Reborn as the Mayor's Girlfriend

Ryzen POV

Studying Medicine at UP Med is like a breeze since I also mostly know everything. I just have to re-read some stuff and I'm good to go. Hence, I could spend more time volunteering at La Coron City's medical mission.

However, even though I could enter the city hall easily now, it's still a bit hard to see Lennox.

Most days, he would have endless meetings in his office or he would always go out and inspect other areas in the city. Seeing it first-hand, I can proudly say that he's doing a good job governing his city.

There were times where I would see him but we would only have a small chat and dine over pastries I bring. He might be a bit comfortable with me now but I still feel like it isn't enough.

I sighed as I ruminate over my plans. This is really taking a lot longer than I thought...

Lennox is such a complicated character and with this mission, it's making me realise how hard it is to make someone fall genuinely in love with you. It's even harder with goal-oriented and rational person like Lennox Zevallos.

As if the heavens were listening to me, on this particular day, Lennox inspected our medical mission area.

I think it's been roughly two days since I last saw him and compared to before, his skin got slightly tanned. It didn't devalue his overall appearance though. If anything, it made him more dazzling. With his stern face, thick eyebrows, tall nose and pronounced jaw, it's no wonder the media have called him "Mayor Babe".

It's really a fitting nickname since he's young, already a Mayor and an epitome of what politicians should be. He stands out the most amongst politicians in our country who are mostly dirty and corrupt.

Thankfully, I was the only head manager present today in our volunteer team. I had the natural obligation to greet him and tour him around.

"Hi Lennox! You checking out the medical mission today?" I greeted him warmly as I walked towards him.

He looked at me and gave me a small smile.  At least, unlike before, I could feel that his smile towards me was more genuine and sincere rather than the polite smile he's always give back then.

"Mmm. I've heard a lot about you from Dr. Ging during our meetings and she has endless praises for you. Thanks for your help, Millen." he said in a warm tone.

At the thought of my efforts finally being recognised, I could feel subtle blush appear on my face. Lennox should've posted this medical mission thingy earlier so I could get closer to him earlier, hmmph!

"Not a big deal. But now that you're here, why don't we check your vitals? You are our mayor after all and we need to be assured that you're healthy." I said in a sweet tone.

He chuckled a bit before sitting down in one of the chairs anyway, seemingly getting ready to be checked upon.

"Haha. I'm a healthy man, you know. But sure, go ahead." he said with a smile.

My brows momentarily crooked a bit before arranging all the relevant medical equipment that I'd use.

I'd personally check him up!

First, I put out the sterilised thermometer and signalled for him to open his mouth. He was somehow amused at first but followed me anyway.

I let the thermometer rest on his mouth for a minute and took this opportunity to admire his face. Somehow, it felt like the longest minute of my life since while I was holding the thermometer, he was looking directly at my eyes, not quivering at all.

I swallowed my breath after that long, long minute and removed the thermometer from his mouth.

"Your body temperature is normal." I said formally.

He seems to acknowledge it and nodded at me, putting out a lazy expression.

Afterwards, I instructed him to let out his arm so I could check his pulse.

Lennox always wore t-shirts or button-up sleeves and it's not like any different today. However, when he reached out his arm, I couldn't help but admire its physique.

It's large and firm. I could also see the protruding veins on it. Based on my experience, this is definitely someone's arm who has had strenuous exercise.

I smiled inwardly at that. Even though he's doing law and governing the city, it seems like he's really taking care of himself and exercising whenever he has the time.

Having a body built like that is always attractive, especially for men. Nowadays, skinny flower boys are preferred by many but I never got the hype of it. They didn't have the vigour that I'd like a man to have.

With a man like Lennox, just looking at his body, I feel the instinct that it's the kind of man that would be able to protect me. It's difficult to explain... but it's that female instinct of wanting to be doted on by a strong and sturdy man.

I felt a bit electrified as I checked his pulse on his wrist area. His skin was cold and mine was warm. As I listened for his heart beat, I feel like I could hear my own heart beat getting faster as well.

At that moment, I enjoyed listening to both his heart beat and mine.

"Pulse rate is normal as well." I announced with a cheeky smile.

Lennox just looked at me and scoffed.

"Done now?" he asked.

"Nope. There's still one last thing to go." I said with a smile.

I wore my stethoscope and arranged the blood pressure monitor in front. Recognising the procedure, he lay his arms again.

Whilst arranging the blood pressure monitor on his arms, I momentarily touched it and it felt quite good. Who wouldn't enjoy touching a manly man's arms?

I calmed down inwardly and using my stethoscope and utilising the blood pressure monitor, I checked his blood pressure.

"Hmm. Your blood pressure is normal as well. You are a healthy man, Lennox." I said in a flirty tone.

Lennox looked at me and raised his eyebrows a bit before letting out a low chuckle.

"Right. Told you so. I'm a healthy man." he said with a smirk.
