My words caused Emma to shake her head.
"People usually ask their bosses to go easy on them. But alright! Since you told me I can go hard on you, you better prepare yourself. I will work you to the bone."
Emma seemed to be going back to her normal self, and I felt a sense of relief wash over me. It was strong enough to make me stagger, and I let out a sigh.
I felt eyes on me, and when I looked up, Theo was giving me a small smile that I returned.
Things were going to be just fine. I was sure about this now.
However, things did not return back to normal right away. Emma and Ben left to check up on the café the next day, and that left me, Kuro, and Theo all alone in the house.
I had quite a bit to talk about with Theo, but the thought of bringing up any of the topics felt… awkward. I was not ready to speak up just yet.
Theo, on the other hand, seemed to be avoiding me, and I had a feeling it was because of his body's reaction to my scent.
