Just then, a phone started ringing.
Tobias instinctively withdrew his hand, looking a little embarrassed.
Russell burst out laughing, but the very next second, when he caught the icy glare from across the room, he hurriedly covered his mouth.
It wasn't his fault. Tobias was the kind of guy who never lost his cool, no matter what, and yet here he was, looking guilty just because of a phone call.
Kaia walked out of the bathroom. "Is that my phone?"
"Yeah." Tobias acted as if nothing at all had happened just now, leaning back on the sofa, but stealing glances at Kaia from the corner of his eye.
Kaia picked up the phone, and when she saw the caller ID, she instinctively looked over at Tobias and Russell.
"You didn't look at my phone, did you?" she asked.
Hearing this, Tobias frowned in displeasure. "What? Do you have something shady on your phone? Or is the person calling you someone out of the ordinary?"
Originally, when Russell had teased earlier, he'd only half-believed it. But now, seeing Kaia's reaction, he couldn't help but start to suspect.
Kaia swept Tobias a strange glance, not understanding why he was suddenly saying such things.
She ignored him, taking the phone upstairs.
The call was from Conrad. The name was saved exactly like that. Judging by Tobias's earlier reaction, he probably hadn't seen it.
"Hello? Why are you calling me out of nowhere?" Kaia asked.
"Miss Bennett, that's a strange question. K&B is your company, not mine. Besides, you can call me, but I can't call you?" Conrad sounded exasperated.
Kaia said, "Oh. Then go ahead, what is it?"
Conrad sighed, "Alright, straight to business. Miss Bennett, do you know Pioneer Retreat?"
"Yeah, what's up with it?" Kaia replied.
Conrad said, "Recently, all the big shots in Morganburg have been vying for the development rights to Pioneer Retreat. Whoever gets it will make a fortune. In the end, they all agreed to settle it with a street race. Whichever side's representative wins gets the rights."
Hearing this, Kaia understood immediately.
"Then let's just get someone top-notch to race for our company," Kaia suggested.
"It's not that simple." Conrad's brows knitted tightly. "Vulture. You heard of him? He's been famous in the street racing scene lately."
Kaia said, "I haven't followed it for the past two years."
Conrad sighed. "Right, you're not part of that world, so of course you wouldn't."
Kaia opened her mouth to say something, but Conrad kept going.
Conrad continued, "This guy's incredible and ruthless. I've heard plenty of people who've raced against him end up in accidents. Upward Entertainment roping him in has been a huge headache for everyone."
He added, "Miss Bennett, you have a wide network. I'm calling to see if you know any top racers we can bring in."
Kaia touched her chin, thought for a moment, and asked, "Is this Vulture really as good as you say?"
Conrad said, "Hold on, I'll send you a clip of him racing. You'll see."
"Alright," Kaia replied.
A few minutes later, after watching the short video Conrad sent, Kaia's expression turned serious.
She remarked, "He's indeed formidable. An average racer wouldn't stand a chance."
Tobias instinctively withdrew his hand, looking a little embarrassed.
