When they arrived at a café, they chose to sit in the corner by the large window overlooking a small garden. The waiter came over and Rafael immediately ordered two coffees, a vanilla latte for Aurora and an espresso for himself.

"How did you know about this place?" Aurora asked as the cups were placed in front of her.

"I already told you, I know everything," Rafael said, staring at his own cup. "So... don't pretend in front of me."

Aurora lifted her face and looked at Rafael with slightly teary eyes. "I... I'm not pretending. You don't know anything about me, Rafael."

Rafael nodded slowly. "Well then... let's see if I really don't know anything about you."

Aurora smiled, this time more sincerely. She took her coffee cup and sipped slowly, inhaling the sweet vanilla aroma that immediately brought a sense of comfort. "It tastes so good."

"Because you do like everything that's good, Aurora."

They spent nearly two hours at the café, enjoying coffee, sweet sn

    The bonfire was still burning, flickering as if it wanted to dance along with the song that had just ended. Aurora and Kevin were still standing near the microphone, their smiles lingering as applause filled the air. But at the edge of the fire, someone suddenly stood up.Rafael.With a sudden motion, he threw his crutch into the sand. A few people fell silent. The previously relaxed faces started turning, watching Rafael's slow, limping movements as he made his way toward the microphone Kevin had just left, full of determination."Rafael-" Aurora almost stepped forward but froze at Rafael's glance, which silently begged, "let me."One step. Two steps. Rafael let out a low groan, his sprained leg clearly not healed. But he kept going, even as his shoulders trembled slightly from the strain. Everyone fell silent now, watching the dramatic moment like the climax scene of a romantic movie.Once he reached the microphone, Rafael took a deep breath and lifted his head

    Night fell gently, bringing with it a gentle sea breeze and the scent of burning wood from the large bonfire in the middle of the dining area. Hanging lamps swayed gently among the trees, creating a dim light that made the atmosphere feel warm and relaxed. Acoustic music flowed from the corner of the small stage, filling the air with soothing rhythms.Some employees began to gather around the bonfire. Some sat in a circle, laughing as they held roasted corn. Others danced on the sand, singing along to the music being played. The atmosphere felt carefree, as if all the burdens of work and the pressures of routine had melted away in the warmth of the night.Aurora stood near the villa window, watching the crowd from afar. Her ears picked up the sound of singing and familiar laughter."Come on, let's go over there," she said, turning to Rafael, who was sitting on the sofa with his left leg in a white cast and a cane by his side.Rafael looked up, his hazel eyes half-lazy. "I'm good here.

    Kevin finally turned his head, staring at Valery in surprise, but also amused. "Are you serious?"Valery shrugged as if it were no big deal. "Serious. But after seeing them earlier, I realized... it seems difficult."She leaned slightly toward Kevin, her voice lowering to a soft but sharp tone. "Unless... you want to work with me."Kevin narrowed his eyes. "What do you mean?""Keep those two apart," Valery said lightly, as if she were just suggesting a new game. "Aurora and Rafael. You want Aurora, right? I want Rafael. But as long as they stay together, we'll just be spectators."Kevin shook his head slightly, scoffing. "You talk as if they can just be separated like that."Valery turned to him, her smile turning sly. "Every relationship has its flaws. We just need to find their weak points. They're dating secretly, Rafael is the boss, Aurora is the subordinate. There are plenty of opportunities to make them look unprofessional."Kevin fell silent, breathing heavily. His eyes returne

    The cheers grew louder.Aurora handed the baton to the third runner with precision, then stopped at the side of the track, her chest rising and falling rapidly, but a satisfied smile adorned her face. She turned to Rafael, who was standing a few meters ahead, still waiting for his turn.Their eyes met for a moment. No words were spoken, only enthusiastic glances.When the baton reached the fourth runner and was finally handed to the last runner, all eyes were on two people: Rafael and Kevin. They stood side by side, baton in hand, breathing heavily, legs slightly bent, ready to charge.No words were spoken, no glances exchanged.The whistle signaling the start for the final runner had not yet sounded, but the tension was already palpable.As soon as the signal was given, Rafael and Kevin sprinted off together. Sand flew again, footprints imprinted quickly. Rafael was slightly behind at first, but his body began to balance his stride. Kevin, who had lost three times in previous games,

    At the last second before the ball hit his face, Rafael's hand shot out quickly and caught the ball in one smooth motion. "CEO-level reflexes," Rafael muttered, raising his eyebrows, then threw the ball back onto the field. Laughter and applause erupted from the teammates watching. Kevin, who had been halfway through a sprint, stopped in his tracks and patted his chest, as if he had just narrowly escaped a major disaster. "Aurora," Kevin called out with a panicked expression. "Are you okay?" Aurora nodded, though her heart was still racing. "I'm fine. Rafael's reflexes saved me." Rafael shrugged casually. "It's your boyfriend's job, right?" he whispered softly, just loud enough for Aurora to hear. Aurora narrowed her eyes, giving him a warning glance. "Don't show off too much." "It's okay, they're used to it," Rafael replied lightly. "Or should we show them something more enjoyable?" Aurora chuckled, not wanting to get too caught up in the sweet conversation that made her hea

    Warm steam still filled the bathroom when the door slowly opened. Aurora stepped out with a white towel wrapped around her body. Her hair was wet, some strands clinging to her shoulders while others dripped onto the cold wooden floor.The villa room was silent. Rafael was no longer inside-perhaps preparing something outside. Aurora took a deep breath, savoring the quiet and the gentle sea breeze that drifted in through the open window. The scent of salt and the rhythmic sound of waves merged, creating a serenity that was hard to find amid office routines.She walked slowly toward her suitcase and unzipped it, pulling out a change of clothes linen shorts and a comfortable white short-sleeved T-shirt, perfect for the afternoon. Calmly, she dressed, letting the towel fall to the floor before slipping into the fresh clothes.Once she was done, her eyes caught sight of something hanging behind the closet door a navy blue sports T-shirt with the company logo boldly printed on the chest and
