Chapter 422:
Benny continued watching until she disappeared into the office, and only then did he look away. Clenching his teeth, he muttered under his breath, “That woman is really something.” A quiet laugh slipped from his lips soon after, its meaning hard to decipher.
Kailey had no idea when Benny eventually left. By the time she wrapped up her tasks and stepped out, the lounge area was already empty.
She didn’t think much of it. Picking up a cup of coffee, she returned to her desk and resumed working. The quarterly product launch was only a few days away, and at such a crucial stage, there was absolutely no room for error.
By eight in the evening, several lights were still shining inside Fantasy Fusion.
Zaria walked out of her office and leaned weakly against the partition. “Kailey, are you still not heading home p>
𝖠𝖽𝖽𝗂𝖼𝗍𝗂𝗏𝖾 𝗌𝗍𝗈𝗋𝗂𝖾𝗌 𝗈𝗇
Lifting her eyes, Kailey answered, “I’ll finish soon. You can leave first p>
“Is Kyson coming to pick you up p>
“Yes.” Kyson had sent her a message earlier to say he was already on his way.
With a hint of envy, Zaria puffed out her cheeks. “Fine then — the rest of us poor workers have to figure out our own ride home after overtime.” She suddenly grinned. “But maybe that won’t last long. I might not stay single for much longer p>
Curious, Kailey asked, “What’s happening p>
Covering her face shyly, Zaria spoke in an unusually soft tone. “It’s nothing serious. Just a small development.” A few days earlier, she had met a man who was gentle, refined, and good-looking — fitting perfectly with everything she wanted in a partner. More importantly, he appeared to come from a well-off background, which might finally give her the chance to elevate her social status.
Watching Zaria drift into her own fantasies, Kailey felt genuinely happy for her friend, yet she still reminded her gently, “Just make sure you protect yourself. Everything else can come later p>
“I know.” Still smiling to herself, Zaria walked away in high spirits, clearly lost in pleasant thoughts.
Kailey didn’t give it much thought afterward. When it was almost time to leave, she shut down her computer just as a message from Kyson popped up telling her he had arrived. A smile curved on her lips, and she quickly made her way downstairs.
The moment she pulled open the car door, a wave of warm air wrapped around her. After settling into her seat, she was about to fasten her seatbelt when a cup of hot drink was offered from beside her. A surprised laugh escaped her. “Kyson, you even bought this for me p>
“I’ve noticed many girls like it. It’s still warm. Taste it p>
“Thank you.” Kailey unwrapped the straw and took a careful sip. The milk flavor was smooth and rich, with just the right level of sweetness.
Turning slightly, she caught sight of him driving steadily. His well-defined fingers rested loosely on the steering wheel, and under the night lights, there was something quietly captivating about him. A playful idea suddenly formed in her mind, and she lifted the cup toward him. “Do you want some p>
