Devin couldn't help but grumble to himself at the message.
'Mr. Moreno is asking me, but who am I supposed to ask? I'm just as stunned as he is,' Devin thought, his jaw still hanging open in disbelief.
[Why don't you just ask Miss Bennett?] Devin replied.
Devin could practically feel the stormy jealousy radiating from Tobias through the phone screen.
[Boss, want me to send you the address? You can come check it out yourself.] Devin offered.
Tobias texted back, [Better not. She'll think I'm following her around on purpose.]
[Want me to back off?] Devin asked.
[Keep tailing them. If anything happens, report to me right away.] Tobias replied.
Sweat was pouring down Devin's forehead. 'Anything happens? Man, I really hope nothing does. The last thing I want is to catch Kaia and Joel getting all lovey-dovey,' he thought, feeling more and more anxious.
He couldn't help but wonder, 'What if they're a couple? If I do see something I shouldn't, do I send it to Mr. Moreno or just pretend I never saw it?'
Tobias looked so grim that the maid bringing in his coffee almost dropped the cup just from one glance at him.
He sat there with his fingers laced on the table, lips pressed tight, looking like he could freeze the whole room with just his glare.
He thought to himself, 'She had lunch with people from the institute earlier, so the one she knows is probably Joel...'
Kaia and Joel finally wrapped up their meal after over an hour.
"I'll walk you home," Joel said, standing up.
Kaia glanced at Joel's face. "You're gonna walk me home like this?"
"I'll switch faces," Joel said, rubbing his face.
Kaia looked around. "Didn't you think someone was taking pictures of us earlier? What if they're still hanging around? If you turn into Frank now, you might get exposed. We should just go our separate ways."
"No way. It's late, and you never know when some idiot thug might jump out. It's not the first time, either," Joel said.
Kaia's drop-dead gorgeous looks were enough to turn heads and attract trouble just by walking down the street.
Kaia raised her fist. "I can handle myself."
Joel thought for a second, then said, "I know I'm a bit of a hassle right now, but there's no way I'm letting you walk home alone this late. Even if I have to risk my life, I'm sticking with you. Just let me come along. Relax, I'll drop you off near Moreno Manor and head back."
"Fine," Kaia finally gave in.
Devin immediately messaged Tobias to let him know they were leaving.
[Looks like they're heading back toward Moreno Manor.] Devin messaged.
Even though Devin sounded chill, inside, he was totally freaking out.
'Joel? He's Dr. Bennett's top bodyguard! And now he's personally walking Kaia home!'
'Could it be that Kaia and Joel are actually... together?' Devin thought, his heart pounding.
Devin gulped loudly. He knew his boss was totally into Kaia, and if Kaia and Joel were actually a thing...
He sucked in a sharp breath, not daring to finish that thought. All he could do was pray to god they weren't together!
When Tobias got the message, the chill in the room seemed to deepen, matching his darkening mood.
"Achoo!" Kaia sneezed.
"What's wrong? Are you cold? You're not dressed warmly enough. I brought a jacket with me. Here, put it on," Joel said, his voice full of concern.
Kaia rubbed her nose. "It's not a cold. I just... sneezed for no reason."
"Just put the jacket on anyway. Even if you're not sick, better safe than sorry. If you catch a cold, those professors will be all over you, nagging around you," Joel said.
