“I’m afraid I’m too good for you,” Naomi said nonchalantly.
Brendan’s face fell, and he lightly pinched her chin before releasing her. Was Solaris Law Firm better than Ludwig Corporation?
Brendan shoved Naomi’s face away, earning a faint smirk from the latter. She scanned him from head to toe, focusing on his lower half before returning to meet his eyes. “Have you actually fallen for me?”
Brendan rolled his eyes at her. “Dream on.”
Naomi replied, “Oh, come on! Don’t be so shy! I won’t bite. Feel free to fall for me.”
If Brendan really developed feelings and fell for her, she would do everything she could to take revenge on him for what he put her through the past two years.
Brendan couldn’t tolerate Naomi’s banter and covered her mouth with his hand. In the past, whenever Brendan couldn’t win an argument, he would just cover her mouth to stop her from talking.
Naomi pushed his hand away. Upon seeing the traffic ahead, she reclined the passenger seat and lay down. “I’ll take a nap. Wake me up when we arrive at the law firm.”
It was rare that she didn’t have to drive today, so she might as well rest!
Seeing Naomi dozed off, Brendan didn’t disturb her and reached over to turn on the car’s heater.
Hearing the commotion, Naomi peeled open an eye to glance around. When she saw that Brendan had turned on the heater, she closed her eyes again, a faint smile on her lips.
Seeing this, Brendan grabbed his coat from the back seat and placed it lightly over her.
A little after 1:00 pm, the car stopped at the law firm.
Since it was still early, and Naomi was sleeping soundly, Brendan decided against waking her. He merely sat beside her, occasionally glancing at her while browsing his phone.
After a short while, there was a knock on the car window, and Brendan expressionlessly rolled it down. Michael’s grin came into view. “You’re here, Mr. Ludwig! Why don’t you come upstairs?”
Michael had just parked his car and was about to return to the office when he noticed Brendan’s Maybach parked downstairs. Since Brendan was an important client of Solaris Law Firm, Michael hurried over to check
After he said this, only then did he notice Naomi’s sleeping form. Michael was surprised at first and quickly apologized to Brendan on Naomi’s behalf.
“Mr. Ludwig, Ms. Goodwin doesn’t know any better. How could she sleep in your car and waste your time?
“Allow me to apologize on her behalf, Mr. Ludwig. Please don’t get angry at her! This is just how her personality is.”

Although Michael knew something was going on between Naomi and Brendan, he didn’t want to pry into their private matters.
But it was working hours, and as Naomi’s superior, he had to reprimand her for this.
After apologizing to Brendan, Michael reached out and nudged Naomi, “Wake up, Ms. Goodwin. It’s time
to work.”
Naomi was fast asleep. After being nudged by Michael, not only did she not wake up, but she also rolled over and continued sleeping. Drool was even dripping from the corner of her mouth.
Michael was speechless. He glanced at Brendan, who was staring at the drool on Naomi’s mouth.
Michael felt embarrassed for Naomi and chuckled awkwardly. “She’s still young and doesn’t know the importance of her image and reputation.”
If it were anyone else in Brendan’s car, they would have been on high alert and ensured they were on their best behavior. They wouldn’t dare to sleep in his car, let alone drool.
