She truly hadn’t expected Keith to show up at her door, leaving her a little flustered.
He handed her the thermal flask. “I asked someone to make oatmeal for you. Eat before heading to work p>
He glanced at her pajamas-her hair was a mess, clearly just out of bed.
The loose pajamas she wore had a few buttons undone at the collar, and from his angle, there was an unintentional beauty in the contrast between innocence and allure.
His throat bobbed as he coughed lightly and reminded her, “Don’t open the door like this next time p>
Autumn took the flask, glanced down at her sleepwear, and awkwardly tugged it up a bit.
Setting the flask aside, she quickly reached up to button her top properly.
Once she’d tidied herself, she thanked him, “Thanks, Senior. Sorry you had to bring it over. Really appreciate it p>
Being seen like this-hair messy and collar undone by Keith of all people… the embarrassment was
unbearable.
If there had been a hole in the ground, she would’ve jumped in without hesitation.
And the fact that he brought her breakfast, especially something that took time to prepare like oatmeal, was such a touching surprise.
She’d be lying if she said she wasn’t moved.
Keith looked at her for half a second, then checked his watch.
“I’ve got things to handle at the office. I’ll head out now p>
Almost automatically, Autumn replied, “Okay. Drive safe p>
She’d said that so many times before, a habit formed from constantly reminding Julian before he left the house.
What began as something he called sweet had eventually turned into something he found nagging-likening her to a mother hen, until he grew impatient with her.
So, when Keith mentioned heading to work, her instinct was to remind him to be careful.
She glanced at him nervously-did he think she was being annoying too?
Just then, Keith looked at her as well.
The moment their eyes met, she quickly looked away.
Thankfully, there was no sign of irritation.
“Mm,” Keith replied.
Hearing her reminder, his brows lifted slightly, the corners of his lips tugged into a faint smile.

He looked like he was in a rather good mood.
But Autumn had already looked away and didn’t catch that moment, so she had no idea how Keith actually reacted.
She only had a vague sense that he didn’t seem annoyed, and that alone made her feel slightly relieved.
After Keith left, Autumn took the thermal flask back into her room.
She headed straight to the bathroom and quickly got herself ready.
When she opened the flask, the fragrant aroma spilled out.
Realizing she was genuinely hungry, she grabbed a spoon and began eating.
After finishing the porridge, she headed to the office.
Without a car now, she had no choice but to squeeze onto the bus.
She made a mental note to check out some cars over the weekend-it really was inconvenient not having her own ride.
Once she arrived at work, Autumn quickly snapped into work mode, joining her team for a discussion.
Although they’d only been working together for a few days, the team had already come to respect her.
After all, Autumn’s capabilities not only matched Ben’s-they often surpassed his.
Her presence had helped them solve quite a few problems, and she was easy to work with-always willing to answer questions and offer help.
Even though her reputation in the company wasn’t exactly glowing, it didn’t take away from her actual performance.
That afternoon, Claire handed her a file. “Can you help me send this to Mr. Sharp’s office p>
