Ms. Moser, is it really necessary to make employees dink until they can’t even stand straight? Their competence is reflected in their design proposals, not in their drinking skills,” Keith said, her lone sharp with disapproval.

Serena suddenly felt Stacey’s grip on her aim lighten abruptly. She gently pulled her arm free from Stacey’s grimp, swaying unsteality as

With that, Serena turned away, her steps unsteady as she staggered down the hallway toward the far end

Keith watched Serena’s unsteady figure stapper away, a flicker of concern crossing his brow

He turned to Stacey with a slight ad, his tone icy “Ms. Mosher, I’ll take my leave as well.”

Stacey hastily stepped forward, reaching out to grasp Keith’s sleeve, only for him to seamlessly evade her touch. She flushed briefly with embarrassment before forcing her customary smile back in place.

Stacey hurried to explain, her voice tinged with urgency, “Keith, you’ve got it wrong. I just wanted Serena to feel included with avery

Keith ignored her explanation and strode without hesitation in Serena’s direction,

Stacey stood rooted to the spot, watching his retreating figure vanish down the hallway as the smile on her face gradually faded.

Serena staggered out of the revolving door. The crisp autumn night air hit her face, cutting through her drunken hane and clearing her mind a little.

She fumbled for her phone, intending to hail a ride. Suddenly, she felt a coat being gently draped over her shoulders.

Serena jumped in surprise, whipping around to find Keith standing right behind her.

“M–Mr. Brannon?” she stammered, her voice still a little slurred with surprise,

Keith said, “I’ll take you home.”

Keith quickly reached out to steady her and said, “Let me take your home, It’s too late for you to be out here alone. It’s not safe.

Keith steadied her by draping her arm over his shoulder while pulling out his phone to text the driver their destination.

Inside the black car, Serena leaned back against the seat, the faintly sweet scent of alcohol lingering in the air.

She swayed slightly with the car’s motion, her checks flushed pink, her eyelids so heavy she could barely keep them open.

Keith sat beside her, his eyes foxed on his phone as his long fingers tapped rhythmically across the screen.

He couldn’t help but steal a glance at her–her eyes were closed, head gently tilted to the side her breathing soft and even.

Before he could finish speaking, the car took a slight turn, sending Serena’s body waying sideways.

Her head accidentally came to rest on his shoulder, a feather–light touch that seemed to radiate a gentle warmth.

Keith was startled, his body tensing momentarily Instead of pushing her away, he lowered his gaze slightly, letting his eyes rest on her peerful, sleeping

Her breathing was soft and shallow, yet at this close distance, it inexplicably stirred something indescribable in his heart, like ripples across dill water.

He had never observed her this closely before. Her long, delicate eyelashes, her slightly pale hips, and the uncharacteristic sod brought to her features

The city lights flickered past the car windows, bathing everything inside in a dreamlike, surreal glow.

For a moment, the silence was sa profound it seemed even their heartbeats had deliberately slowed, the world holding its breath around them.
