ricka Huston scoffed inwardly but said evenly: “I only want what’s mine. I’m possessive–won’t take anything others touched. This piano’s fine, Mr. Argent, just not for me.”

She was hinting at something.

She knew Kieran Argent would catch her drift.

rieka Huston met his eyes with a thin smile: “Besides, whatever I want, my boyfriend buys if I don’t. Keep this piano for Mrs. Argent. Heard she’s touring globally next month–might catch a show.”

Every word was airtight.

Kieran Argent slowly raised his gaze, eyes dark and heavy.

rieka Huston still couldn’t read his expression, same as years before.

Kieran Argent stayed silent.

rieka Huston said tly: “Mr. Argent, if we’re done, can we discuss ck–White Rabbit’s copyright?”

“You promised.”

Kieran Argent seemed to recall then, fingers gliding over piano keys, drawing out a cheerful/melody.

Suddenly, he mmed a key–the note thudded dully.

rieka Huston waited quietly for his answer.

What came was one abrupt, disconnected sentence.

“Five years abroad–you’ve really grown up.”

Kieran Argent’s voice was low and cold.

ricka Huston smiled faintly, deflecting: “Everyone grows. Your child must be nearly five? When’s the birthday? I’ll send a gift.”

Kieran Argent looked up: “That child fears you.”

rieka Huston understood, arching a brow: “I’ve done nothing to him.”

Kieran Argent watched her.

That look…

Irritation red in rieka Huston, but her voice stayed icy calm: “What, Mr. Argent, suspecting me again?”

Kieran Argent turned, walking a few steps while saying: “No need for gifts.”

rieka Huston opened her mouth to protest when he leaned against the wall, arms folded, nodding toward the piano.

“y a piece for me.”

rieka maintained her smile. “Mr. Argent, I haven’t practiced piano in five years, and I already declined earlier.”

Kieran Argent nodded/solemnly, waiting for her to finish before speaking. “y one piece, and I’ll discuss the ck–White Rabbit game rights with you.”

rieka: How are you not dead from all that arrogance?

ricka’s fingers lightly touched the keys, pressing down with gentle force. As her fingers danced, light, melodious notes flowed–leisurely in rhythm, tender in tone.

She yed an ordinary piece, devoid of special meaning.

Perfect for her and Kieran.

Harsh room lights bathed the woman, casting a halo around her. Her skirt rippled like water, framing her graceful, proportionate figure- utterly captivating.

From Kieran’s perspective, the scene resembled a professionally shot movie frame.
