Gao Shiman frowned slightly, feeling that Blazing Eye was being a little presumptuous. In the past, without her permission, he would never have dared make any physical contact.
Hmph, now that he sees I'm down on my luck, he's started acting without restraint?
She was furious but dared not say anything. After all, she still had to rely on Blazing Eye.
"Boss, are you feeling better?"
