    Summary

    Stelle hates her corporate job, and cannot quit in good conscience, not without throwing her former teachers' kindness in their faces after they so kindly helped her land a foot in one of the biggest two corporate empires in the continent. So, her next plan is to be so bad at her job that she will get fired—easy, right? Wrong.

    Stelle has a weird boss that refuses to fire her, no matter what she does.

    Summary

    “Just, gimme a sec…”

    Dan Heng caresses her cheek. “As long as you need.”

    Stelle snickers weakly. “What… what if I made you wait an hour for fun?”

    “Then I’d wait an hour,” Dan Heng answers with zero hesitation, petting her face.

    Her eyes widen. “You really do love me, huh?” she says, in awe.

    Dan Heng wants to reply with something like ‘duh’, but he can’t really bring himself to tease her now. “More than anything,” is what he settles on.

    Dan Heng and Stelle’s emotional first time in excruciating detail.

    Summary

    “Come, Pet.” The words sent ice down Miko’s spine. And to invoke them so suddenly… “Sit in Master’s lap.” A direct order. She let her shoulders fall, swallowing back her pride to fit herself just where he'd asked. Ayato’s arms curled around her quickly. “There she is, there’s my girl…”

    “Your girl? Not anymore.” She leaned away, the desk’s edge digging into the small of her back. “Not with how you’ve embarrassed me.”

    “Coming when called, sitting when told… Of course you’re my girl. Tell me,” he began, tugging her tight to his hips, “is my lap more comfortable than your high horse?”

    Summary

    In the corner of her eye, she can spot Dan Heng clenching his spear. Probably to get ready for another bout of fighting. 

    His grip is so fierce his knuckles have turned white.

    ...

    And that's when it hits her. The standoffishness around Phainon, the way he's holding his weapon, the sudden glances he keeps giving her when he thinks she's not looking.

    He's…still not over Phainon breaking Cloud-Piercer, is he?

    Dan Heng and Stelle take part in a sparring festival in Okhema.
