"You aren't going to take your lunch?"
Gareth's voice made Jess lift her face away from the screen of her laptop. She stared at Gareth with a small crease in between her brows.
"It's already two in the afternoon. I didn't ask you to have lunch because you looked like you don't want to be disturbed from your work, but you just got better from being sick, I don't think you should strain yourself too soon with work." He gave her a small smile.
Jess looked at the right corner of her computer screen and saw that it is indeed already two in the afternoon! She didn't feel any hunger and totally forgot the time. She was so excited about the fact that she got more access to the research study that Noah used to work on with his ex-wife Nicole.
