She awkwardly touched the dip of her nose, took a deep breath, and answered the video call.
The screen revealed his sharp, defined features-deep-set eyes, a strong nose, and thin lips. As her gaze shifted, Austin's deep voice cthrough. "What are you doing?" Gone was his usual cold demeanor. His gaze softened as he looked at her.

Snapping back to reality, she smiled. "Just finished work. Are you done for the day?" She had just spoken when she saw him lift a cup of coffee and take a sip. She frowned. "Why are you drinking coffee this late?" Austin paused, then slowly placed the cup back on the table, a slight smile tugging at his lips. "I still have a few contracts to review." Suzanne studied his face closely, noticing the traces of fatigue.
Her grip on the phone tightened, the earlier awkwardness dissipating. "Don't stay up too late. It's bad for your health." Austin's gaze remained on her, growing warmer. "Alright." He instinctively reached for the coffee again but stopped when he remembered her words. He set it back down. Suzanne's lips curled into a smile. The atmosphere between them felt much more relaxed than before. Holding her phone, she walked toward her dressing room.
Setting the phone down on the jewelry counter, she suddenly recalled something and looked at Austin. "About that trending topic from a few days ago... Jenson and I just happened to meet." She felt the need to explain. Austin was her husband, and she didn't want any misunderstandings between them. Trust was the foundation of their relationship. Austin's fingers on the table stilled for a moment before he calmly replied, "I know." Though he had been away on a business trip, he had been keeping an eye on things in Dudore.
More importantly, he trusted Suzanne. The fact that she openly explained things only strengthened that trust. Seeing his reaction, Suzanne didn't dwell on the topic.
She turned to pick out clothes for the night and casually asked, "When are you coming back?" Austin had been away for quite stime. Though they hadn't been together for long, she had grown used to his presence. Now, coming hto an empty house felt unfamiliar.
His fingers tapped lightly on the table as he watched her. A small smile played on his lips. "It'll take a while. I need to finish this project first." Suzanne nodded in understanding. "Alright." Leaning back in his chair, his deep eyes remained fixed on her. "How are you getting along with the bodyguard I arranged for you?" Suzanne placed her clothes down and smiled. "She's great."
Roselynn was young but skilled, with a playful yet genuine personality.

A faint smirk appeared on Austin's lips. "As long as you're satisfied. If you need another, I can arrange it." He still felt that having just one bodyguard wasn't enough. If something happened, he wouldn't be able to reach her in time.
Suzanne waved her hands quickly. "No, no. One is enough. Roselynn is very capable."
Seeing her slightly exasperated expression, Austin's deep eyesgleamed with amusement. "You're different from most women. Others love having an entourage to boost their status." But Suzanne found it troublesome.
She shot him a playful glare. "I'd rather go out alone, but you won't let me."
She had always been independent. Having Roselynn around had taken sgetting used to. Panother bodyguard joined the picture, she would feel even more restricted.
