Chapter 392:
Fragments replayed vividly — Kyson smiling as he introduced her to his circle for the very first time, then the awkward distance that followed that incident when she avoided them entirely — each scene drifting through her sleep like faded film reels. Morning arrived with her mind hazy, the details already dissolving until only a faint emotional echo remained.
Beside her, Kyson shifted under the covers and drew her closer, his arm settling around her waist with familiar warmth. “Up this early?” he murmured.
“Yeah.” Nestling more comfortably against his shoulder, she lifted her chin slightly. “Did you finish dealing with everything at the company p>
“Just about.” His lips touched her forehead in a lingering, unhurried kiss. “Have you picked somewhere you’d like to go? We could disappear for two weeks and handle the product launch when we get back p>
“How would that even work?” Tilting her chin up, Kailey shot him a teasing look, eyes bright with mock reproach. “What about the rest of the team?” Every member had been grinding for weeks without pause; halting everything for a honeymoon trip felt unthinkable to her.

Buried in work and details, she drifted so completely into her own orbit that Lyman gradually faded from her thoughts.
Fate interrupted that calm when she nearly collided with him in a doorway during a routine inspection. A brief hesitation stilled her steps, drawing a puzzled glance from the colleague at her side.
“What’s wrong, Kailey? Did you forget something back there p>
With a small push of her glasses up the bridge of her nose, Kailey shook her head lightly. “You go on first. I’ll be right behind you p>
After a night’s rest, her nerves had settled enough that she could face Lyman with surprising composure, regarding him like a figure from a distant chapter of her life — once familiar, now impossibly remote — no matter how imposing his presence still felt.
Leaning casually with one hand tucked into his pocket, Lyman looked as striking as ever, his handsome features carved in cool indifference. Only when the last footsteps faded down the corridor did his eyes finally settle squarely on Kailey. “Busy p>
“Not much.” She maintained a respectful distance. “Did you need something p>
“Nothing serious.” Without blinking, he held her in that steady, magnetic stare. “I was only wondering when you might be free to grab a meal p>
