Simon froze, his whole body going stiff as his face turned pale. ra picked up the clothes from the ground and tossed them back to him. "These clothes cost a fortune. Try not to waste them. Everything you''re spending ising from the Ferguson family, and you haven''t even started earning your own money yet."


    Her words hit him like a punch to the gut, wiping out thest trace of color from his face. Holding the clothes tightly, he turned away, feeling defeated. As he opened the car door, he couldn''t help but ask, his eyes burning, "ra, who is your boyfriend? Can I at least meet him?"


    He just needed to know what hecked. Even if he was a failure, could he really be worse than a waiter? ra just closed her eyes. "Why do you want to meet him? He doesn''t like meeting people."


    A waiter who avoids people? Yeah, right. He probably looks awful and doesn''t want to embarrass ra. But ra was never short of handsome guys around her. Even her younger brother Ryan was quite the looker.


    Simon got into the car, mming the door shut. He was determined to find out who this so-called boyfriend was.


    After he left, ra waited until nine when Dn''s car finally arrived. She didn''t even bother to call out, knowing he was probably still upset. The car stopped in front of her, and a voice came through the slightly open window. "Get in."


    ra was taken aback for a moment but quickly opened the door and got in. She was chilled to the bone, and the warmth inside the car made her shiver slightly as she rubbed her hands together.


    Dn''s eyes stayed glued to the documents on hisp, not even ncing at her. But ra noticed the dark circles under his eyes had deepened. Though they didn''t take away from his good looks, they made him look worn out.


    The car pulled into the main residence at Palm Bay. She got out first, opening the door for him. Dn was wheeled into the study without a word, leaving ra unsure of how to break the silence.


    She sat next to him, quietly organizing his papers until Aiden came in, holding a bottle of medicine. "Sir, this was shipped overnight from overseas."


    Dn acknowledged him with a grunt, took the bottle, and swallowed a pill with some water. ra was curious. Was it for insomnia? It didn''t look like a sleeping pill.


    She quickly followed Aiden out into the hallway, grabbing his arm. "Aiden, is that for insomnia?"


    Aiden turned cold again, brushing her hand off. "That''s none of your concern, Ms. ra."


    ra admitted her mistake, "Is Mr. Dn''s insomnia worse than before?"


    Aiden let out a bitterugh, "Thanks to your little gift, Ms. ra."


    Guilt washed over ra. Maybe seeing his past love''s face had upset Dn, making it even harder for him to sleep. She bit her lip, feeling like she was to me.


    Despite everything, Dn hadn''t said a word against her, while she''d been petty about the ind incident. Taking a deep breath, she suggested, "There''s an alternative medicine expert in my dad''s hometown. I''d like to take Mr. Dn there."


    "Ms. ra, that''s not necessary. I can''t trust you anymore."


    ra''s cheeks flushed with embarrassment as she lowered her gaze. "Ryan told me I was sickly until I was eight. No one really saw me until that expert in my dad''s hometown helped me get better."


    "So, Ms. ra, you''re not even sure, but you want to drag the boss on a wild


    goose chase? Do you know how much he makes in a minute?"


    ra was at a loss for words, realizing her mistake. "Then I''ll go to the countryside myself to get the medicine."
