“What are you doing here?”
Suzy’s tone was sharp, glaring at the man who shouldn’t be there and unsure how long he’d been standing there. Dylan, who was casually washing some fruit, looked up at her.
Following his gaze, Suzy suddenly realized her pants were still half–down. Her face grew warm, thankful she’d only taken off her outer pants–If it had been any more…
She scowled, a cold smile on her face. “What, did you come here just to catch me in an embarrassing moment?”
Dylan didn’t respond, instead rinsing the last few strawberries before picking up the fruit bowl and walking toward her.
Seeing him get closer, Suzy moved aside, blocking his path as little as possible to avoid any physical contact. The irritation in her eyes was crystal clear, and Dylan caught it with a faint glint in his own.
As he passed her, he leaned in slightly, close enough to murmur, “Nice legs.
Suzy fell silent.
Fuming, she stormed into the restroom, deciding that, if it weren’t for her urgent need, she’d gladly make him regret that comment.
When she came back out, Dylan was lounging on the sofa, calmly eating strawberries, and her irritation flared all over again. She crossed her arms and stood in front of him.
“Our patent application was rejected, and if I’m not mistaken, that’s thanks to you. So, tell me–did Mark turn us down because your influence is that strong, or are you two just very close friends?”
Unable to find anything concrete, she figured she’d cut to the chase. After all, she had every reason to ask.
Dylan’s gaze stayed fixed on her for a long moment before his tall frame suddenly rose. from the sofa, leaning close. Just as Suzy tensed, wondering what he intended, he popped a strawberry into her mouth. “Tastes good. Try it.”
Suzy was speechless.
What the hell?
She spat out the strawberry. “I don’t eat strawberries–and certainly not ones you’ve touched!”
Dylan’s gaze flicked briefly to the strawberry Suzy had spat into the trash, and his
expression shifted–not to anger but to something unreadable. Whatever it was, he quickly

concealed it, looking back at her with nothing but detached indifference.
After a moment’s glance, he turned to leave, pausing at the door with his back to her. Claude isn’t as simple as you think.”
Without missing a beat, Suzy shot back, “No matter what he is, he’s still better than you!”
That finally made Dylan turn, his gaze locking onto hers. Suzy thought he might have something to say, but he merely let a flicker cross his eyes before turning back and opening the door.
Just as he stepped out, she raised her voice at him. “You really think sabotaging the patent application will help get your energy project off the ground? Last I heard, Tina still hasn’t agreed to work with you.”
Dylan didn’t respond, stepping out and closing the door behind him.
Suzy frowned, muttering to herself, “Did he just come here to stir up trouble?”
Feeling annoyed, she reached for the bowl of fruit he had washed, ready to toss it into the trash. But just as she moved, the door opened again from the outside.
Assuming it was Dylan returning, she didn’t even look up. “If you’re really that bored, Dylan, go do some charity work. Maybe balance out all the bad karma you’ve piled up.”
“Suzy…”
Hearing Diana’s voice, Suzy turned around quickly. “Diana?”
Diana walked in, setting a thermos on the table “From the way you were talking, I assume you and my brother had another argument?”
