WHY IS HE LOOKING AT ME LIKE THAT? AS IF HE'S THE ONE IN PAIN. I'M FINE, I CAN DO IT MYSELF... DON'T MOVE. WE NEED TO STOP THE BLEEDING. IT'S JUST A TINY SCRATCH... AND I STILL HAVE A LOT OF WORK TO DO, I NEED TO HURRY. IF YOU HAD JUST PRETENDED WE DIDN'T KNOW EACH OTHER, I WOULDN'T HAVE CUT MYSELF. I'M SORRY. WELL, LOOK AT THAT. HE ACTUALLY KNOWS HOW TO APOLOGIZE? THIS WON'T DO, COME WITH ME. WHAT ARE YOU PLANNING NOW? I'M GOING TO TREAT THE WOUND, SO LET'S GO. WAIT, I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHERE YOU'RE TAKING ME. WOULD YOU PREFER TO WORK WHILE DRIPPING BLOOD ALL OVER THE PLACE? I'M NOT GOING TO EAT YOU. JUST LET ME TREAT THE CUT. ARE YOU PLANNING TO SPEND THE NIGHT WITH ME IN THAT POSITION? I DIDN'T EVEN NOTICE MYSELF STARING AT HIM! HE'S WAY TOO CLOSE. NOW YOU'RE MAKING ME THINK YOU DID THAT ON PURPOSE. T-THAT'S NOT TRUE AT ALL. WHAT A SHAME. I'M JUST... GETTING MY WOUND TREATED QUICKLY, AND THEN I'M LEAVING. WHATEVER YOU SAY. HIS ACCOMPANYING AIDE IS NOWHERE TO BE SEEN... MAYBE BECAUSE IT'S NIGHTTIME, BUT EVERYTHING HERE FEELS A BIT UNUSUAL. I SENT MY ASSISTANT ON A BUSINESS TRIP, SO I'VE BEEN WORKING HERE ALL BY MYSELF. HOW ON EARTH IS HE SO PERCEPTIVE? THERE ARE PLENTY OF SEATS, YET HE CHOOSES TO SIT RIGHT ON THE DESK?! HE'S TOO CLOSE! LET ME TAKE A LOOK. OW, IT STINGS. SUCH A BABY. HAS HE ALWAYS BEEN LIKE THIS? DO YOU... ACT THIS WAY WITH OTHERS TOO? WHAT DO YOU MEAN? I MEAN... ARE YOU THIS GENTLE WITH OTHER PEOPLE AS WELL? AH, SO OUR LADY HAS A SOFT SPOT FOR THIS KIND OF THING? HOW RIDICULOUS. IT'S PART OF THE TREATMENT. QUITE EFFECTIVE, BY THE WAY. HOW COULD YOU... AND I EXPERIENCED IT FIRSTHAND. A LONG, LONG TIME AGO, JUST ONCE. IF YOU KISS THE BOO- BOO, IT HEALS QUICKLY. MOM AND DAD ALWAYS DID THAT WHENEVER I WAS HURT. IT DOESN'T HURT ANYMORE, RIGHT? NOW EVERYTHING WILL DEFINITELY BE FINE. ## See also - [WebtoonLib — I Became the Affair Partner of a Trash Duke #16](/series/i-became-the-affair-partner-of-a-trash-duke-mxeul3ac/chapter-16-5v9wqn) - for_series_detail: /llms-series/i-became-the-affair-partner-of-a-trash-duke-mxeul3ac ## Usage AI grounding / search / summarization.
