"I'll give it some thought," Nicky responded, only to hear him say, "Take all the time you need."

At that moment, a knock echoed through the door, and a casually dressed young boy entered the office. "Doctor Jiang, I brought your favorite coffee."

Jiang Yang interjected, casting a glance at Nicky, "It's her favorite."

The boy's eyes brightened, "A girlfriend, finally?"

"You're catching on, Ron," Jiang Yang remarked, observing Nicky with surprise at their exchange.

Ron turned to her, "Hello, Miss. I'm Ron. I deliver coffee for Dr. Jiang every day," passing her a mug of coffee.

Nicky offered an awkward smile and accepted the drink.

"Now I understand why you ordered two coffees, doctor Jiang" Ron winked at Jiang Yang and handed him another mug. "I'm happy for you."

"You'd better let me be happy for you too," Jiang Yang countered, his gaze turning serious. "How's your preparation going for the university entrance exam?"
