Chapter 103:
Kailey felt a knot form in her throat. That single kiss had scattered her fear, leaving her pulse racing. Kyson’s familiar scent surrounded her, and the warmth of his lips still lingered on hers. Her heartbeat quickened as she blinked and whispered, “But what if it causes problems for the company p>
“There are people whose entire job is to handle business matters. If a company dismisses a designer’s boundaries and forces them into situations like that, then it isn’t a place worth staying.” The logic of his words settled over her slowly. Only then did Kailey realize how trapped her own thinking had become. After a brief pause, she nodded. “I understand p>
Once Kyson was certain she had steadied herself, he loosened his hold and spoke gently. “Go to your room now. Take a warm bath, rest well, and sleep. By tomorrow morning, everything will be taken care of. Alright p>
With a quiet nod, Kailey stepped out of his arms, her eyes lingering on him a moment longer than she intended before she turned away.
“I’m alright now,” she murmured. “I just let my emotions get the better of me. Kent didn’t get the chance to do anything, so there’s no need to worry p>

Kyson’s gaze dropped to the tears in her clothing, and a darker look settled slowly over his face. “Okay. You handled it well. Go take a bath. I’ll be right here the whole time. Call me if you need anything p>
Kailey nodded, straightened her clothes, and made her way upstairs.
The moment she disappeared from view, Kyson’s expression hardened. He reached for his phone and called Linda. “What’s the current situation p>
On the other end, Linda sat in her car outside the police station, pressing a hand to her head, genuinely wondering how everything had managed to spiral into such a disaster. She had somehow managed to drag the boss’s future wife straight into the middle of it.
She gave a careful, measured report. “Kent and his assistant are under control. The police are gathering evidence right now. Devin and I are coordinating with them to make sure everything is properly documented p>
After a brief pause, she asked cautiously, “Mr. Blake, should we contact Dana p>
It was understood that Dana was involved. What Linda couldn’t read was how the boss intended to handle her.
Kyson rubbed his fingers together slowly and replied in a low voice, “There’s no need to contact her tonight. Tell her to come to the office tomorrow morning p>
The call ended. Linda stared at her phone and silently mourned Dana’s fate for a solid three minutes.
In the end, there was nothing to be done. Dana had brought this entirely upon herself. The thought of someone like her remaining inside the company was enough to make anyone uneasy.
After taking a bath, Kailey drifted off to sleep, entirely unaware that Kyson stayed awake in the next room, keeping watch over her until morning.
When Kailey finally woke up, Kyson happened to be stepping out of his room at the same moment.
Their eyes met, and the memory of last night’s kiss surfaced instantly, sending heat rushing to her cheeks.
“Good morning p>
