His mind was flooded with thoughts of her—her delicate face, her soft lips, her small nose, her rounded earlobes... Suddenly, his eyes snapped open, a look of joyous surprise flashing within them. He hastily grabbed his phone, played the video again, paused it at a certain point, and zoomed in. After carefully examining the image, he finally let out a long, deep sigh of relief.
He calmed himself and reviewed the detail one more time before grabbing his jacket, phone, and car keys and rushing out.
"Boss, once she's eliminated, can I finally be with you openly?"
"Mm."
The man was silent for a moment before giving his reply and heading into the bathroom. That might have been what he said, but what he thought was, 'You can never replace her!'
