Wesley’s words hit me like a bomb that went off right next to my ear. I just froze while staring at him, totally blank for a while.
“Wesley, what are you talking about?” I shot back without thinking. “I’m still young, I don’t want to talk about stuff like this!”
“What do you mean, young?” Wesley didn’t care at all. He just waved it off and said, “When I married your godmother, she was about your age. This is the perfect time for young people to start dating.”
I was completely at a loss for words.
His comment left me completely speechless.
Then Wesley turned to Stephan, sounding really sincere. “Stephan, what do you think? Amanda may not be my real daughter, but I care about her even more than if she were my own. If you two got together, I could finally stop worrying about her.”
My heart skipped a beat. Please just turn him down, Stephan. Just say no.
But he didn’t. He just replied in a gentle voice, “Mr. Steele, feelings take time to develop. It’s my first time meeting Ms. Lamb, so of course there’s no real connection yet, but we can get to know each other better over time.”
Wesley looked thrilled with that answer. He turned back to me, trying to convince me. “See how sensible Stephan is? Amanda, trust me, I have good judgment. He’s really the right guy for you.”
That was when I finally realized-today was never just about “introducing a helper.” This was a matchmaking setup!
My mind raced. Thinking on my feet, I blurted out, “Sorry, Wesley. I had no idea you were trying to set me up with Stephan. I’m actually in a relationship already.”
As soon as I finished, the whole room went silent. It felt like even the air stopped moving.
It took several seconds before Wesley finally spoke again, his voice full of disbelief. “Amanda, you better not be joking! You’re dating someone How come you never mentioned it to me before?”
I was sweating like crazy. I’d just made this up, but now that it was out, there was no going back.

I just kept a straight face and pretended to be completely serious. “We just started seeing each other not long ago, so things aren’t really settled yet. That’s why I didn’t tell you. Once things are official, I promise I’ll bring him to meet you
Wesley stared at me for a long time. I guess I looked serious enough that he started to doubt if I was telling the truth.
“Are you really telling the truth?” he pressed me again.
I quickly nodded several times. “Of course I am!
Wesley finally turned to Stephan, looking apologetic.
Stephan just smiled and waved it off. His tone was easy as he said, “Mr. Steele, it’s fine. Meeting Ms. Lamb is already an honor for me. Maybe we aren’t meant to be together.”
“You never know about fate!” Wesley still sounded a little reluctant. He looked back at me. “Amanda, if you really do have a boyfriend, you’d better bring him here next time so I can check him out. I need to make sure no one takes advantage of you.”
I was just about to reply when I suddenly heard quick footsteps outside. A guard hurried in, respectfully reporting to Wesley. “Beta, someone tried to break through our security line outside. Our men have already got him under control. How do you want us to handle it?”
Wesley waved him off, sounding annoyed. “Just leave him there for now, I’ll deal with it later.”
“Wait!” I suddenly remembered something and quickly called out to the guard. “Is he a guy in his twenties? His name’s Theo?”
The guard paused for a second, then nodded. “Yes, Ms Lamb. He appears to be in his twenties, but we didn’t get his name yet.”
I checked the time on my phone and understood right away-it had to be Theo.
I turned to Wesley in a hurry. “Wesley, he’s a friend of mine, not some criminal. Please let him go!”
“Friend?” Wesley raised his eyebrows, clearly suspicious. He looked between me and the guard, then asked, “Amanda, tell me the truth. Is that young guy the boyfriend you just mentioned?”
“No!” I quickly waved my hands, trying to explain. “Wesley, you’re overthinking it. He’s really just a friend. He even works for me at the studio He probably just got worried about my safety and rushed over.”
Seeing how anxious and serious I was, Wesley seemed to buy my explanation. He told the guard, “Go bring him in.”
