In fact, Michael already knew when he saw how sad Monica was when she returned.
He said, “Do you want me to explain it to Finn?”
“No.” Monica shook her head. “I want to solve my own problems.”
Michael looked at Monica.
He knew very well that although Monica had chosen to help him, she still kept a distance from him.
The distance was a hint of their relationship.
At that, Michael secretly suppressed his emotions.
He deliberately changed the topic and said, “Monica, have you had dinner?”
“I have.” Monica forced herself to deal with Michael.
“I haven’t eaten yet.” Michael held his stomach. “It hurts a little.”
“Why didn’t you eat dinner?” Monica was concerned.
At that moment, it seemed her attention was diverted.
“I was going to eat after work, but I thought of coming over to check on you, so I forgot.”
“Did you come over after our call ended?” Monica asked.
“Yes.” Michael nodded honestly.
“So you’ve been waiting for me for more than two hours?”
“I didn’t have anything to do after work anyway.”
That was definitely not the case.
Not to mention not having dinner, but Michael still had to give his final speech tomorrow morning, so he should go back and prepare more.
Michael looked at Monica’s expression and quickly comforted her, “I’m just a little hungry. That’s all. Don’t look at me like I’ve done something extremely evil to you. I don’t know what to do…”
Michael looked like a boy who had just fallen in love.
Monica took a deep breath and said, “I don’t know how to cook. Do you want me to order takeout for you?”
“There’s no need. It’s getting late, and I should go back. I just wanted to see how things were going here.”
Monica did not insist he stayed either.
Michael was actually just being polite. If Monica had asked him to stay for dinner, he would have stayed.
However, he maintained his smile. “Well, I’ll be leaving now.”
Michael stood up, and Monica sent him out.
At that moment, Michael said, “Monica, can you come to watch my speech tomorrow?”
Monica hesitated.
“It’s okay. If you have something to do, you don’t have to come. It’s not important,” Michael quickly added.
