So far, I like how the author used the side character, personal assistant, in this chapter (59).
Usually, a character is introduced to make the ML/MC jealous. However, usually the reaction from the ML or MC would be blown out of proportion and muddle the relationship even more or nothing would happen to the relationship of the main couple - so unnecessary.
But here, nothing is blown out of proportion. Instead, the situation is used to help the MC realize his own shortcomings, e.i. the realisation that all he had been doing is focusing on his own problems and taking the presence of his lover for granted. Not that he doesn't deserve the TLC and spoiling he had been receiving from the ML because he does 1000%. He has suffered enough. But too much of that is not good in the long run for his mental health and their relationship. Their would become a tendency for him to be too dependent on the ML. And that is a heavy burden.
So hopefully, the next episode we'll see them both talk it out and the MC open himself to ML so that they can both work their problems together.
And they would live happily ever after
And of course, I still hate that personal assistant character. He is such a sneaky crazy lil bitch.
