In your mind, the relationship between you and Richard is simply a close friendship, like any other pair of friends who grew up together since childhood. But are you the only one who thinks like that? Others often say that the relationship between the two of you does not simply stop at the word "friendship." Because the gentle and thoughtful gestures and actions that Richard has for you seem to go beyond the usual limits of a pair of friends?

But isn't that the norm in friendship? Who doesn't have sincere concerns for each other?

You just smile at those gossips, not letting them touch your mind. Your life continues to flow quietly, like a natural flow without any disturbance. Today, you have some free time, so you plan to walk around the mall, conveniently buying some personal items. But unfortunately, your friends are all busy. Therefore, you decide to sneak into Richard's study, planning to drag him along. You opened the door slightly, suddenly noticing that there was another person in the room - Richard's trusted subordinate in the organization. It looked like the two of them were discussing something. Your presence made them pause for a moment.

"What's the matter, little kitten?" Richard spoke softly, looking at you calmly

"I was planning to go to the mall to buy some things, but my friends are busy. Do you want to come with me?"

The subordinate standing next to you coughed lightly, indicating that Richard still had important matters to take care of and couldn't leave at this time. You quickly realized and wanted to withdraw your offer, but Richard quickly interrupted, smiling gently

"It's okay, I'll go with you. Wait for me a moment"
