Chapter 16

Rowan felt like pinching himself. After thinking about Joanna non-stop for the last few days, suddenly she stood right in front of him, looking like she stepped out of his personal fantasies. And even better, she had been assigned to translate for him during his internship in the TCM department. A grin spread across his face. Maybe TCM isn’t all that bad.

And judging by the way her arm trembled when he’d touched her, she was equally excited to see him. Aroused would be a better word. His body had taken over and every fiber had hardened at her sight – including those parts he didn’t want everyone to notice. Thankfully, he wore loose scrub pants and a long white coat, hiding his arousal.

She still hadn’t said a word, apparently struggling to compose herself after his admission of missing her.

I was just being honest. I thought women liked that? Damn, she’s so confusing.

“Please follow me,” she said with a stern voice, but he could hear the slight tremble in it. The one she tried to hide. Just as she’d hidden the desire in her eyes when she’d cast them away. His heart jumped. Not all was lost.

He followed her into the treatment areas and did his best to get a feel for how things in this department worked. Despite his prejudice about the hocus-pocus they sold disguised as medicine, he decided to make the best of it and learn as much as he could about TCM. If only to scientifically disprove the claims the next time he had a chance.

Throughout the next few days, Joanna dutifully translated for him as needed, but made it a point to keep her professional distance. Not once did she gift him her devastatingly sexy smile, nor did she give him the opportunity for an accidental touch.

Only when she believed to be unobserved, could he feel her eyes ravaging his body, leaving a searing path on his skin. At the end of his second day in the TCM department when nothing had changed, he knew he needed to come up with a plan. He’d be damned if he didn’t make a move on this woman who’d tied him up in knots. She had to be chased out of his system before he went back to the ER.

Every waking hour he thought of her – and dreamt of her in his sleep – to a point that his fantasizing affected his work. Thankfully he wasn’t standing at the operation table, where a single second of inattentiveness could cost a life.

His chance came when he received a note about his vacant apartment. With the letter in hand, he sought out Professor Wu and after some polite chit-chat, where Rowan complained about the difficult communication with the apartment administration due to his lack of understanding Chinese, he formulated his request.

“Professor Wu, I know everyone here is busy, but Miss Joanna has been incredibly helpful translating for me, so I was wondering if it would be an undue request
