The glass bowl and the first aid box from the aide's hand fell off at the sight that welcomed him, clanging on the floor, breaking both Adrien and Alicia apart from their brief embrace, but the hands of Adrien didn't leave Alicia's waist, holding her in place. He gave a glance at the man who stood rigid not knowing what to do as he struggled to clean up the mess he had created.
"Forgive me for intruding, Sir," he said before he hurriedly took the first aid kits skittishly.
"Leave it on the table," ordered Adrien in a cold tone, his eyes never leaving the aide, who was trembling like a withering leaf that was during the winter cold season.
