Chapter 60 - In Bed Together (1/2)

Suddenly, Jackson walked over to Halia and sat down beside her.

Halia jumped a little in surprise.

There was so much space in the lab, why did he have to sit right next to her? And so close too?!

Halia shuffled away a little and grabbed the fried chicken in front of her. ”What were you talking about? You should start eating. The fried chicken won't be crunchy if you leave it for too long,” she said as she began to lift the fried chicken to her mouth.

But, before she took a bite, Jackson suddenly hooked his arm around her waist and pulled her towards him. He seemed to be thinking something as he smiled at her.

Halia held her breath in surprise as she looked at the man. He was so close that she could feel the warmth of his body. As she looked at the smile on his lips, she began to get nervous. Did he want to kiss her again?

At that moment, Jackson began to slowly lean forward. Halia felt her heart pound almost out of her chest as her body fell weak in the man's arms.

But...

...she was wrong...

...instead of giving her a kiss, Jackson opened his mouth and took a bite of the chicken in her hand!

”Crunch!!!” a loud crunch drew Halia back to reality.

”You're right, it is crunchy,” Jackson said as he let go of her waist.

Halia blushed. Why did this man suddenly do this?

Jackson moved away a little and started eating. His lips curved upwards slightly as he placed his hand to his heart. It was beating faster than ever before. Maybe Max was right...

...

After dinner, Jackson, Halia and Max sat down together and started writing down all the parts they needed for the bomb. They then searched through the storage together for whatever they could find.

Of course, when the boys didn't notice, Halia slipped a few extra parts into her pocket to build her defuse switch.

Afterwards, Halia wrote down a list of parts they were missing and handed it to Max. ”Bring these with breakfast tomorrow,” she smiled.
