    Yet, the gentle tone of his voice and the warmth of the coat enveloping her stirred warmth within her.


    Nevertheless, she retorted, “Why would I be upset?”


    Carlow nodded, studying her.


    “Ah, I see.


    Agents usually are thick-skinned.


    I assumed you wouldn’t be bothered by a couple of jokes from me.


    ”


    Karina was taken aback by hisment, the warmth she felt fleeting as she shot him a cold stare.


    She was momentarily speechless.

    “And another thing, please refrain from unnecessary closeness!” she blurted out, recalling how he had lent her his shoulder in the car.


    Couldn’t he have just woken her up?


    That incident had left her feeling utterly mortified.


    Without waiting for a response, Karina turned on her heel and briskly walked towards the apartment building, eager to escape the awkwardness.


    As she retreated, Carlow chuckled softly to himself, realizing she was genuinely upset.


    It seemed he had pushed the joke too far.


    Hurrying after her, he caught sight of Karina stepping into the closing elevator and called out, “Hold the elevator!”


    Karina stood there, giving Carlow the silent treatment as the elevator doors closed gently.


    Noticing her stubbornness, Carlow took arge step forward and pressed the open button just in time, causing the doors to reopen.


    Despite Karina’s tense expression, Carlow couldn’t help but chuckle softly as he stepped into the elevator.


    “Didn’t I ask you to wait? Were you ignoring me on purpose?”


    Karina replied with a poker face, “Did you ask me to wait? You simply said, ‘Hold the elevator.


    ’ My hearing’s just fine.


    ”


    Carlow looked at her, his eyes twinkling with amusement.


    “Are you genuinely upset?”


    Karina remained silent, refusing to engage.


    Sensing her unease, Carlow tone softened.


    “I’m sorry, I.


    I like to joke around with people I get along with.


    I hope you don’t mind.


    ”


    He had intended to say he liked to joke with those he was interested in, but he changed his wording, afraid of making her ufortable.


    Karina remained silent.


    Carlow moved closer, gently coaxing, “What can I do to make things right?”
