Determined not to forfeit her first monthâs salary, she increased her typing speed, focusing solely on her work and tuning out his presence.
Her efforts paid off as she became more efficient.
Kyson glanced over her shoulder briefly, his gaze inexplicably fixated on her ear.
Earlier, he had guided her hands and made corrections, their proximity causing his cheek to Lightly brush against her ear.

A peculiar sensation stirred within him.
Aware of his distraction, he adopted a colder demeanor.
âFinish it quickly and go to bed.
Youâre hopeless.
The most clueless person Iâve ever encountered.
What kind of life did you have in Tuborg? You donât even know how to operate a computer.
â
He muttered his reprimand under his breath, turned away impatiently, and retreated to the study window for a cigarette.
Dulcie ignored him, focusing intently on the keyboard to prevent any opportunity for him to criticize and dock her pay.
Nighttime always seemed to slip away quickly.
Kyson smoked two cigarettes and then settled onto the sofa, occupied with his phone.
Before long, two hours had slipped by.
Meanwhile, on a live streaming app, Noelle, acting as a team manager, supervised her teamâs progress in a competition.
Kyson observed the live broadcast of the game, finding himself somewhat intrigued by the competitive game.
Glancing over at Dulcie, still typing diligently, he estimated she had a while left on the contract.
Curious, he downloaded the game himself to give it a try.
Unaware of the passage of time, he remained in the study with Dulcie rather than retiring to the bedroom.
It was one oâclock in the morning.
Upon typing the final line, Dulcie pressed Enter, successfully finishing the âspecial taskâ Kyson had assigned her.
Extended periods of sitting and typing left her feeling exhausted.
She felt the ache in her shoulders and back, rubbing her neck and shoulders to ease the pain.
From the corner of her eye, she noticed him sitting on the sofa, absorbed in his phone.
She was taken aback.
âHe hasnât left? Heâs been here with me all this time?â she muttered.
A warm feeling spread through her.
Late into the night, with the entire family asleep, he chose to stay beside her instead of retiring to bed.
He actually did this for her.
Dulcie surmised that he likely had some feelings for her.
