At that moment, Dulcie was deeply engrossed in her work,pletely unaware of the subtle shift in Kysons expression.


    After an hour of meticulous organization, she finally sorted all the files, her body lightly covered in sweat.


    Mr.


    Shaw, Ive finished sorting the files, she announced.


    Observing the neatly arranged piles on the floor, Kyson couldnt suppress a chuckle.


    He covered his mouth with his hand and lightly said, You can go now.


    Huh? What? Just like that? Wasnt he going to check her work? Surprise and a touch of resignation filled Dulcies eyes. Was this task not urgent after all? Catching the barely suppressed smile on Kysons face, she realized she had been tricked.


    He had done this on purpose, just to see her struggle! Despite understanding his motive, Dulcie didnt protest.


    Being a rtively powerless assistant, she could only exited the office quietly.


    She hadnt rested all afternoon.


    Returning to her desk, she copsed into her chair, exhausted.


    As days turned into weeks, Dulcie grew ustomed to her role as the CEOs assistant, enduring Kysons asional pranks and yful teasing, each day bringing a new sense of resilience.


    The more time she spent with him, the more her initial fear diminished.


    She even began to respond to his teases. She found herself enjoying the job and their interactions.


    I made you a cappino, Mr.


    Shaw.


    Please try it and see if you like it, she offered one morning, cing the coffee on his desk with a hint of mischief, and then quickly left the room.


    Dulcie! Just as she closed the office door, Kysons incredulous shout echoed from inside.


    She had dared to put salt in his cappino! Her audacity was growing.


    Outside, Dulcie stuck out her tongue.


    After all his pranks, a small jest of her own seemed fair. Though Kyson was momentarily irritated, he couldnt help but appreciate the liveliness she brought to his day-life was indeed better with a bit of fun and excitement.


    Now, Dulcie no Longer shrank away from him as if he were a predator and she the prey.


    Gradually, the dynamics between them shifted.


    Dulcie started to see him not just as a demanding boss but as someone with a genuine human side.


    She also noticed a change in Kysons attitude toward her, marking a new phase in their rtionship.


    Dulcies confidence was growing.


    As dusk fell, Kyson wrapped up his tasks and approached Dulcie.
