Brown glanced toward the glass cabinets but didn't see the girl. He couldn't hear her either. Just as he was about to stand, her voice suddenly rang out, filling the room.

"Sir, between me and these books, who do you think is more valuable?"

Seriously, what kind of answer are you expecting, Kylie?

Brown ignored her and went back to his work.

"Sir, if you don't answer, that means you picked me, right? Which means I'm more valuable than the books!"

She grinned, pumping her fist like she'd won something. But Brown still didn't react. If Kylie had only peeked, she would've caught the smile tugging at his lips as he stared at his screen.

Kylie sat cross-legged on the floor, instead of moving to the sofa, with two more books stacked across her lap.

"Sir, can I take these books home? I'll bring them back, I promise."

Silence. Absolute silence.

'Ugh, seriously? He won't even answer that?'

Running out of words, she chose to just focus on the book in her hands. Still, she secretly wished she co

    Kylie spoke carelessly, mostly to make Reegan stop and not bring up anything about Brown. "I beg you, stop contacting my mother."Reegan chuckled softly at what Kylie said."Yeah, you could do that. You even got called back to the company because of him, so moving divisions is nothing. If you wanted, you could even ask the president to transfer me-you've got his support. That powerful man who has everything." His hurt feelings revealed a childish streak.'What! Is this really the Reegan I know?'"Me? I'm just someone who can only watch your back, back then and even now. Your back as it moves away and leaves." His bitter voice filled the car.Kylie stayed silent, not answering him, until they reached the parking area.'Sorry, senior. Forgive me.' Kylie murmured softly, because she knew exactly how it felt-watching the back of someone you like walk away.The honk of a car startled Kylie just as she closed the door. She was rendered even

    Kylie kept patting Brown’s shoulders repeatedly as they walked out. She bumped into a cardboard box on the way past the porch. The fresh air hit them instantly, and both let out a slow, relieved breath. Kylie patted him again.“Hansel! You’re so cruel, do you know how scared I was when you let go of my hand? I thought it was all over.”Their steps stopped on the grassy yard. Brown bent down slightly, matching Kylie’s gaze."Don’t you trust me at all? It makes me sad." He put on a sad expression, the same one he used when trying to tease her.“It’s not like that!” Kylie lowered her head. “You know, I’ve always watched your back as you walked away without looking back. It… it scared me. If…”“Sorry.”“But it’s okay, right? You even knelt in front of Dad and Mom.” Though not visible, Kylie suspected it must have hurt Brown’s

    Brown slowly knelt down, bowing his head. Aside from Mr. Alexander, he had never bowed to anyone before.Even just seeing him like that was enough to show the weight of his regret and guilt-things that words could never fully express. For a man who had never lowered his head to anyone, this was him bringing his pride down to its very lowest point.Kylie was stunned speechless. Her father and mother were equally shocked.Her father immediately stood from the sofa and walked toward Brown, who was kneeling on the floor. Her mother also rose to her feet, clearly flustered.They all thought the same thing-when Brown had let go of Kylie's hand and stood up earlier, they believed he would leave, just as her mother demanded.That would've made sense. His pride wasn't something he could so easily cast aside-not to the point of lowering his head to anyone. So of course, everyone thought he would walk away."Son, don't do this," her father said awkward

    Her mother wouldn't give her blessing that easily. Kylie knew that.No matter how many gifts Assistant Brown brought, they couldn't erase the traces of tears her mother had once shed for her.Even though her mother had picked up a broom bearing a brand logo that Kylie could never afford, she guessed her mother didn't even know how much it was worth. She had probably just grabbed the one that looked the fanciest among all the designs.'That broom must cost a year of my salary, Mom,' Kylie thought, though it was only a guess-she didn't actually know the real price.Now, they were inside the house. The home that usually felt spacious despite its modest size suddenly seemed tight and suffocating. Kylie felt like opening every window just to make sure there was enough oxygen for everyone sitting in the living room. Her lungs fought for air with every breath.'Why does this feel so tense all of a sudden?'Her mother still wore that cold, unwelcomi

    "Babe, are you okay?" Kylie gently touched Brown's wrist. It was red and sore, though not bleeding. "That must've hurt."Brown leaned in, lowering his voice close to her ear. "You promised not to protect me with your body again."A chill ran down Kylie's spine. When she glanced at him nervously, Brown was smiling-at her mother. The same smile he'd worn that night.'Mom, please stop. My heart is about to burst out of my chest!'"I'm sorry, ma'am," Brown said calmly. "I didn't mean to break your broom earlier. I was only holding it."'Holding it? You snapped it in half!'Kylie stepped closer to her mother and lightly touched her trembling shoulder. She kicked the broken broom away from her foot.'Go away, you cursed broom!'The air was thick with tension. Her mother grabbed Kylie's arm and pulled her behind her protectively. Though she'd been startled by the broom incident, she wasn't about to back down. Not when her daughter was

    The weekend had come around again before Kylie even realized it. Time sometimes seemed to move in rhythm with her mood. Inside her cozy home, warmth filled every corner, along with the love shared between family members.Kylie had completely distanced herself from Reegan. Even her coworkers teased that they must've had a falling-out. She didn't care. After his sudden confession of love-and his insistence that she break up with Brown-her admiration for him had gradually faded.Reegan was still a good man, but after everything they'd been through, Kylie decided it was best to stay away. That way, she could always remember him as the kind, respectable man he once was."I don't want to talk about Reegan anymore!"Her mother finally fell silent after Kylie said that firmly."I already turned him down, so please, Mom, don't get your hopes up again."'This girl, honestly,' her mother grumbled inwardly, but she decided to let it go for now and went
