Megan nodded and headed to the kitchen. ra sat down next to Dn and took her time sterilizing his silverware with hot water. To break the awkward silence, she decided to strike up a conversation.


    "Mr. Dn, have you been sleeping bettertely? I noticed those dark circles are almost gone. Did you find a better sleeping pill?”


    Dn did look much healthier these days, and his usual aloof vibe seemed to have eased a bit. He nced at the bowl she nudged toward him and gave a simple, "Mmm."


    ra thought it was nearly impossible to have a real chat with him since his responses were usually just grunts. Just then, Megan brought out the food.


    ra noticed there were eight dishes, which seemed a bit much, so she tried to get Megan to join them. But Megan shot a quick look at Dn and declined.


    "No, thanks. I don''t think Mr. Dn would be toofortable with that."


    ra suddenly remembered how Dn liked his meals in small portions, even at the Ferguson family estate, where everyone used serving utensils first. She had missed that detail.


    Quickly, she used a clean fork to serve him some food in a small dish and looked at him warmly. "Is this okay?"


    Dn stayed silent, so ra bravely pulled Megan to sit with them.


    Megan ate cautiously, taking tiny bites, and whenever her eyes met Dn''s, she quickly looked away. ra got it; Dn''s presence was a bit intimidating.


    Especially since Megan worked at Moonlight, where Dn was a top client, she couldn''t afford to be too familiar. The meal was pretty quiet, and when ra saw Dn eating slowly, she hurried to pour him a ss of juice.


    "Mr. Dn, care for some juice? I heard the owner squeezed it himself."


    Dn epted the ss from her. Their fingers brushed slightly as she handed it over, and ra jerked back, nearly dropping it. Dn frowned, as if questioning her reaction.


    ra quickly exined, "I just worry my boyfriend might get upset. Even though he listens to me, he''s not easily calmed."


    Megan''s eyes widened with surprise and a hint of joy. "ra, did you get back with Simon? I thought you couldn''t let him go, but isn''t he getting married?"


    "It''s not Simon," ra replied calmly. "If the chancees, I''ll introduce him. He''s just not into socializing right now."


    Megan was thrilled, her eyes shining. "That''s wonderful! As long as you''re happy, that''s what matters."


    The rest of the meal passed in silence. After ra saw Dn to his car, Megan pulled her aside for a chat.


    "ra, is your boyfriend from the Ferguson family?"


    "No, he''s just a waiter."


    Megan paused for a moment, a bit awkwardly. "Oh, I see. As long as you''re happy. Hey, I''ve got some free timetely. We should go shopping. It''s been forever, and you could grab something for your boyfriend. He might appreciate it, and it could bring you closer."


    ra hadn''t thought about this before. Maybe she hadn''t been paying enough attention to him, which could be why he felt insecure. If she bought him more things, maybe he''d sense her sincerity. She was serious about him this time; otherwise, she wouldn''t have gone along with his whims.


    ra''s thoughts were straightforward: if she didn''t like someone, she wouldn''t get intimate.
