I prepared myself for an earful. Aaron was definitely seething with anger, and I knew he was about to give me a stern lecture about my health and my decision to travel while sick.

To my surprise, Aaron didn't start lecturing me just yet. Instead, he reached out and took my hand, gently guiding me into the elevator. His expression was still stern, but there was a flicker of tenderness in his eyes.

Aaron didn't look at me for another moment. His gaze was fixed straight ahead, his jaw clenched tight. I could feel the tension between us, thick and heavy in the air.

As the elevator doors closed, Aaron suddenly closed the distance between us. Our faces were just inches apart, his intense gaze fixed on mine. My heart raced as I tried to decipher his expression and figure out what he was thinking.

He was so close to me that I was trapped between his strong, muscular arms. He spoke calmly but with a hint of anger in his voice. "Care to explain what the hell you're doing here? You're sick, you shouldn't be traveling in this condition."I swallowed hard and tried my best to give Aaron my most innocent and pleading look.

"I... I just wanted to be with you on your birthday," I said, my voice barely above a whisper. "I missed you."

There was a flicker of surprise in Aaron's eyes, but his expression remained stern.

"You could have just called me," he said gruffly, "you didn't have to put yourself at risk by traveling all the way here while you're sick.

"I tried to explain, my voice trembling a bit as I spoke. "Y-you had meetings," I stuttered, "and I didn't want to disturb you. I... I wanted to surprise you."

He sighed and ran his hands over his temples, as if trying to soothe a headache. "I can't believe you'd risk your health like this just for a surprise," he said, his voice taut with frustration.

I gave him a cheeky, toothy smile, hoping to soothe his irritation. "So... does that mean you're not angry with me anymore?"he let out a weary sigh, and his expression softened slightly. "You know I can't stay angry with you for long," he said, but there was a hint of warning in his voice. "But you need to take care of yourself. Remember, I'll be seriously upset if you end up getting sick because of this surprise."

His tone grew more serious as he continued, "And I mean it. If you do anything that puts your health at risk, I'll make sure you regret it. You need to take care of yourself, no matter what."

I couldn't help but mutter under my breath as Aaron lectured me. "He's such a pain in the ass," I muttered quietly, feeling a mix of annoyance and affection for his overprotectiveness.

Just as we were about to arrive at our floor, I had an idea. I turned to him with a mischievous smile and asked, "Can I blindfold you with my hands?"He raised an eyebrow at my request but didn't protest. "You want to blindfold me?" he inquired, giving me an amused yet somewhat skeptical look.

I nodded eagerly, unable to contain my excitement. "Yes, I want to blindfold you," I said quickly, my voice filled with anticipation. He shrugged slightly, a hint of curiosity in his eyes. "Alright, go on then," he said, gesturing for me to proceed.

Even though I was wearing heels, I still couldn't match his towering height. He was significantly taller than me, making the task of blindfolding him a bit more challenging.

Before I could even try to reach up and blindfold him, He chuckled at my efforts and suddenly scooped me up into his arms. I let out a startled squeak as he lifted me off the ground with ease.
