“Yeah, exactly! You know those workplace reality shows?” Jude said. “Have you ever watched any?”

Kaia blinked. “Wait–Jude, you’re going to be a mentor on one of those?”

Jude let out a long sigh. “Looks like it. We’ll see what Alex says in a few days.”

Kaia didn’t think too much of it.

It was Friday–the day she was due back at the Graves Manor for dinner.

Lucien’s car had a license plate that drew attention wherever it went, so she asked him to park by the side entrance.

A few minutes before work ended, she slipped out and got into the car unnoticed.

Lucien was already lounging in the back seat, his posture relaxed, a small smile playing on his lips.

“You really that afraid of your coworkers finding out?” he asked, amused.

“Not exactly,” Kaja said as she buckled her seatbelt. “I just want to keep a low profile.”

Lucien didn’t even blink. “Of course. More than open.”

His voice was calm, but there was no mistaking the eagerness beneath it.

“I’m always available. We’ll work around his schedule.”

Kaia raised an eyebrow slightly.

Is he being… too agreeable?

“…Okay,” she said slowly. “I’ll tell Jude.”
