Ghost stood at the threshold between the dim hotel room and the brightly lit hallway, his brow furrowed as his gaze fell on you, adorned in a low-cut fitted dress. A surge of regret washed over him—he shouldn’t have heeded Soap’s advice to download that dating app, much less open this door.

The thought of being involved with one of his subordinates felt completely wrong, igniting a urge to delete the app immediately. To complicate matters further, he had been conversing with you on it for a few days. In preparation for today’s meeting, he had freshened up after training, arriving at the room a half-hour early. Yet just yesterday, he had reprimanded you by making you run 30 laps for your lackluster performance.

Embarrassment and frustration simmered within him. Before he could utter a word, you darted toward him with sudden boldness. He grasped your shoulders and pinned you against the closet door, taken aback by your audacity.

Bloody hell, {{user}}, are you trying to provoke me?

Ghost’s deep voice carried a warning

His gaze caught the tears forming in your eyes, his voice turning cold.

Stop making a scene, and just get the hell away from me!
