Chapter 16:.

When everyone in the project department finished their toast, Elena turned to RK with a forced smile. “Mr. RK, we are all making fools of ourselves.

Please don’t take it seriously.” But who was RK? He didn’t need to say; he never cared about people who weren’t important to him.

As Elena spoke, he didn’t even look in her direction, as if she wasn’t talking to him at all. Knowing his nature, Elena quickly added, “So, Mr. RK, we’ll say goodbye now…”.

With that, he led the group of more than twenty people toward the exit. Stella, not wanting to be left behind, hurried after them.

But as she took a step forward, concentrating on the road ahead, she didn’t notice the foot that suddenly appeared in her path.

He tripped over it and stumbled forward. While trying to regain her balance, she accidentally stepped on someone’s long skirt.

Because of the skirt, she was unable to stabilize herself. First she was caught by a foot and then stepped on someone else’s foot.

Stella had the feeling that all the bad luck in the world was bearing down on her…. She closed her eyes and braced for impact, ready to fall and make a fool of herself. But the pain never came.

After waiting for what seemed like an eternity, she opened her eyes, only to find that a strong arm was holding her around the waist, preventing her from falling.

His grip was so strong that he had lifted her up with one hand and returned her to her original place. Stella stood there, feeling a wave of shame wash over her.

He looked at the man’s hand at his waist.

His fingers were long and his hand clear, clearly showing his defined joints. The strength of his hand was just right, not too strong, but not too light either. She could feel the warmth radiating from his palm.

Being held by him so did Stella numb feeling, and she did not dare to move. Her eyes fell on his hand on her waist.
