In high school, I had finally worked up the courage to confess my feelings to my longtime crush. The next day, he disappeared from my life without a word. Heartbroken and furious, I moved on and started dating someone else, leaving him behind in my memories. Years passed, and I thought I had buried that part of my life. But ten years later, fate threw us back together—this time, he was my new boss. Not just any boss, but my boss’ boss. I had no idea how to face him, but one thing was clear: resigning suddenly felt like my best option.

Chapter 1

In public, he was the composed and polished leader; in private, he blushed while inviting me to see his kitten at home. …Our HR team announced that our new project leader would be joining us today. Everyone appeared diligent and focused on their tasks, but behind the scenes, private group chats were buzzing. "Did you hear? The new project director is supposedly super handsome!" "I know, right? Word is, he studied in Frankston, just returned, and he's six foot one tall!"Someone attached a photo. "Just snapped this sneakily. What do you think? Handsome or not?" I opened the photo. It was a candid side profile shot taken through blinds. His nose was tall and straight, and his skin was remarkably fair. That overly refined face seemed to make everything else in the photo blur into the background, leaving him in sharp focus. I couldn’t hold back and commented, “He’s definitely good-looking. Just seeing that face could lift your mood. But what about his temper?” "Exactly! If h...

Chapter 2
Was he just making a drunken scene? The stench of alcohol wafted from his mouth, and I leaned back in disgust, my brows knitting tightly. People who got drunk weren’t worth arguing with, and I was more concerned about my own safety. Just as I was about to turn and walk away, a tall figure suddenly approached. “Mr. Murray, it seems you’ve had quite a bit to drink. It’s best not to drive,” Edward said with a polite smile. He still wore that gentle, considerate demeanor, but his tone carried an undeniable firmness. “Let me arrange for two designated drivers. Miss White, I’ll take you home since it’s on my way.” He turned to me, his expression and actions remaining polite and courteous. “Miss White, would that be all right with you?” The moment he got close, I instinctively tensed up. His scent—distinctly masculine—was more assertive than I remembered from high school. Being caught in this situation by him left me feeling awkward, and the close proximity made me uneasy. But I

Chapter 3
Edward’s face turned crimson in an instant. Starting from his ears, the blush spread across his cheeks and crept down to his collar, making him look like a tomato. I felt just as awkward, wishing the ground would open up and swallow me whole. He cleared his throat, his voice stiff as he tried to change the subject. “I’ll take care of the wound myself. Don’t worry about it.” After a brief pause, he added, “I’ve already spoken to the driver. He’ll take you home first so that your boyfriend won’t have to worry.” Boyfriend? I froze for a second before realizing he was referring to the excuse I’d used earlier to fend off Liam. I was just about to explain, then stopped myself. Why did I even feel the need to explain? Especially when… I stole a glance at him, only to see his expression had returned to normal as if nothing had happened. Even when he mentioned my supposed boyfriend, he seemed perfectly composed. It was as though we really were just colleagues, a boss and his s

Chapter 4
The tabby’s labor was difficult. Her water broke around one in the afternoon, but there were no contractions. The vet administered an oxytocin shot at two, and it wasn’t until nine at night that she finally gave birth. Three kittens in total: one white, one black, and one tabby just like their mother. The newborn kittens looked incredibly fragile. Worried about transferring human scent, we didn’t dare touch them and could only watch cautiously from the side. Fortunately, both the mother and her babies were safe, and we let out a collective sigh of relief. “It’s so late. Won’t your boyfriend be worried if you don’t go home?” Edward asked, his timing as impeccable as ever. Still recovering from the tense ordeal, I was finally beginning to relax. However, his comment made me shoot him a sharp glare, and I snapped back, “Are you out of your mind?” After spending this much time together, it was obvious I didn’t have a boyfriend. He was clearly being annoying on purpose. To my

Her words completely caught me off guard. I froze, instinctively turning to Edward, only to see him looking even more flustered than I was. “It’s not like that…” “Edward, why are you getting all shy?” Rachel’s daughter, Emma Rich, didn’t miss a beat, launching into an excited monologue. “Yuna, let me tell you, Edward has liked you since freshman year of high school! He’s liked you for so long, but you were totally clueless! All his hints went over your head, and it drove me nuts. Over the years, he never forgot about you. My mom even tried to set him up with other girls, but he turned them all down because he’s been waiting for you.” “Stop, stop, stop!” Her words had me completely lost. I opened my mouth, pointing at myself in disbelief. “Are you saying… Edward liked me?” “But…” I stammered. “Didn’t he always say we were just good friends?” “Oh, come on, Yuna!” Emma’s expression was filled with exasperation. “Do you know any guy who would bend over backwards for a ‘good

I froze mid-motion while feeding Coal. “What?” Emma clung to my arm, pouting as she pleaded, “Come on, Yuna, don’t be so stubborn! Anyone with eyes can see you both like each other! Just check on him, will you?” My face flushed red. “Don’t talk nonsense!” If I set aside the unpleasant parts of our past, Edward was, without a doubt, an amazing person. And I… I liked him. Yes, I liked him. Maybe he liked me too. But I couldn’t get past that hurdle in my heart. I could still remember that younger version of myself, crying into her pillow until her eyes were swollen, overwhelmed with sadness. If he’d liked me all along, even back then, then what had all those tears and the bitterness I’d carried for years even been for? Emma wasn’t in the mood to argue. She was growing visibly anxious. “Fine, let’s take this one step at a time. Even if you don’t like him, at the very least, you’re his friend, right? Edward’s not in a good condition right now!” “Wait…” Something felt o

Chapter 7
After rushing Edward to the hospital, I was thoroughly scolded by the staff, but at least he was finally in safe hands. His fever combined with the alcohol had left him in a precarious state, requiring constant care for the time being. The problem was, as he’d said, he had no family left. Naturally, the responsibility fell to me. But work at the company was hectic, and barely an hour passed before I was bombarded with calls. Fortunately, Emma arrived shortly after and offered to stay with him, allowing me to head back to the office. It was already 10 p.m. by the time I returned, and the office was nearly deserted except for a few employees working late. As I approached, I saw one of our department interns rushing out of the office, her face flushed and eyes brimming with tears. She ran straight into me. “I’m sorry! I’m so sorry!” she stammered, panic-stricken, while I noticed her disheveled clothes. “What happened?” A sense of unease surged within me. My instincts told m
