The dreadful term boss! He thought she liked him, but she merely saw him as a boss! His presumption was deeply embarrassing.
Unable to contain his anger, Liam blurted out,
"Don't call me boss!"
"Then, what should I call you?" Maureen had finished drying off his red hair and tossed the towel aside.
She picked up the hairdryer and began drying his hair.
With a sorrowful tone Liam said, "I was too young and impulsive, making you my underling was my aloofness, and now you are not my underling anymore."
Maureen was at a loss for words, "...". Was he acting younger within just a month? Liam lowered his voice, saying, "You can continue calling me Liam."
"…" After drying his hair until it was fluffy and dry, Maureen turned off his hairdryer.
She raised her eyes to meet Liam's gaze.
His eyes were red. She didn't know whether it was due to his fever or something else.
