"Have you figured out who he is? Is it true that he and Stella have known each other for a long time?" Marvin asked as he noticed Dariel entering his office."Yes, they've known each other for a while. It turns out he's a college friend of Keenan," Dariel said, sitting in the chair across from Marvin."Keenan's college friend?" Marvin asked, now looking at Dariel with a serious gaze, setting aside his enormous workload.Dariel nodded. "I looked into Delvin's identity and found out that he went to the same university as Keenan. So, I asked Keenan if he knew Delvin, and he confirmed that Delvin was indeed a friend from college. Stella knows Delvin because he used to visit her house often. Your wife has always been very sociable and talkative, so she got to know her brother’s friends well.""So they don’t have a special relationship, right? They're just friends?"Dariel nodded. "But...""But what?" Marvin asked."Before he left for Paris to pursue his master's degree and work there, he c

"Are you alone?" Marvin asked as he sat down in front of Emily, his voice flat but full of concern.Emily, who had been waiting for Marvin's arrival, pretended to be startled. "Mr. Marvin?" she called out nervously, though in her heart, she was dancing with joy. A small smile tugged at the corner of her lips, which she tried to hide. She hadn’t expected Marvin to approach her without needing to make the first move. Feeling her plan was going well, Emily was already prepared to advance to the next stage."Are you alone?" Marvin asked again, his voice sounding more relaxed this time as he began eating the food he had picked up earlier. "I’ve noticed you always eat alone."Emily smiled faintly. "Ah, yes, I’m not very close with the other employees," she replied, fiddling with the spoon in her hand. "I’m usually with Zaline, but I haven’t seen her since yesterday. Where is she, sir? Did you send her to work outside the office?" she asked curiously. She was genuinely curious about where Za

"Would you like to come in?" Emily asked politely."No, I’ll head straight home," Delvin replied. "Thank you for tonight. Honestly, I didn't expect us to get along so well."Emily’s heart suddenly began to race, pounding erratically as if it was about to leap out of her chest. "What? Ge–getting along?""I mean, I didn’t expect you to be so fun and not at all boring. Honestly, I was very reluctant to come to this dinner. I only came because Stella asked me to. My friends often introduce me to women, but they’ve all been so dull. That’s why I was hesitant about attending the dinner Stella and Marvin arranged. But it turns out, you’re not as bad as I imagined," Delvin said."Oh, really?" Emily asked, smiling shyly.Delvin mirrored her behavior, feeling the same awkwardness as Emily. For some reason, there was a strange feeling growing in his heart when he was around her."It's getting really late, Delvin. Go home. If you don’t mind, text me when you get home so I won’t worry," Emily sug

“Hurry up and get out. Why are you just sitting there?” Marvin asked Emily, who was still sitting beside him, even though the car he had been driving had stopped about five minutes ago.“Sir? Let’s just go back. I don’t know why, but suddenly my heart is racing. I think I need a doctor. I’ve never felt like this before,” Emily replied.The truth was, her heart was indeed pounding wildly. She felt strange, something she had never experienced before.“That’s a common thing for someone who’s in love, Emily.”“Huh?” Emily quickly turned to Marvin, who was sitting next to her, her eyes wide in surprise.“Why do you look so shocked?”“In love?” Emily asked, uncertain.“Yes, in love. I felt the same way when I fell in love with my wife. My heart would race like crazy, especially when I looked into her eyes,” Marvin explained. “What’s going on with you? Why do you seem so off? Weren’t you in love with him from the start? You said you fell in love at first sight.”Emily swallowed hard. “Yes, I

The rain poured down heavily, drenching the streets. Emily ran without hesitation, plunging into the downpour, not caring about the clothes clinging to her body."Delvin!" Emily called out in panic, her voice nearly drowned out by the torrential rain. Without a second thought, she knelt beside him, her eyes full of concern. "Are you okay, Delvin?" she asked, reaching out to help him up.Delvin looked up, rain dripping from the tips of his hair. His eyes held a trace of worry as he looked at Emily. "Why did you come out here? You're soaked, Emily," Delvin said.Emily shook her head firmly, despite the rain continuing to drench her face. "How could I just stay put seeing someone I care about fall in the middle of this storm? I'm worried! Come on, get up. Let me help you stand."Slowly, Delvin rose, feeling the warmth of Emily's hand that starkly contrasted with the cold rain.His eyes had been fixed on Emily all this time. He remained silent after hearing what Emily had just said.Emily
