Kane walked away, leaving me frozen in shock. My fingers instinctively reached for my neck, brushing over the tender skin that had begun to swell.

Panicked, I hurried toward the nearest door. Pushing it open, I realized it was a private room. Without hesitation, I rushed inside and headed straight for the attached bathroom.

The moment I caught sight of my reflection in the mirror, I gasped, my hand flying to my mouth.

There it was–a hickey, clear as day, marking my neck.

“Kane Thome, you absolute bastard,” I muttered under my breath, staring at the evidence of his audacity.

“How the hell am I supposed to hide this? How? My bag isn’t even with me. I can’t walk around looking like this.”

Frustrated, I tugged at my hair, my anger at Kane intensifying to the point where I wanted to smash the

mirror in front of me.

Taking a deep breath, I tried to steady myself. But no matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t come up with a solution. My dress was sleeveless and backless–there was no way to cover it up.

Gripping the sink’s edge, I cursed Kane under my breath.

“What the hell is wrong with him? Why is he acting so strange? Ever since yesterday, he’s been behaving weirdly. And now, he has the nerve to put his hands on me?”

As I stood there, lost in frustration, a sudden knock on the bathroom door startled me.

“Boss? Are you in there?”

“Rachel!”

I immediately swung the door open, relieved to see her standing outside.

“Thank God you’re here. Axel sent you, didn’t he?”

“Boss, I wa-

“It’s fine. Just give me my purse.” I cut her off, snatching the bag from her hands before she could say anything else.

I moved quickly, hoping she wouldn’t notice the mark on my neck. But I wasn’t fast enough.

“Boss… your neck…”

“I–I got hurt,” I stammered.

Rachel’s eyes narrowed slightly. “Boss, that looks like…” She trailed off, glancing at me knowingly.
