Hearing her delighted reaction now reassured Katelyn that the choice had been worth it.

After taking a shower, Alfy headed to the room Katelyn had prepared for her. When she stepped inside, her voice rang out with even more excitement.

“Wow, this room is amazing! It’s so pretty!”

The room was decorated with a charming, playful style. A plush, inviting bed, complete with a pink teddy bear, exuded warmth and comfort. Everything felt cozy.

and welcoming. The soft breeze outside stirred the delicate white curtains, making the space feel peaceful and serene.

Alfy, thrilled by her surroundings, jumped onto the bed and rolled around a few times, giggling with happiness.

Katelyn had really thought of everything.

She adored it!!

Although Katelyn had already finished washing up and was lying in her bed, she could still hear Alfy’s cheerful exclamations from the next room. A smile tugged at her lips.

Lying there in the quiet, she felt at ease.

The tension from the incident earlier seemed to melt away, like it never even happened.

No matter what else happened, the people she cared about were still there for her.

With that thought, a sense of calm washed over her, and Katelyn drifted into sleep.

Over the following days, Jaxen devoted himself to showing Alfy the best of Granville. Katelyn, tied up with her demanding schedule, let them enjoy their adventures without interruption.

On this particular day, Katelyn sat in the design department manager’s office, focused on her sketches when her phone rang unexpectedly.

Seeing Vincent’s name on the screen, she answered without hesitation.

“Could you come up for a moment?” Vincent’s voice came through.

Katelyn didn’t think much of it, responding casually, “Sure, Mr. Adams.”

She set her sketches aside, grabbed her phone, and made her way to the CEO’s office.

At the door of the CEO’s office—

Knock knock.

Katelyn raised her hand and knocked softly.

Moments later, Vincent’s voice rumbled from within.

“Come in.”

Katelyn then opened the door and entered.

Vincent sat at his desk, his focus unwavering as he sifted through the papers before him. Only when Katelyn stepped inside did he lift his gaze.

His normally stoic expression softened just a touch as he gestured to something on his desk.
