Kaia was left speechless.
Joel held the jacket in his hand, pursed his lips, and drove away.
Kaia had worn a man's jacket before, but feeling the lingering warmth from the fabric, there was still something indescribably intimate about it.
Before she could fully process this strange feeling, her hand was taken by Tobias.
His palm was big enough to completely wrap around hers.
"Can I ask you something?" His rich, deep voice sounded even more alluring in the quiet night.
"What is it?" Kaia frowned, thinking to herself, 'Is he starting to get suspicious after all?'
Tobias stopped in his tracks, but he didn't let go of Kaia's hand.
He met her gaze, his expression earnest, and asked, "Have you ever loved someone before?"
Kaia blinked in surprise. Honestly, she'd expected him to ask about Joel or her secret as Dr. Bennett instead.
"Why are you suddenly asking me this?" she asked.
"I asked you first, so you need to answer me first," he replied.
"What kind of love do you mean?" she asked.
Of course, Kaia knew exactly what Tobias meant by 'love', but she still couldn't help asking anyway.
"That kind of feeling," Tobias said, holding her gaze, his eyes intense.
Kaia arched her perfectly shaped brow, a hint of mischief in her eyes. "Oh, you mean romantic one? I thought you were talking about something else."
Tobias was secretly amused by her teasing, a small smile tugging at his lips.
"Hmm... I can't say I've ever been in love," Kaia replied, her tone unhurried. "I've always been busy, never had the time or the mood for romance. Honestly, I kind of like being single."
"Why not give it a shot?" Tobias said, a playful glint in his eyes.
Kaia shot him a look, eyebrow raised. "Give it a shot? With whom? You?"
Tobias just smiled, keeping quiet. It wasn't the moment to lay his feelings bare yet.
"Wait till your birthday in three days. You'll know then," he said.
Kaia was just about to leave when she heard that. She shot Tobias a suspicious look, studying his face closely.
"Just what are you up to?" she asked.
"Wait and see," he replied.
"What if I want to know right now?" she pressed.
Kaia had a gut feeling that on her birthday, the same day Andrea and Louis were getting engaged, Tobias was definitely up to something.
"If you want to know now, you'll have to promise me one thing," he said.
"What is it?" she asked.
Tobias took her hand and pressed it gently against his cheek. "Kiss me here, and I'll tell you."
Kaia's lips twitched in exasperation as she pulled her hand out of his grasp.
'So boring. I'm going to bed,' she thought.
Tobias watched her walk away and let out a happy laugh.
Hearing his unrestrained, flirtatious laughter, Kaia got goosebumps all over her back. She hurried her steps and disappeared into the villa.
Tobias let out another laugh, then went quiet, glancing back in the direction Joel had driven off. He couldn't help but replay Joel's words in his mind, along with the way Joel and Kaia had acted around each other.
'Did Joel just call Kaia the treasure?' Tobias mused, a little amused by the thought.

Three days later, Lincoln and Ruth, along with Louis's parents, rented out a fancy hotel to throw a big engagement party for Andrea and Louis.
The place was packed with guests—socialites, business moguls, and all the city's elite.
Louis's mom, Maisie Ross, was all smiles as she dragged Andrea around, showing her off to everyone she could find.
"This is my future daughter-in-law, Andrea. Seriously, she's incredible! Even Professor Weaver is super impressed with her," Maisie bragged, her pride on full display.
"Professor Weaver? Which one are you talking about?" a socialite asked, looking puzzled.
