Lila shook her head, unable to imagine what Noah would've said. It was hard to picture his reaction when he found out that Ruby had feelings for him. He was a smart guy, but when it came to matters of the heart, he was noticeably oblivious.

Then again, perhaps it was just the way they'd all assumed things. For instance, she had always thought Ruby and Kieran were into each other, which made everything they did seem to have some deeper meaning.

Because of that, she'd missed Ruby's intentions. Now, after Amelia had explained everything, she looked back at the events, and it all seemed to make sense. It was like how Ruby always came to watch Noah's matches and how she seemed so interested in the gifts Noah had given her.

Even at their first meeting, at Ruby's welcoming dinner, when she had been so eager to ask Noah questions. She had been waiting for her crush to show up.

Amelia was practically in stitches, watching Lila zone out, clearly guessing what was on her mind. Waving her hand dismissively, she said, "I didn't tell him that Ruby's crush was on him."

"Huh?"

Noticing the confusion on Lila's face, Amelia laughed even harder, almost doubling over. She couldn't believe such a big mix-up had happened. Noah was just so clueless.

"I just asked Noah why he didn't get out of the car that day," she explained. After a moment to calm down, she continued, "Noah said he thought it was some arrogant heiress. But when he saw it was Ms. Clemence, he didn't even have the heart to watch the drama unfold, so he just drove off. That's the truth, pieced together from both of their accounts."
