After collecting my thoughts, I picked up the USB drive and stepped out the door. Since my car was at the shop for repairs, I decided to call a cab to reach Kylian's office.
When I handed him the USB drive, I had to act as if everything was perfectly normal—even though it was more difficult than I had anticipated.
Just as I was about to leave, Kylian suddenly grasped my hand, his expression warm and affectionate. "It's wonderful to have you here, sweetheart," he said.
At that moment, his colleague, Palmer, happened to pass by and, with a mischievous grin, quipped, "Are we spreading the love today?"
I discreetly withdrew my hand and mustered a smile. "I have plans to go shopping with Haven," I said, trying to stay composed. "I should be heading out."
Kylian nodded slightly and playfully tousled my hair with a smile. "Off you go," he said.
