"How is your wound?" Kai asked.

"It's slowly healing." Paris responded.

"Let me help you." Kai said, grabbing Paris by the arm abruptly.

"Ah! Don't hold me so tight." Paris complained.

Kai loosened up her grip, holding her more gently this time. "Sit down."

Paris pouted with furrowed brows before obediently sitting back down on the sofa. She watched how her boss took the cotton away from her hand and brushed some of the ointment on her wound. Who would have thought that a boss could be this gentle with her bodyguard?

"Does it hurt?" Kai asked as she stared at Paris who was biting her own bottom lip with a closed eye. She seemed to be in pain.

"Not much. It just burns." Paris replied.

"Hold it a bit. I'm almost done." Kai said as she finished rubbing the rest of the ointment on the wound.

Paris, "Done?"

Kai nodded, "Mhm." She placed the ointment back inside the kit and closed it. As for the cotton, she threw it away in the small trash can that was in the corner next to them.

Paris watched her do all of this. She was surprised that her own boss was actually taking care of her. Not only did she allow her to rest these past two days. But she also treated her wound. What the hell was going on with her? This was definitely not Kai.

"By the way." Paris added. "The other day, the owner of that house that we visited suggested that someone hired him to kill you. Do you know who it could be?"

Kai responded, "I've told you once before, that everyone wants me dead."

Paris sighed, "But if they knew your whereabouts and schedule, wouldn't it be an insider? In other words, someone from the mansion?

Kai raised her brows hearing this, and said, "Then, the person that I should be suspecting the most is you."

Paris rolled her eyes. "Oh, come on! Look what I have gone through." She said aiming at her wound. "Are you seriously doubting that it's me?"

"If you were in my situation, I'm pretty sure you'll suspect anyone too. No one can be fully trusted." Kai explained while staring at the wound in Paris' arm. "It doesn't matter anymore. We are investigating more about the case. Don't worry about it." She paused for a second before continuing. "I heard that you've been training hard. Your resistance score was higher than other bodyguards. Do you miss your training already?"

"I just wanted to show everyone how capable women can also be." Paris licked her own lips for a moment before adding, "I actually do miss it a little, to be honest."

Hearing this, Kai shifted her gaze back to Paris. Their eyes meeting with each other, it was always a coincidence. There was silence for a while between them before Kai spoke again. "I'll allow you to go back to your training tomorrow then. If you feel ready."

"Really?" Paris fluttered her eyes.

Kai, "Yeah."

"YES!" Paris exclaimed excitedly while standing up, lifting both of her fists to the air. But she then realized again who was in front of her and quickly put herself back together. "Um, ignore that."

Kai let out a short laugh, finding this adorable. She shook her head before saying. "Don't get too excited. Once you start, you have to keep working hard."

"I know." Paris affirmed.

"Well, I'll be heading out then." Kai turned around, ready to leave, but she was halted by Paris who abruptly held her wrist.
