11:07I pressed the key fob.
11:09Not far off, a black luxury sedan lit up.
11:12I paused.
11:12Walked a full circle around the car first.
11:14Only then did I open the door and slide into the driver's seat.
11:17I buckled my seat belt and reached up to adjust the rear view mirror.
11:20The next second, through the mirror, I saw a man sitting in the back seat.
11:22His eyes right closed.
11:23He looked cold, but with an edge of laziness underneath.
11:26Like he'd been drinking.
11:27My mind went blank.
11:28Almost instantly, I clapped a hand over the rear view mirror.
11:30A hallucination.
11:31It had to be a hallucination.
11:32That's what I told myself.
11:33Then I couldn't help it.
11:34I peeked through the gap between my fingers.
11:36In the mirror, the man had opened his eyes.
11:38Those dark, unreceivable eyes were fixed on me.
11:40I nearly stopped breathing on the spot.
11:42My hands locked onto the steering wheel.
11:43It was too late to open the door and get out now.
11:46He'd probably think I was trying to steal the car.
11:48So I forced myself to speak, keeping my voice low.
11:51Mr. Ashfield.
11:52Assistant Charlie wasn't feeling well.
11:54He asked me to drive the car to the shuttle area.
11:55I didn't know you were inside.
11:58He looked at me for a few seconds.
11:59Then withdrew his gaze and gave a faint response.
12:02And immediately closed his eyes again.
12:03I let out a small breath of relief.
12:05But before I could fully exhale, another problem hit me.
12:08I turned the key over in my hand, searching for a slot.
12:10How could I start to find one?
12:11Sweat was practically beating on my forehead.
12:13You can't drive.
12:14At that instant, his voice came from the back seat.
12:17I sat bolt upright.
12:19I was caught between a nod and a shake.
12:21In the end, I mumbled, a little.
12:23The truth was, I could drive an ordinary car.
12:26But I'd never so much as touch the car like this.
12:28When I get nervous, I pick at my fingers.
12:30That habit stayed with me all these years.
12:32Now my mind was blank, and my fingers had already twisted together on their own.
12:36Mr. Ashford, I...
12:37Before I could finish, I realized his gaze had dropped to my hands.
12:40A chill went down my back.
12:42I moved to pull my hands away, but he had already looked off out the window.
12:45His throat bobbed once.
12:46The car suddenly fell quiet.
12:47I secretly took out even finished typing.
12:49A shadowed lookup had us down at my side.
12:51That faint woody scent wrapped around me in an instant.
12:53Press you.
12:54His voice was right against me.
12:56His warm breath grazed past my ear.
12:57My whole body went rigid.
12:58Too close.
12:59Close enough that I could feel the heat coming off him.
13:01Close enough that I didn't dare to breathe.
13:02But Julian only stayed there a few seconds.
13:04Then, as if nothing had happened, he leaned back into his seat.
13:06His expression was perfectly calm.
13:07Like he really had just wanted to show me how to start the car.
13:10I barely managed to steady myself, and started the car the way he'd showed me.
13:14The whole drive, neither of us said another word.
13:16Finally, we reached the shuttle area.
13:18I unbuckled my seatbelt almost instantly.
13:21Without waiting for him to respond, I pushed the door open and got out.
13:24Turned and hurried off.
13:27I never noticed the gaze that stayed fixed on my back the whole time.
13:31That didn't move for a long while.
13:33That night, I had a whole night of restless, tangled dreams.
13:37Early the next morning, I splashed some water on my face and headed back to the ship.
13:41Two dark circles under my eyes.
13:43The moment I stepped onto the staff training deck, I saw Chloe, who was supposed to be up on the
13:48top deck,
13:49sitting in the middle of the crowd, laughing happily.
13:52Yes, Julian told me to come back down for now.
13:54Her voice was still soft, her makeup still flawless.
13:57He said since I'm new I shouldn't stay up on the top deck the whole time,
14:00that I should at least get to know the people down here first.
14:03He even said he was worried I'd have trouble settling in on my own.
14:06Just as she said it, her eyes landed on me.
14:08She got up at once, came over all warmly, and linked her arm through mine.
14:12Nina, I'm back! Aren't you happy to see me?
14:13The moment she talked to me in that tone, I knew she was looking to make me the story again.
14:18I hadn't slept well the night before to begin with.
14:20The thought had barely surfaced when I'd already pulled my arm back on instinct.
14:24Everything around us went quiet. No one spoke.
14:26Chloe was still smiling at me. Only her eyes had gone a shade colder.
14:30Thankfully, the supervisor walked in soon after.
14:33It cut through the tension in time.
14:36Everyone's here, right? Good timing.
14:38There's an internal welcome party tonight. A proper welcome aboard for Nina and Chloe.
14:41The moment she said it, the people around us perked right up.
14:45Someone asked immediately,
14:47Will Julian be there?
14:48The supervisor waved a hand.
14:50He's busy. He may not come. No need to be so tense about it. Just have a good time.
14:53Everyone laughed at that.
14:55And the mood loosened right up.
14:56I lowered my head, and swallowed back the refusal I'd been about to give.
15:03That evening, I'd gotten my skirt dirty hauling files at Moon, so I went back to the crew quarters to
15:08change first.
15:09By the time I made it to the crew bar, things had already been in full wishing for over an
15:13hour.
15:13I pushed the door open. The lighting inside was dim.
15:16The music was a little loud.
15:17I looked up and saw Julian there.
15:19He was still in that black suit sitting in the back with a barely-touched drink in his hand.
15:23The supervisor had specifically said he might not come.
15:25My steps stopped dead, but the supervisor had sharp eyes and spotted me right away.
15:29Nina? What took you so long? Come in, you're the last one.
15:32A few people nearby turned to look, too.
15:34I was already standing in the doorway, nowhere to hide.
15:37So I steeled myself and walked in.
15:39Coming. I could feel it.
15:41Julian seemed to turn toward me, too.
15:43But I didn't dare look up.
15:44All I wanted was to find the seat farthest away and sit down.
15:47I'd taken all of two steps.
15:50Sit here.
15:51You're late, so this is the only spot left.
15:53I followed the direction she was pointing.
15:55It was right beside Julian.
15:57I couldn't get a single word out.
15:58Because the supervisor had already pressed me down into the seat.
16:01At least Julian was turned away, talking to the person on his other side.
16:05Like he hadn't noticed me.
16:07So I could only sit there, rigid.
16:09I'd barely settled in, and the person beside me shifted.
16:13Julian shifted in his seat.
16:14The fabric of his slacks brushed lightly against my calf.
16:18My whole body froze.
16:19I quickly pulled my legs back, put some distance between us.
16:23Less than half a minute of quiet, and that faint sense of touch came again.
16:27Julian moved again.
16:28That cool fabric grazed my leg again.
16:30I held my breath, but I couldn't stop myself from turning to glance at him.
16:33Only to find him still talking to the person beside him.
16:36His expression was perfectly planed, like he hadn't noticed a thing.
16:39So I lowered my head, and pressed my knees tighter together.
16:42I silently prayed for all of this to be over soon.
16:44But the next second, Julian's knee pressed against mine.
16:47Not hard, not light.
16:49Through two layers of fabric, that small trace of warmth still drew my whole body tight.
16:53I had nowhere left to retreat.
16:56He still didn't look at me.
16:58Just lowered his head and took a sip of his drink.
17:01He lifted his arm and brushed lightly against my shoulder again.
17:04I stood up all at once.
17:06My voice came out a little strained.
17:09I'm going to the restroom.
17:11I practically fled to the restroom.
17:14The corridor outside was much quieter.
17:16I walked up to the sink and turned on the tip.
17:18Cold water ran over my fingers.
17:20But I still couldn't get my heartbeat down.
17:23Then, footsteps came from behind me.
17:25I looked up.
17:27In the mirror, I saw a figure stop in the doorway.
17:29Hands in his pockets.
17:31He just stood there, unhairy.
17:33My scalp preckled.
17:35Mr. Ashford, did you need the restroom too?
17:37He looked at me, and answered, flat and simple.
17:41No.
17:43For a moment, I didn't chime in.
17:45He was already walking towards me.
17:47He stopped very close.
17:50What are you hiding from?
17:51I shook my head at once.
17:53Nothing.
17:54Nina.
17:54He looked at me in the mirror.
17:56His tone bland, like he was asking about something perfectly ordinary.
18:00Is there any part of me you haven't already seen?
18:06My mind went blank on the spot.
18:08The tap was still running.
18:09The girl in the mirror was white as paper.
18:11Only one thought in my head.
18:13He knew.
18:14He knew everything.
18:15But I still wouldn't give up.
18:16My voice shook badly.
18:19You...
18:19You already know?
18:20Julian didn't answer right away.
18:22He just looked at me for a moment.
18:23Then suddenly, he laughed.
18:25Know what?
18:25I choked on my own words.
18:27That string inside me, pulled taut to the breaking point, slowly began to loosen.
18:31But before it had fully eased, he spoke again.
18:34Is it fun to lie to me?
18:36My throat tightened.
18:37I spun around.
18:38That trace of a smile on Julian's face was gone.
18:41His expression was frighteningly cold.
18:43He took one step forward, and I stepped back on instinct.
18:46The day I had Chloe move to the top deck, I already knew something was off.
18:49After I saw you in the car last night, that feeling only got stronger.
18:52So I had someone look into it.
18:53Chloe isn't her.
18:55You are.
18:59No wonder I could never find you.
19:01No wonder you left so easily.
19:03No wonder you deleted me and never replied a single email.
19:08The lower it went, the more frightening it became.
19:11The name was fake.
19:12The identity was fake.
19:13The photos were fake.
19:15So, were your feelings for me fake too?
19:17My back had hit the cold wall.
19:18There was nowhere left to go.
19:20I looked at him, and couldn't get out a single word.
19:23Julian stared at me, like he was waiting.
19:26Like he was holding himself back.
19:29Is there anything I just said that you want to dispute?
19:31It was strange.
19:32Now that I'd actually been caught, I wasn't as panicked as I thought I'd be.
19:37I'm sorry.
19:38It was all my fault.
19:40Do whatever you want to me, I'll accept it.
19:42It was me who used Chloe's identity to deceive you.
19:44I'm not a good person.
19:45Like he was holding back a fire.
19:48I even thought that he would lunge forward the next second.
19:55Is that all?
19:59I startled.
20:01What else?
20:02Julian was still staring at me.
20:04His eyes had gone a little red.
20:05Besides an apology, you have nothing else to say?
20:08My thoughts were in complete chaos.
20:12The money.
20:13Everything you gave me, I put it toward tuition.
20:16I'll pay you back.
20:17And if you want to go to the police, I'll cooperate.
20:18Nina!
20:19He cut me off sharply.
20:21His voice jumped up, then dropped back down just as fast.
20:24You think money is what matters most between us?
20:26I froze.
20:27My brain couldn't process it, but my mouth moved first.
20:31Money is important.
20:32He closed his eyes, like I'd rendered him speechless with sheer frustration.
20:36The muscles at his temple pulled tight.
20:38I bit my lip and added quietly.
20:41But I know it probably doesn't to you.
20:42Julian, I really have nothing to dispute.
20:44I'm sorry, all of this is my-
20:46Before I could finish, he grabbed my wrist.
20:48His eyes had gone completely red, but his voice stayed low.
20:51Is that what I'm asking you about?
20:52I'm asking about the things you said.
20:53The way you reacted.
20:54All those nights you stayed with me.
20:56Which part of any of that was real?
21:00I stared at him, dazed.
21:02I hadn't expected this at all.
21:04Julian looked at me, like he was barely holding on.
21:06Did you ever like me?
21:07Even though-
21:08I was completely lost.
21:09I'd imagined so many ways of being caught.
21:11He might be furious.
21:12He might be disgusted with me.
21:14He might get back at me.
21:15Maybe he even threw me off the ship on the spot.
21:17But there was one thing I had never once imagined.
21:19That someone like he would stand in front of me with red eyes asking if I had ever liked him.
21:23For a moment I couldn't speak.
21:24My mind was a total blank.
21:25And my silence clearly was taken as an answer for him.
21:28Julian let go of my wrist.
21:29Stepped back half a pest.
21:30And the expression on his face went cold in an instant.
21:33Alright.
21:33I understand.
21:34That snapped me back.
21:35I reached for him on instinct.
21:37Julian!
21:38I-
21:38But I caught nothing.
21:40He turned and walked away.
21:41Never looked back.
21:43I stood where I was.
21:45The warmth from his hand still lingered on my wrist.
21:48But it faded fast.
21:51After that day.
21:52Julian never came back to the training deck.
21:55I spent a long time mentally preparing myself.
21:57And finally worked up the nerve to message him.
21:59One message.
22:00Two.
22:01Many.
22:02Not one got a reply.
22:03He was on the same ship.
22:04But I couldn't see him.
22:06I sat there staring at my phone for a long time.
22:08Just when I had no idea what else to do.
22:10My mom called.
22:11I took my phone and stepped out to the stairwell.
22:13Hey mom.
22:13Nina.
22:14Nothing's wrong.
22:14I just wanted to check in.
22:16How are things going with your co-works?
22:17I went quiet.
22:18The door at the end of the stair hole wasn't fully shut.
22:21Wind pushed through from outside.
22:22And sent a chill across the back of my neck.
22:24I instinctively touched my neck.
22:26Then.
22:26Out of nowhere.
22:27I thought of Julian.
22:28My chest ached.
22:29Sharp and sudden.
22:31My mom must have heard something off.
22:33Her voice tightened.
22:34Nina.
22:34What's wrong?
22:35Is someone giving you a hard time?
22:37If someone's teasing you, why don't you treat them to something to eat?
22:40Once you bought them a meal, they'd feel too ocarous to keep picking on you.
22:43Am I right?
22:44Same as always.
22:46It made my head pound.
22:48A steady throbbed at my temples.
22:50Mom, I've got something to deal with.
22:52I'll call you later.
22:52And before she could say another word, I hung up.
22:55The stair hull went dim around me.
22:57I stood in the dark for two seconds.
22:59Then pushed the door open and walked back.
23:02The moment I returned to my desk, a sickly sweet smell of coffee hit me.
23:06I stopped and looked down.
23:08Brown liquid was running down my computer screen.
23:10Dripping onto the keyboard, one drop at a time.
23:12The folders beside it were soaked through.
23:14The gala dinner materials I'd spent days finishing were destroyed.
23:17It was all ruined.
23:18Chloe was standing at my desk.
23:19Empty cup was still in her hand, looking completely innocent.
23:22Oh, I'm so sorry, Nina.
23:24I accidentally knocked my coffee onto your computer.
23:26It's probably fine, right?
23:29I didn't have time for her.
23:30I grabbed the tissues off the desk and frantically started wiping.
23:34But it was useless.
23:35The screen had already gone black.
23:37Chloe stood beside me, watched me scrambled, and laughed once.
23:40It's fine.
23:41Just do it again.
23:43I went still.
23:45Slowly looked up at her.
23:46Same expression as always.
23:48Same tone as always.
23:50Weightless.
23:50Like she was talking about something that barely deserved a mention.
23:53And in that moment, I was back in senior year of high school.
23:57Standing in the teacher's office.
23:58My fingers locked around the hem of my uniform.
24:00I gathered my courage to lay out everything Chloe had done to me over the years.
24:03Picked at her ear.
24:04Looked at me in silence.
24:06Like she was saying,
24:08So what?
24:09And she was right.
24:10I couldn't do anything to her.
24:11Because when my dad walked in, the first thing he did wasn't ask if I was fine.
24:14He reached out and shoved me aside.
24:16It wasn't bullying.
24:17It was just kids messing around.
24:18Our Nina has always been sensitive.
24:20Don't take what she says too seriously.
24:21Chloe smiled at once.
24:23Exactly.
24:23I was just joking around with her.
24:24If she's really upset, I can apologize.
24:26Would that work?
24:27Her mouth said sorry.
24:28But her eyes were full of contempt.
24:30My dad didn't even wait for me to speak.
24:32He was already clapping her on the shoulder with a smile.
24:34No need to apologize.
24:36You're a good kid.
24:37I know that.
24:37With that, he turned and glared at me.
24:40What are you still standing there for?
24:41Go sort it out with her.
24:42Making a scene over nothing.
24:43Who's going to want to be around you after this?
24:45I stood there that day, looking at him.
24:47And for the first time, I felt like I didn't recognize this man at all.
24:51While Chloe stood at the back of the crowd, when no one was watching, she stuck her tongue out at
24:54me.
24:55Exactly like she was doing now.
24:57No one was ever going to stand up for me in this life.
25:00So I had to stand up for myself.
25:05Just let it go.
25:06Take a step back.
25:07It's not worth it.
25:08That was all my parents had ever said for these years, over and over.
25:11But what had any of that ever given me, besides teaching me to be a coward?
25:15I squeezed the tissues in my fist.
25:17My fingernails pressed slowly into my palm.
25:19My breathing started to go sharp.
25:21What did I ever do wrong?
25:22Why did she get to keep doing this to me?
25:24And why did I keep putting up with it?
25:26Even when I fought back, I did it in the shadows, behind her back.
25:29And in the end, I made a fool of myself.
25:32I was so sick of who I'd been.
25:34Chloe was still standing there, still using that innocent voice.
25:37I really didn't mean to.
25:39She even reached out a hand.
25:41Like she was going to touch my shoulder.
25:44The next second, my body moved before my brain did.
25:47I grabbed her by the hair and slapped her twice across the face,
25:50hard enough to send her stumbling backward.
25:52She was right about one thing.
25:54I'd been working alongside my mom since I was little.
25:57I was strong.
25:58Chloe screamed.
26:00She clearly hadn't expected me to hit her.
26:02Still, in this way, I yanked and she went down,
26:05her knee slamming into the corner of a desk.
26:07She started shrieking curses at me.
26:09Are you insane?!
26:10I set my jaw and kicked her twice more.
26:14Then I lunged at her, sat on top of her and kept going.
26:16Files went flying off the desks.
26:18A chair toppled over.
26:19The whole staff training deck erupted into chaos.
26:23That was exactly what the supervisor saw when she walked in on.
26:27She nearly screamed.
26:28What are you all standing around for?
26:30Pull them apart!
26:31The male call works finally snapped out of it.
26:33They rushed over to drag me back.
26:35Someone grabbed my arms from behind.
26:37Someone else went to help Chloe up.
26:39The room was in complete disorder.
26:41When they finally hauled me off her, I was still holding a fistful of her hair.
26:46She stood across from me, face already swelling, hair wrecked, staring at me like she wanted to tear me apart.
26:52The supervisor's expression was thunderous.
26:54She was about to speak when the doorway went suddenly quiet.
26:58Someone said, in a low voice,
27:00Julian's here.
27:04The crowd slowly parted.
27:06Julian stood in the doorway.
27:07He looked like he'd just come down from a meeting upstairs.
27:10Suit immaculate.
27:11Not a crease out of place.
27:13Completely at odds with the chaos of the room.
27:15I finally came down a little.
27:16I lowered my head and pressed my hand over the scrape on my arm.
27:20Chloe had always been better at working people than I was.
27:22After everything that had just happened, almost everyone was on her side.
27:26Nina, how could you throw the first punch?
27:28That's right, we all saw it.
27:29You went for her hair first.
27:31She seemed so quiet.
27:32I never expected this.
27:34Chloe sat on the floor.
27:35Her eyes went red.
27:37And the tears came immediately.
27:39She didn't look at any of the people speaking up for her.
27:41Her voice soft and agraged.
27:44Julian, I don't even know what happened.
27:46She just attacked me out of nowhere.
27:47I was so scared.
27:48Her hand was inches from the hem of his trousers.
27:51Julian glanced down.
27:52Then, calmly, stepped half a pace to the side.
27:55She grabbed at nothing.
27:56Her whole body went sturdy.
27:57Julian didn't look at her again.
27:59He walked straight through the crowd and stopped in front of me.
28:02Then lowered his head.
28:03And reached out to pull my hand away from where I was holding my arm.
28:05The movement was gentle.
28:07Let go.
28:08Let me see.
28:10He pulled my hand away.
28:12The scrape stung in the open air.
28:14But my head was in far more chaos.
28:17On instinct, I almost said I was fine.
28:19The words didn't make it out.
28:21He had already lifted me and was walking toward the door.
28:24That familiar woody scent wrapped around me all at once.
28:27I forgot to struggle.
28:28A wave of sharp inhales rose behind us.
28:29Julian didn't look back.
28:31With every eye in the room watching,
28:32he carried me through the staff training deck and straight into the private elevator.
28:36A wire pulled tant for years, finally giving way.
28:40My throat tightened.
28:41And I started talking.
28:42Stumbling over the words.
28:44Julian, my feelings for you were never fake.
28:46I knew a long time ago that I was wrong.
28:47I shouldn't have talked to you the way I did using Chloe's identity.
28:50Shouldn't have used her photos.
28:52Shouldn't have taken revenge on her the way I did.
28:53And I should never have dragged you into any of it.
28:55I'm sorry, Julian.
28:56I really am.
28:57But the fact that I like you, that's real too.
28:59The day I cut things off with you, I was mid-it.
29:01Couldn't bring myself to face-date.
29:02I know I'm a mess.
29:03I know I hurt you.
29:04But I didn't mean to.
29:05I like you.
29:05I really do.
29:06Julian said nothing.
29:08His steps didn't slow.
29:09His pace didn't waver.
29:11He didn't even turn his head.
29:12The elevator doors opened.
29:14He brought me into the private lounge on the top deck.
29:17The door closed behind us.
29:19Before I could make sense of what was happening, he had set me down.
29:22My back meeting the door.
29:24Julian, I...
29:26The rest of it never came out.
29:35Hard.
29:36And deep.
29:36He had me pressed against the door with nowhere to go.
29:39The kiss was urgent.
29:40His breath hot.
29:41Like it was gonna set me on fire.
29:43My mind went completely blank.
29:45All I could do was take it.
29:46At first, it felt like release.
29:48Then it shifted.
29:49Slowly.
29:50He began kissing me differently.
29:52Slower.
29:52More deliberate.
29:53His breathing grew unsteady.
29:55The hand braced beside my ear slid down.
29:57Settling at my waist.
29:58Drawing me closer.
30:00We were pressed tight together.
30:01Through the thin fathic between us, I could feel every degree of warmth coming off him.
30:06I don't know how much time passed.
30:08Finally, he pulled back a little.
30:09His forehead rest against mine.
30:11Breathing racked.
30:12Voice so rough, it barely sounded like his.
30:14Finally.
30:15Just like I imagined.
30:17My face was burning.
30:18Tears still on my cheeks.
30:19But I turned my head away anyway.
30:20Don't say things like that.
30:21He laughed, low.
30:22Then, like something had just come back to him,
30:24He held out his phone.
30:25You thought I'd seen her photos all along, didn't you?
30:27I blinked.
30:28Took the phone.
30:29My fingers trembled a little as I scrolled back through the chat history.
30:32There was plenty in there that made me flush just glancing at it.
30:35The things he'd said had been direct.
30:37Every voice message I'd sent back, he'd kept every single one.
30:40Further up were photos we'd sent each other.
30:42Every angle, unmistakably intimate.
30:44But the further I scrolled, the more something felt wrong.
30:47It wasn't there.
30:49The photo I thought I'd sent him, it simply wasn't there.
30:52I went still.
30:53How is that pa-
30:55Julian stood in front of me, watching.
30:57You said it on the very first day, that you might end up on an Ashford ship one day.
31:00The name matched.
31:01In this intake of new hires, there was only one person called Chloe.
31:03I thought I'd found you.
31:04He paused there.
31:05Then reached out and cupped my face in his hands.
31:08Tipped it up, making me look at him.
31:10Did you really think it was her face I was after?
31:12I opened my mouth.
31:13Nothing came out.
31:15Julian's gaze was deep.
31:16His voice dropped.
31:17Nina, sometimes I think there's something strange between us.
31:20Something that pulls.
31:21Yesterday, when you got into the car, I hadn't even opened my eyes.
31:23But my first thought was, you're here.
31:25Every time I hear you talk, I go quiet.
31:27Sometimes I think I'm like a dog, just the sound of your voice and I calm down.
31:30I pressed my lips together.
31:32Almost laughed.
31:33But my eyes were starting to sting.
31:34In the end, I couldn't hold it.
31:35I lowered my head and buried my face in his chest.
31:38My voice came out muffled.
31:39But you'd never even seen me.
31:40What if I turned out to be exactly the type you can't stand?
31:42Julian paused.
31:43A beat of silence before he answered.
31:45I never thought about it.
31:46But I know, no matter what you looked like, I would have fallen for you.
31:49Strange as that is, I just would.
31:52Ever since that day, when everything was finally laid out in the open, Julian and I had fallen
31:56into a very strange kind of relationship.
31:59On the surface, he was still the untouchable Ashfulton heir.
32:02And I was still the most invisible new hire in the training department.
32:05But whenever no one else was around, he would suddenly pull me over.
32:09Sometimes at the corner of a hallway.
32:12Sometimes behind the door of that lounger on the top floor.
32:15And more often, just after I'd delivered some documents upstairs and was about to leave,
32:19he would call out to me from behind, his voice calm and light.
32:22Come here.
32:23At first, I tried to play dumb.
32:24Pretended I hadn't heard him.
32:26Later, I realized it was completely useless.
32:28Because Julian would walk over, grab my wrist, and pull me into an empty room nearby.
32:31Then he'd lower his head and kiss me.
32:33Very gently.
32:34And for a long time.
32:36Afterward, he'd straighten my collar as if nothing had happened.
32:38Then let me go.
32:39Today was no different.
32:40I had just delivered a guest list to the top floor.
32:42I'd barely reached the door when he pulled me back.
32:44When my back hit the door panel, I intentionally looked up at him.
32:47What are you doing?
32:48Julian lowered his gaze to me.
32:49You passed by my office just now and didn't look at me.
32:51I froze for a second.
32:53Then almost laughed in disbelief.
32:54Why do I have to look at you?
32:56He said nothing.
32:57He just lowered his head and bit my lip lightly.
32:59Not hard, but with a hint of mischief.
33:02The tips of my ears instantly burned.
33:03I reached out to push him away.
33:05Stop it.
33:05Julian pressed my hand down.
33:06His voice was low.
33:08Come see me tonight.
33:09I immediately shook my head.
33:11No, I still have a shift.
33:12As if he'd already known I would say that, he added evenly.
33:14Check the schedule.
33:14You get off at 10.
33:15I choked on my words.
33:16Only then did he seem slightly satisfied.
33:19He lifted his hand and pinched my cheek.
33:20I'll wait for you.
33:22When I came down from the top floor, my face was still burning.
33:25But the moment I reached the private elevator, my steps suddenly stopped.
33:28Not far away, two call works were standing there.
33:31They looked at me first, then spotted the door behind me, which hadn't fully closed yet.
33:35One of them suddenly smiled.
33:37The meaning in it unclear.
33:39Nina.
33:40Since when were you so close to the top floor?
33:44My fingers tightened.
33:45The heat drained from my face in an instant.
33:48I was just delivering documents.
33:49The moment I finished speaking I tried to leave.
33:50But the two of them didn't move aside.
33:52One of them crossed her arms and slowly drawled.
33:54So it takes that long for delivering documents?
33:57The other smiled too.
33:58And you even used the private elevator.
34:00I didn't respond.
34:01I turned sideways and pushed past them.
34:03But after that day, the way the employees looked at me changed.
34:06At lunch break, the moment I walked into the cafeteria,
34:09the people who had been laughing and chatted would suddenly go quiet.
34:12After I sat down, the table next to me would start whispering again in low voices.
34:16No wonder things have been going so smoothly for her lately.
34:18I went to find my supervisor.
34:20Without even looking up, she said only one thing.
34:23If you can do it, then do it.
34:24Don't let people think you only rely on connections.
34:27I stood there.
34:28And suddenly couldn't say a single word.
34:30When I went back, Julian was already waiting for me on the top floor.
34:34As soon as the door shut, he noticed something was wrong.
34:36Who upset you this time?
34:37I shook my head.
34:39No one.
34:40He stared at me for a few seconds, like he didn't believe me.
34:43Just as he was about to ask again, there was suddenly a knock at the door.
34:47The assistant pushed the door open and said quietly,
34:50Mr. Ashford, Mrs. Whitland has arrived.
34:52Julian's expression didn't change, but I went rotted all at once.
34:55After speaking, the assistant looked at me again and added,
34:58She said she'd like to see Miss Nina first.
35:02She said she'd like to see Miss Nina first.
35:03She said what she said to me and told me to hear.
