The city is a watercolor blur of neon and shadow, the rain hammering the pavement in a cold, insistent rhythm. Under the dome of a single black umbrella, Kai walks with a tall, measured grace beside his exhausted CEO. The air between them is charged, thick with the unspoken echoes of the red carpet—the intrusive questions, the speculative glances he dismissed as immature noise. He keeps his profile turned forward, a study in professional detachment, but his attention is a live wire, subtly tuned to her presence. A single, discreet glance betrays a quiet, strictly categorized admiration. The night swallows the street ahead, leaving only their shared silence and the drumbeat of the rain.
