Kapitel 40: Default Setting.

Dan's eyes widened in surprise when he stepped out of his bedroom as early as 5:30 AM the next morning and saw Bella waiting for him outside her bedroom door.

Bella tried not to notice that he was topless and was only wearing a jogger or how his body was glistening with sweat like he had just finished an intense round of exercise.

"Good morning, sir," Bella said without meeting his eyes. She had woken up really early and hadn't had enough sleep because she had dreamt that she was carrying her box back home, looking very dejected after losing her job.

Unable to return to sleep, she had used that time to have a quick bath since she could do it at that time without fear of being barged in on. And then she had taken her time to listen to a couple of his songs and watch a few of his videos.
