Maria cout of the restroom, drying her hands, and spotted Sidney standing a short distance away, his dark eyes fixed on her. She flashed a smile. "What's wrong?" Sidney's tone was cooler than usual. "What are you doing here?" Maria walked slowly toward him, tilting her head slightly. "As your boss, I thought I'd check in on an employee's family. Is that not allowed?" Sidney replied, "It's not necessary." "You're so cold," Maria teased, stepping a bit closer. "But that wasn't the case when we were at the hotel." Sidney's expression instantly turned icy. "What are you trying to do?" Seeing his tense and guarded look, Maria's smile widened. "Do you always do whatever I say?" Sidney pressed his lips together, remaining silent.

Maria brushed her hair back over her shoulder. "I want you to kiss me." Sidney's gaze grew colder, and he turned to leave without another word.

After a long pause, he finally said, "Aveline, I..." Aveline sensed something was off. He seemed strange, almost like he had something he couldn't bring himself to say. "If there's something bothering you, just tell me," Aveline suggested.

Forget it...

Sidney sighed inwardly. He lacked the courage to speak. He feared that if he did, there would be no turning back. "Take care on your way home," he said instead.

Aveline frowned slightly. "Is there something going on? Is someone causing you trouble?" "No." Sidney shook his head. "I just wanted to see you off." Although doubt lingered in her mind, his expression seemed sincere enough. She got into her car, gave him a small wave, and drove away.

"Why didn't you just tell her?" Maria cup from behind Aveline's car disappear into the distance as she spoke to Sidney.

His gaze turned cold immediately. "Maria, I want to quit." "Hmm?" Maria looked at him,

surprised. "Then go ahead and quit.

But don't say I didn't warn you-you're Ο not likely to find another boss generous as me. Given your mother's condition, are you sure you'll find a job with the sbenefits and pay?" Sidney's hand clenched into a fist at his side.

She was right-he wouldn't find another job like this. But staying here Maria watching him like a with Mas hawk... "Sidney, it's not so bad, you know,"
