### Summary
Based on the reader reactions, the current chapter centers on a critical mistake: Iliyan Moore fails to properly end a phone call from his obsessive boss, James Taylor, before becoming intimate with his partner, Kyle Hackman. The chapter explicitly reveals James has Iliyan saved as "My Love" in his contacts, causing widespread disgust among readers. Crucially, James is heavily implied (based on reader interpretations like "he definitely heard Iliyan moaning") to have overheard the intimate sounds from Iliyan and Kyle's encounter due to the call not being disconnected. This realization dominates reader responses, generating intense anxiety ("My anxiety didn’t let me enjoy this chapter"), severe secondhand embarrassment ("i almost broke my bedframe"), and profound disgust towards James ("Ewwwwww Taylor you old hag yuckkkkk"). While the explicit nature of the scene is acknowledged ("the smut scenes were hot though"), the overwhelming focus is on the dangerous implications of James overhearing, heightening fears for Iliyan's safety and predicting James will escalate his predatory behavior ("he’s going to be more aggressive and creepy"). Criticisms of Kyle resurface, focusing on him initiating sex during the call despite Iliyan's vulnerabilities.
