As ra leaned in closer to talk to Dn, the soft scent of her hair drifted over to him, causing his eyshes to flutter against her palm. It tickled her a little.


    She took a deep breath, trying to shake off the strange feeling in her chest. "Close your eyes for a moment," she instructed.


    Expecting some pushback, ra was surprised when Dn actuallyplied without a fuss. Tonight, he seemed unusually cooperative. Given his status, people usually mored for his attention, and here he was, patient with her despite their worlds being so far apart.


    She moved quickly, turning on the lights and guiding him to where Sarah sat waiting.


    Sarah was on the couch, and when she saw Dn''s face, her eyes widened in awe. Is he even real? What happened to his legs? Are they permanently damaged? Though she felt a twinge of regret, she quickly reassured herself. With a face like that, even losing the use of his legs wouldn''t change how she felt. She''d dly take care of him, even if it meant being his caregiver for life.


    Nervously, she rubbed her sweaty palms together, watching as ra slipped out of the room and called back, "Mr. Dn, you can open your eyes now."


    Dn''s lips curled into a subtle smile, eyes sparkling with amusement. But as soon as his eyesnded on Sarah, that warmth turned to ice.


    Sarah felt her anxiety spike, thinking of how other women might try to win over a man. She gently nudged his leg with hers. "Hi, Mr. Dn, I''m Sarah."


    Her voice was shaky because just a moment ago, he''d seemed almost approachable, and now his smile was gone. Even without saying a word, his calm demeanor scared her, as if invisible snakes were slithering at her feet, ready to strike.


    ra had already shut the bedroom door and sat outside, feeling rather pleased with herself. Her smile lingered until Aiden entered the room.


    Aiden, concerned about how things were going, let himself in with his key card. Spotting ra in the living room, he quickly scanned the area. "Where''s the boss?"


    "He''s in the bedroom," ra replied softly, not wanting to disturb whatever was happening inside. She quickly pulled Aiden into the hallway.


    Aiden knew ra well before her memory loss and couldn''t fathom why the boss was so fixated on her. But since it was the boss''s choice, he didn''t argue.


    Once they were in the hallway, he couldn''t hold back anymore. "If the boss is in the bedroom, why are you out here?"


    ra was confused. Surely, she couldn''t just barge in on him? He was probably lost in memories of his past love, and she didn''t want to interrupt that.


    Seeing her confusion only made Aiden more uneasy. "What exactly did you do in the bedroom?"


    A chill ran down his spine.


    ra''s lips curled into a sly smile. "A stand-in, of course. He has a thing for thete Miss Dawson, right? I found someone who looks like her. It''s not perfect, but I have no other choice. I need to know about that piece ofnd."


    Aiden''s eyes widened in disbelief, and he almost wanted to shake some sense into her. "You!!!"


    He roughly shoved ra aside, his anger palpable.


    ra stumbled back against the wall, wincing at the pain, bewildered by Aiden''s reaction.


    Aiden hurried to the bedroom door, but just as he reached for the keypad, it swung open from the inside.


    Dn stood in the doorway, his face unreadable.


    Aiden''s worry was evident. "Boss, are you okay?"


    Dn, who had been staring at the floor, finally raised his eyes and locked them on ra.
