Tara smiled faintly. “You’ve barely gone through something like this, and you’re already acting like you’re the one suffering the most.”Kara frowned. “What’s that supposed to mean?”“Nothing.” Tara gave a small shrug as she rose to her feet. “I was just wondering… what would happen if the things you love suddenly disappeared from your life?”Kara’s expression shifted instantly. “What are you talking about?”Before Tara could answer, the doorbell rang.Ding.Kara turned toward the sound. “Who is that?”Tara only lifted her shoulders slightly, unconcerned. It wasn’t her place, after all. She let Kara handle whoever stood outside.“Tara,” Kara called out, her voice raised halfway between confusion and irritation. “They say they’re here to see you? That they have something to deliver to you? Wh

“In that case, I’ll excuse myself. You still want the Neo Group progress report, don’t you?”Adrian let out a long breath. “Yes. Bring it to me as soon as possible.”Tara nodded obediently and turned to leave his office. The sound of her steps grew lighter the moment she stepped outside, her chest filling with a quiet, spreading sense of satisfaction. A faint smirk flickered across her lips as she recalled how Adrian had been left with no ground to stand on in front of Gilbert.She had no idea why Gilbert had come unannounced this afternoon. Usually, he would inform them beforehand. But it didn’t matter. That wasn’t her concern. What mattered was this, ensuring that, little by little, Adrian began to lose his footing. This was only the beginning. Just a small fragment of what should have been hers all along.A few staff members who passed by greeted her politely, and now and then, Tara returned the greetings

“What are you doing?”Tara nearly dropped the plate as she reached for the sunny-side-up eggs she had just finished cooking. Victor’s sudden appearance that morning genuinely startled her. She hadn’t expected to see him looking so... relaxed. Like he had just come back from the gym, with a light sheen of sweat on his skin, damp strands of hair falling slightly over his forehead, and his breathing still faintly uneven.“Cooking?” Tara gave him a small grin, though it carried a hint of awkwardness when she noticed him already sitting at one of the chairs, watching her with visible curiosity. “Do you... mind if I make a mess in the kitchen?”“No,” Victor replied with a quiet laugh. “Why would I mind?” He shifted slightly in his seat. “You just didn’t answer my question properly.”“I’m cooking... well, no, I’m making breakfast.” Tara frowned inwardly, completely confused by what he meant. She was certain she had answered him correctly, so why was he acting as though she hadn’t? “Would you

Adrian gave a small shake of his head. “Why would I?”Kara smiled in satisfaction.And perhaps because of that answer, her touch wandered farther across Adrian’s stomach, slow and teasing enough to draw a quiet breath from him before her hand finally settled on a far more sensitive spot.“You’re already hard?” she whispered with a pleased smile.“Your touch drives me crazy, Darling,” Adrian murmured, making no attempt whatsoever to stop her.“I don’t want you thinking about her for even a second.”“As if that’s possible,” Adrian replied, though the answer came out far too quickly.Kara didn’t question it. Instead, her smile deepened. Her fingers moved more boldly now, making Adrian’s breathing gradually grow heavier.“Forget about her,” Kara whispered. “Focus on me.”And Adrian obeyed.He let Kar

The question came so suddenly that Tara almost smiled at it.There was no fear in her expression when she answered.“I’ll face the consequences.”Victor glanced at her briefly before giving a faint nod. “You’re starting to act more boldly now.”Tara stayed quiet for quite a while before finally speaking again.“It’s not that I’m suddenly becoming bolder.” Her voice was calm but firm. “This mistake genuinely wasn’t mine. I was only following orders. I already tried to contact him and confirm everything, but there was no response. Is that still my fault?”Victor smiled faintly. “No. You did nothing wrong, Tara.”“In that case...” Tara turned to look directly at him, her gaze unwavering, completely free of hesitation. She had clearly thought this through carefully. Tara had no intention of wasting the opportunity in front of her. “
