Chapter 5
Kira saw Felicia make a call, and a minute later, Harry came down to meet her himself. Wrapping her in his arms, he asked, “It’s freezing. What are you doing here?”
“I missed you. Can’t I come see you?”
“Of course you can.
Harry pulled her close and led her upstairs.
But after just a few steps, Felicia’s shoelace came undone.
Without hesitation, Harry knelt down to tie it for her, his eyes full of tenderness.
Kira watched Harry tie Felicia’s shoelace, her eyes narrowing. She was always the one doing humble favors like that. She never thought the arrogant Harry would tie someone else’s shoelace.
One of Harry’s friends, who had stepped out for a smoke, was stunned by the scene. “Fuck! Who would’ve thought the mighty CEO of Fellon Group would tie someone’s shoelaces?”
Harry shot him a sharp look, clearly annoyed.
“Put that out. Felicia can’t stand the smell of smoke. If you want to smoke, do it far away.
“And watch your mouth. Don’t you dare curse in front of her? If you scare Felicia, you’ll regret it.”
Harry’s warning scared his friend away.
Chapter 5
In the taxi, Kira looked at Harry, who was wholeheartedly defending
Felicia in front of their friends, and the contrast made her feel even more Felicia in front of their friends, a
ridiculous.
For years, no matter how his friends teased her, Harry had always acted like a disinterested bystander.
But with Felicia, just one curse word and a cigarette was enough to make Harry look like he was ready to skin his friend alive.
By the time Kira got home, it was already 2 a.m.
She tossed and turned, unable to sleep. When Harry finally returned, it
already morning.

The house felt empty and many of Kira’s belongings were suddenly gone.
Harry couldn’t help but ask, “Where’s your stuff?”
Kira made up an excuse. “A lot of it was old, so I threw it out.”
There was nothing wrong with her answer, but something about it didn’t. sit right with Harry.
Still, he was marrying Felicia soon, so Kira shouldn’t live here.
If Felicia found out, she’d definitely cry. She was fragile, nothing like Kira, who had always been strong.
After thinking for a while, Harry said calmly, “If you’re going to clean up, make sure it’s all cleaned out.”
Kira nodded without saying much.
Seeing her so quiet, Harry held back the words that had almost slipped
out.

Chapter 5
“It’s fine, even if Kira has changed, she still has feelings for me. A little sweet talk and she’d come around, just like always,” Harry thought to
himself.
At worst, he could do what he used to during the startup days–throw out a few empty promises.
Of all the women he’d been with, Kira was the easiest to appease.
Snapping out of his thoughts, Harry immediately instructed her, “I drank too much last night. Go make me some hangover soup.”
“I’m heading out. If you want soup, make it yourself.”
After saying that, Kira turned to leave.
But before she could take a step, Harry grabbed her arm. “Where are you going?”
“What?” Kira shot back.
“If you won’t make the soup, then what about the tender proposal I asked you to finish last night? Is it done?” Harry said.
“No.”
Kira’s answer was direct. She pulled her arm free from Harry’s grip and walked out of the apartment.
Harry stood there, his expression darkening. “Kira is really getting weirder and weirder. Isn’t she afraid I’ll get angry and leave her?”
Kira left to get her wedding dress fitted.
The wedding was just in a few days. She’d promised to wait for him at City Hall wearing her wedding dress before they got the marriage license.

At the bridal shop, Kira asked the store manager to bring out the dress she’d already ordered. But the manager hesitated like something was
Wrong.
“What’s wrong? Is there a problem with my wedding dress?”
“I’m sorry. Ms. Claydon, but your wedding dress has been sold to someone else.”
“But I already paid a deposit. How can someone else take it?”
J’Well, another customer offered a higher deposit, so-”
Kira cut her off. “Who are they?”
Before the store manager could answer, a sweet voice came from the entrance as the boutique door opened. “Is my wedding dress ready? I want to try it on!”
Kira looked up. It was Felicia again.
At work, Kira and Felicia weren’t close, but in personal matters, Kira knew Felicia very well.
Seeing Kira, Felicia’s eyes widened in surprise. “Kira, what a coincidence! You’re here to order a wedding dress too?”
“Yeah.”
“Kira, you’re getting married?”
“Yes.”
From the start, Kira was just known as Harry’s assistant at Fellon Group. Except for a few close friends, no one at the company knew about her relationship with Harry.
Chapter 5
Obviously, Harry hadn’t told Felicia cither. After all this time. Felicia only
saw Kira as Harry’s assistant.
“When’s your wedding, Kira?”
“The 7th.”
