Daniel froze when he heard that. Then, he looked at Ryan in confusion.Goosebumps spread all over Ryan's skin. "Why are you looking at me like that? If you have something to say, spit it out."A light chuckle came from Daniel. He decided to set aside his tasks for now. His warm voice rang out. "You've got a reputation for being nice to all women, regardless of their looks. What's with the sudden insult toward Jessica today? Have you gone through some kind of epiphany?"Ryan couldn't help but chuckle, too. "Yes, I'm kind to women of all appearances. But that doesn't mean I'll still be nice if they're mean to others."That was his indirect way of saying Jessica wasn't a nice woman.Daniel twirled his pen between his fingers but didn't refute his claims. If this had happened in the past, he would've already defended Jessica. However, various truths had surfaced before him. Besides, he wasn't an idiot who couldn't differentiate between right and wrong.Ryan knew from Daniel's reactio

"Alright! It's done. Ms. B, how's your side going?"Markus was making a simple pasta.He added some meatballs to add flavor to it.It would be a great addition to an otherwise usual meal.Despite the big portion, they would be able to finish it in no time. Thanks to Rebecca, the kitchen staff had been gaining weight lately. They were always running out of ingredients for staff meals.By the time he finished his part and plated it nicely, Rebecca was almost done with her dish. "I'm done. Let's bring them to him."She made a local dish from Liam's hometown—lemon chicken. Although he had settled down in Riverwood, he had worked in his hometown at the beginning of his career.Still, he could never get enough of the local cuisine.Even after he moved to Riverwood, he frequented Four Seasons to enjoy some local delicacies with Markus.Markus had suggested she make lemon chicken. That way, Rebecca might be able to move Liam by conjuring his memories of his hometown.Taking Liam'

Daniel was fast. Noticing that Rebecca was going to fall into the fountain, he hurriedly pulled her into his arms.Before she could regain her balance, he asked in concern, "Are you alright? How could you fall without tripping? Are you that careless, Rebecca?"He chided her as she steadied herself.When anger was rushing through her blood, she couldn't care less about the stinging pain in her ankle."You're the one to talk. Who scared me by showing up behind me? "If you're mad, please meet a doctor at the hospital alongside your fiancé. Don't take it out on me." She shoved him away, wanting to leave.However, she had underestimated the severity of her injury.She felt pain the moment she raised her leg. As a result, she could not regain her footing and fell again.Daniel managed to catch her. Ignoring her hurtful remarks, he held her still by the waist and examined her ankle.He didn't know how she injured herself so badly that her white sock was now tinged red. The color was

Daniel took a step forward while fixing his eyes on Rebecca.Only then did she manage to fish the car keys out of his pocket. When the car keys chimed, he wrapped both arms around her waist.He was pinning her to the car door.This position was somehow intimate."Daniel, you …" Rebecca gulped. She watched him vigilantly while clutching the car keys.It took her a second before she said, "The car … It's unlocked …"Daniel stared into her eyes for a moment before raising his head.He took a step back expressionlessly. "Open the door."His tone was cold, as if someone had offended him.She frowned as she was sure she didn't do anything besides take the car keys out of his pocket.She had done that at his request. All she did was grumble. Thus, she assumed that he was being petty and that he couldn't stand her trivial complaints.Rebecca opened the car door so Daniel could place her in the passenger seat. Following that, he crouched next to her feet instead of walking away

The door had already swung shut. Daniel had left.Carl stared at the door with wide eyes. "What the hell? He's leaving just like that?"Rebecca chuckled behind him. "You mentioned that Jessica's downstairs, right? He must've gone to see his future wife. What's the point of staying here?"Carl turned to give her a complicated look. She stood up from his seat with her smile still in place. "If you're not busy, could you give me a tetanus shot?"You can also ask a nurse to do it for me. I still have work, so I can't hang around here for long. Sorry to trouble—" Rebecca hissed in pain.Her injury wasn't serious, but it still hurt when she placed pressure on it. She hadn't stood up since getting injured, so it hadn't occurred to her earlier.She yelped in pain and fell sideways."Your leg's injured? Has it been bandaged yet?" Carl subconsciously held out an arm to help her. Unfortunately, there was some distance between them, so he didn't manage to catch her.Luckily, Rebecca steadi
