As Thalia rose to leave, Kyle furrowed his brows. “Where are you going?”
“Let's go back!” Thalia said.
“Go back? To where?” Kyle asked.
“Um...” Thalia suddenly stopped mid-sentence, staring at Kyle. She blinked, momentarily at a loss for words.
She wasn't sure if she should tell him to his face that she was going to DX's territory.
Seeing that she fell silent, Kyle seemed to understand something. His dark eyes slightly narrowed as he looked at her. “What, you really think you're part of DX now?”
“I'm not—”
“Where are you going, then?”
“My boyfriend's still there.” Thalia asked hesitatingly.
“Boyfriend?” Kyle looked at her, then slowly walked toward her. “Don't tell me your boyfriend is now with DX.”
Thalia immediately shook her head. “No, absolutely not,” she said. “I've told you before, he's a doctor without borders. He's there solely to take care of Kenneth, and he has nothing to do with DX!”
Kyle looked at her intently. Thalia sighed helplessly. “I'm telling the truth.”
“It best be that,” Kyle said.
“Don't worry, my boyfriend belongs only to me, not to anyone else!” said Thalia.
Seeing her flaunting her love, Kyle directly rolled his eyes.
Seeing that he had fallen silent, Thalia said, “If there's nothing else, I'll be going now. Bye.”
“Wait.”
Thalia turned her head to look at him, “Is there anything else?”
“Sit down.” Kyle signaled.
“What's up?”
“You're leaving this mess all to me?” Kyle asked.
“What do you mean by that? This was always your issue,” Thalia said confidently. “You should be thanking me for telling you the truth. Otherwise, you would have lost a talent like Anthony.”
Kyle furrowed his brows. He felt he couldn't talk about that matter. He could only discuss it with Thalia.
Suddenly, a thought struck Thalia. She leaned in closer and said, “Oh right, there's something else I forgot to tell you.”
The moment Kyle saw that expression, he immediately furrowed his brows. “If you have something to say, say it all at once. Don't drop it bit by bit. My heart can't take it.”
Seeing him like that, Thalia couldn't help but laugh. “To think the famous and decisive Kyle also has days when his heart can't take it.”
“How about you take my seat?”
“Forget it,” Thalia interrupted with a wave of her hand. “I'm a lazy glutton, so I'm not cut out for this.”
“What exactly are you trying to say? Speak up already.”
“You met Benjamin before, right? Do you remember him?” Thalia asked.
“I do.” Kyle said, “You've already told me before.”
“There's one thing I've never told you.”
“What?”
“Benjamin is a genius in design.”
“A design genius? What does he design?”
Thalia remained silent, pulling out her phone once again to flip through the photos.
Kyle looked at her, his handsome brows furrowing. “Is there something you can't say directly?”
While rummaging through her pictures, Thalia said, “It's not that I can't. It's just that words fail to express the absolute shock in my heart.” As she spoke, she found the photo.
She enlarged the photo directly and placed it in front of him.
