Chapter 104:
As Kailey ran her tongue lightly over her lips, their natural pink deepened without her realizing it—and she had no idea how striking that small, unconscious gesture looked to him.
A faint shadow moved through Kyson’s eyes, and his voice came out slightly rough. “Morning. Did you rest well p>
“I did.” She had expected fear to keep her awake, yet perhaps because of the lingering alcohol, she had slept more deeply than she’d anticipated.
She looked up and noticed he was already fully dressed, surprise crossing her face. “You’re leaving this early p>
“Mm.” He glanced at the time and added, “I made breakfast for you. Your supervisor called earlier and said to take the day off and rest at home p>
Kailey went still, color draining from her face. “My supervisor? You mean Dana p>
“Linda.” Kyson’s brows tightened slightly. His fingers curled before he reached out and touched her cheek. “Dana will face the consequences she deserves. You don’t need to be afraid p>
Meeting his eyes, Kailey felt an unexpected quiet settle inside her.
A small smile crossed her face. “Alright p>
Kyson headed out shortly after and drove to Fantasy Fusion.

It wasn’t yet eight thirty, and most employees were still absent—but Linda had been standing by the entrance since seven, uneasy about the possibility of the boss arriving early and finding no one there.
She spotted the familiar Maybach from a distance and rushed forward to open the door before anyone else could. “Mr. Blake p>

Linda nodded at once. “Understood p>
She followed him upstairs, quickening her pace to keep up with his long strides. From just behind him, she caught the clean line of his jaw and the composed sharpness of his profile—calm and unreadable, like a figure stepped out of a painting, carrying something quietly dangerous beneath the surface.
She had initially assumed Kyson had come solely to deal with Dana. She hadn’t expected his first move to be focused on work entirely.
Then again, if he had been the type to let personal matters override everything else, she never would have followed him since graduation.
By the time the work discussion ended, the clock had passed nine. Kyson gathered the documents, leaned back with easy composure—a deliberate contrast to his earlier intensity. “Go ahead and bring Dana in p>
Even delivered in that deep, unhurried voice, the instruction sent a chill along Linda’s spine.
She drew a steady breath, turned, and walked out.
The moment she stepped into the open office area, her eyes found Dana immediately. She was seated at her desk touching up her makeup, radiant with confidence and clearly in excellent spirits.
Linda paused in the doorway and curved her lips into a knowing smile. “You still have the energy to worry about your appearance p>
