend and son. Seeing that he was in such a good mood, they jokingly asked him to invite them to his wedding.

Peter playfully scolded them.

"You rascals! Are you teasing Mr. Evans?"

Mark waved his hand dismissively and ordered his subordinates, "Get back to work! After work, ask Peter for some money to have fun. As for the wedding, I promise you won't miss it."
