"Did you sleep well, Mr. Dn? I''m really sorry about yesterday. I freaked out after hearing what our partners said and didn''t pay attention to how strong the drinks were."
Her face was full of regret. "To make it up to you, I''d love to be part of the amusement park project. I''ll do everything I can to convince Mr. Calix to move. Please, give me this chance."
Dn sipped his coffee, his voice cool and calm. "Don''t let it happen again."
ra suddenly recalledst night. He seemed to turn his head and murmur, "Don''t do that." Oh no! She felt like a total mess!
"I''m really sorry. I''ll head over to that old hospital right away to try and sort things out for you, Mr. Dn. Also, I noticed you have dark circles under your eyes. Did you not sleep wellst night? I can help you have a good night''s rest again tonight."
Dn hesitated, as if he was considering it, but then held back.
ra quickly made a promise. "I have no intentions towards you, Mr. Dn. If I did, then may the heavens..."
Before she could finish, he cut her off, "Stop." It felt like someone squeezed her throat, so she quickly shut up. "Shall I head to the site then?"
"Yes." Just as she finished speaking, Simon burst in without even a knock. Seeing him was enough to give ra a headache. This guy was about to marry Quinn. Shouldn''t he be busy with wedding prep? Why was he popping up here so often?
"ra!" Simon''s voice was urgent as he pulled her aside. ra took a deep breath, ready to shake him off, but Simon firmly held her shoulders. "ra, listen to me. Stay away from Dn. Your lips weren''t swollen from an allergyst night; it''s because he kissed you!"
ra felt like a lightning bolt had hit her brain. Once she processed his words, she pped him. Simon had just reached the top floor and heard ra was in the CEO''s office. His reasoning flew out the window.
He couldn''t dodge in time and got a solid p on the cheek. ra put her all into it, and her palm turned red from the impact. She was shaking with anger, her breathing quick and sharp.
Last night was already humiliating enough in front of Dn. His reluctance was written all over his face, and he clearly didn''t want to touch her. Now Simon was spouting nonsense here, making her even more embarrassed.
Simon rubbed his cheek and seemed to regain hisposure. "You hit me?"
ra took a deep breath, her smile more of a grimace. "Shouldn''t you be nning your wedding? I thought you were on leave."
Simon pressed his lips together, his eyes reddening, but he knew he''d been impulsive. He nced at Dn, who was calmly focused on his paperwork, not even phased by Simon''s outburst.
Simon gritted his teeth. Last night, Dn had bragged about the unloved being the true intruder. ''What a joke!'' He was so mad he wanted to curse, but he was terrified of Dn.
His face flushed with restraint, and he suddenly spoke in a raspy voice, "I have something really important to tell you, ra. This time, it''s seriously important."
ra didn''t want to hear it. Every time, it was just pointless chatter. "Simon, I''m not interested. I''ve got important work to do, and this is the CEO''s office-a ce for business. Barging in without knocking is really rude."
She finished speaking and turned to Dn. "Mr. Dn, shall I go now?"
"Yes."
A hint of relief crossed her face. She was worried Dn might be upset by Simon''s earlierments, so she quickly added, "Thank you, Mr. Dn, for giving me this chance. I won''t let you down."
Simon was irked again. "What opportunity? What are you doing for him? ra, I''m genuinely trying to help you this time. I believe you really lost your memory. There are so many things you haven''t remembered yet, you..."
He wanted to continue, but ra didn''t even want to listen and walked straight out. Simon watched her leave, clenching his fists, then turned to Dn.
Dn didn''t even blink and continued flipping a page in his document. Simon found Dn''s passive stance unbearable, and he couldn''t take it anymore. "Are you done pretending?"
