Emyr’s cold and chiseled face was engulfed in flickering light and shadow, his deep, inky–black eyes seeming bottomless.

The room was cerily silent.

Yet beneath this calm, there was an undeniable tension–like the calm before a storm.

Tad’s expression tightened. “Rex brought people from the forestry department. It was my fault. I couldn’t stop him from going up the mountain.”

“Ydris… These past two years, they’ve climbed the ranks too fast.”

The statement came out of nowhere, but after following him for so many years, Tad understood his thoughts all too well.

“I’ll look into Rex’s background right away.”

He turned to leave, but as soon as he opened the door, he nearly bumped into Charmaine, who was carrying a tray of food.

“Oh, Tad, you’re here too? Perfect. I brought you guys something to eat–go have some.”

With that, she breezed inside, bouncing over to Emyr in just a few steps.

Seeing Emyr calmly move from the window back to his desk without so much as a flicker of emotion, Tad silently closed the door behind him.

Charmaine set the tray down on the table. “Mr. Emyr, you must be hungry.”

Emyr didn’t even spare a glance at it. “Heh, bringing me food that someone else went to great lengths to prepare–trying to win me over with that?”

Charmaine blinked her bright, clear eyes, surprised. “Wow! Mr. Emyr, your intel is incredible. You already knew?”

As soon as she finished speaking, Emyr’s dangerously sharp gaze locked onto her.

Charmaine immediately dropped her playful act, raising her hands in surrender. “Alright, fine. The food was sent over by Rex. But if that’s what’s making you mad, I think I can explain.”

Emyr remained silent. Charmaine rubbed her nose awkwardly and continued.

“You know I participated in that design competition before, right? That was Rex’s own team. I’ve worked with him in a superior–subordinate capacity. Plus, Celeste’s dad is working under him now. Him sending some food over is nothing out of the ordinary.”

Emyr let out a cold chuckle. “Nothing out of the ordinary? Do you even realize how much manpower and resources it takes to transport fresh food from the airport all the way up here to the mountainten”

Charmaine frowned slightly, unable to figure out what exactly he was so worked up about. “Well, he sent it, so I’ll just eat it. He’s the one spending money, not me. What’s there to overthink? If he ever asks for something in return, I’ll just draw him a few extra designs. Do you really think a single meal puts me in eternal debt? By that logic, if I serve it to you, wouldn’t that mean you owe him now too?”

Emyr froze for a moment. The dark cloud of frustration that had been weighing on him suddenly lifted— dispersed by her blunt, matter–of–fact reasoning.

“You really have no shame, do you?”

Charmaine pouted. “So, are you eating or not?”

Maintaining his icy demeanor, he replied, “There are ingredients in the convoy. Go prepare something.”

Huh?

Wow! Did she just get tricked into unpaid labor?

Clenching her fists, Charmaine swallowed her frustration and turned to leave.

After all, she had promised to take care of his daily needs!

On her way out, she handed the food on the tray to Tad and the others. “Wait. You guys brought ingredients up the mountain?”

Tad nodded. “Over here.”

A few large trucks were parked near Emyr’s suite. He led Charmaine to the trunk of one, and when he opened it, she was stunned.

Wow! They had transported an entire mini fridge up the mountain. Inside, it was fully stocked with all the essential ingredients and kitchen supplies–everything a well–equipped kitchen would have!

“Wait … but where’s the power coming from?”

Tad pointed to a small black box hidden behind the fridge. “A generator. It can run for five hours, so we’ll have to trouble you to cook two meals at once.”

Charmaine replied, “Not trouble at all…”

It’s more like misery.

Curious, she walked over to the other two trucks. “What about these?”

Tad opened them one by one. “This one’s for mobile internet. Mr. Emyr needs a dedicated network for work. And this one carries his clothes and personal items.”

Charmaine stared at the massive setup–state–of–the–art electronics, neatly arranged clothes, and accessories filling every inch of space–and silently gave him a thumbs–up.
