Chapter 1574: Leave it to me

"You're hungry?"

Seeing Hugo pause, then nod, made Kiara's face twitch slightly.

Was she a vending machine to him now?

Kiara frowned, her heart sinking as she started to see Hugo as a younger version of Stephen. But unlike Stephen, who wouldn't stop talking, this one seemed like he wanted to play a guessing game with her.

She sighed in defeat. "I still have some snacks in the office. I'll probably make something from there."

"Tch." Hugo clicked his tongue and pulled up his visor, looking at her with a deadpan expression. "I am hungry, yes, but I'm not asking you to feed me. Though that's nice of you, and I don't mind if you do."

"Oh."

"Hop in," he said, reaching for his visor again. "Grace called and told me to take you to her office. She's taking the case, but she also needs..."

Hugo trailed off, looking back slowly as Kiara somehow magically appeared in his backseat.

"That was... quick."

"Let's go," she urged, tugging the hem of his jacket. "I'll do whatever she needs. Anything."

"Hah." He let out a short, shallow laugh before sliding off the extra helmet hooked on his arm, then passed it to her. "I know you would. Here."

Surprised, she gazed down at the smaller helmet he handed to her. A small smile crept onto her face before she took it and put it on. The pleasant scent of the helmet — a mix of floral shampoo and faint feminine cologne - quickly filled her senses.

Is this someone else's helmet?

Her thoughts were cut off when Hugo spoke.
