“Tin not taking a bath, I just want to sleep.” Myra said, getting up, but then she froze when she saw the paused screen on my phone. She pouted. “You’re so heartless.”


    I smiled at her gently, like a doting mother. “Be good. Once you finish your work and get some time off, you can watch it


    24/7


    Myra huffed but, as she walked to the bedroom, she called out, “Josh wants you to go to his room.”


    “Mm,” I murmured, already hearing that part.


    “I suddenly realized Josh isn’t cute anymore. I’m switching from fan to hater,” Myra said, making meugh. It seemed like she’d been doing a lot of running around for Josh today.


    But I knew Josh was always kind to me, and with his upright, no-nonsense personality, he’d never treat Myra any differently


    than me.


    Still, I waited another twenty minutes before heading to Josh’s room.


    He had asked me to wait ten minutes, probably because he was showering and changing.


    As expected, when I knocked on his door, Josh opened it with wet hair and wearing loose,fortable clothes, along with hotel slippers.


    “Come in,” he said with just those three words.


    I noticed hisptop was open. Walking over, I went straight to the point. “Is there a new issue?”


    “The document I need you to look at is on the desktop. Open it and check,” Josh said just as the kettle whistled.


    I sat down, opened hisptop, and was immediately hit with a surprise-his desktop was filled with documents. I had expected it to be neat and clean, but I was wrong.


    Luckily, I didn’t have a fear of clutter, or I’d be dizzy by now.


    With so many documents, I had no choice but to ask, “Which one?”


    Josh pointed to onebeled “YLC.”


    I searched the screen, but after a full scan, I couldn’t find it.


    “Josh, I can’t find it,” I turned to him.


    He was busy brewing coffee, and the rich aroma hit my nose.


    “I’ll take a look,” he said, but then his phone rang. He nced at the caller ID and said, “Just wait a minute.”


    I nodded, using the time to search again.


    As I scanned the screen, I could hear Josh’s conversation, though I couldn’t catch the other side of it. I only heard him say, “We signed the agreement. I won’t ept any changes, and there’s no room for negotiation… Hmm, nopromise.”


    The phone call was quick, and before I could finish scanning all the documents, Josh came over with a cup of coffee. He set it down beside me. “Here, for you.”


    “Thanks,” I said, feeling a bit awkward as Josh’s arm suddenly went around me in a half-embrace. He pointed to a file on the


    screen.


    “It’s this one.”


    His voice was low and smooth, and his proximity made my head swim. I could almost feel his chin brushing against my forehead. The slightest movement would make our faces collide.


    The scent of soap mixed with shampoo was intoxicating, clean and crisp.


    In that moment, I felt like my blood was heating up, my body turning to molten warmth. Everything around me seemed to blur, and my mind went nk.


    “Open it. I’ll exin it to you,” Josh said, noticing I hadn’t moved.


    I quickly grabbed the mouse and clicked the file open. But at that exact moment, I couldn’t find the one he had just pointed


    out.


    “This one,” his hand covered mine, guiding me to the file. Then, he clicked it twice, and the document appeared.


    But the words on the screen werepletely blurred to me. Everything I could feel-every sense-was overtaken by Josh. 1 didn’t even hear his voice properly.


    Until he asked, “Do you understand?”


    “No,” I replied, shifting slightly to the side. “Josh, you’re too close.”
