Zayne eased the car to a smooth stop in front of the grand estate, its tall gates framing an inviting pathway. He turned to June, his voice soft and encouraging. "We're here, June," he said with a reassuring smile.
June glanced out of the window, her fingers nervously fumbling with the seatbelt buckle. "I feel a little anxious," she admitted, finally managing to release the belt. Her eyes darted to the towering house ahead, her apprehension clear.
Zayne noticed her unease and reached over, his warm hand enveloping hers. He gave her a gentle squeeze. "You're my boss. How can you be nervous?" he teased lightly, his thumb brushing against her fingers to soothe her nerves.
June arched an eyebrow at him, her lips curving into a small smirk. "At work, yes. But outside of it, I'm allowed to be human, no?" she countered, a hint of playfulness filling her tone.
