'Wait, could it really be true? Did Kaia actually end up dating the richest guy in all of Morganburg?' Andrea was totally floored by the thought.
Suddenly, she remembered all that talk just days ago about the city's top billionaire getting engaged. She and her friends had gossiped nonstop, dying of envy over the lucky girl who was about to marry into a life of luxury.
'Wait, if Tobias really is Morganburg's billionaire, then the girl I've been idolizing all along… is Kaia?' Andrea felt her whole world spin. 'No way. No freaking way!'
No matter what, she just couldn't wrap her head around it, not in a million years.
'Who says the guy in the investor seat has to be the CEO? He could be just some big shot's flunky for all I know. Whatever the truth is, I have to find out the real story!' Andrea resolved, refusing to let it go.
With that thought, Andrea bit the bullet and nervously headed over to Tobias.
As soon as Kaia walked in, she spotted Andrea making her way over to Tobias.
Penny saw it too. "Kaia, look at Andrea! She's totally trying to hit on your Mr. Moreno, isn't she?"
"Doesn't look like it to me," Kaia replied.
"Not like it? Come on, that's exactly what she's doing!" Penny insisted.
"Nah, I think she's just walking in to get herself roasted," Kaia replied with a straight face.
Seeing how dead serious Kaia looked, Penny couldn't help but burst out laughing, covering her mouth. "Totally! You're right. She's definitely going in just to get embarrassed."
Andrea approached Tobias, forcing a practiced air of elegance, but her movements were just a little too staged and artificial.
"What do you want?" Tobias asked, his tone ice-cold, not even a trace of emotion on his face as he looked at her.
Just standing near him, Andrea felt a heavy, natural authority pressing down. He didn't need to say anything threatening, and no actor could ever fake this kind of magnetism. It was the unmistakable confidence of someone born and raised to rule the upper echelons of society.
As his intimidating presence washed over her, Andrea found herself even more convinced she'd guessed right.
"Uh, are you... with the Moreno Group?" Andrea asked, her words coming out nervous and shaky.
"What's it to you?" Tobias replied.
"It's just... everyone back in Kaia's hometown is saying you're actually the CEO of the Moreno Group. Is that true?" Andrea asked again.
Tobias narrowed his eyes, his expression dark and unreadable. He didn't need to speak, just sitting there, the weight of his presence made Andrea feel like she was suffocating. She was so shaken she didn't dare breathe, let alone speak again.
"You can leave now." Tobias didn't bother to hide how unwelcome she was.
Andrea tried to speak, but realized her legs were totally numb, and not just her legs, her whole body felt frozen in place. She was so tensed up, she couldn't move at all.
'His presence is so intense, it's honestly kind of scary,' Andrea admitted to herself, shuddering at just how much Tobias could make people feel threatened.
Just as Andrea was about to escape Tobias's suffocating aura, she caught a sudden shift in his expression. The icy look that could freeze anyone melted in an instant, softening into a warmth so tender it could drown whoever met his eyes.
Andrea was curious what could flip him so fast. She followed Tobias's stare to Kaia and a rush of jealousy hit her so hard she almost wanted to rush up and wreck her face.
Right then, her mind was overflowing with bitter frustration. She simply couldn't stand how unfair it all felt. 'Why her? How come Kaia gets everything handed to her?'
'This time, I'll be the champion of the research contest and smoothly join Dr. Bennett's institute. I'll prove to everyone that I'm no less than Kaia,' Andrea promised herself.
She truly believed that once she became part of Dr. Bennett's institute, she'd excel and stand out in the research field.
