Just then, the guy in the driver’s seat fumbled for his phone, attempting a sneaky picture.

But in a flash, Damien Taylor plucked the device right from Liam’s grasp. “Trying to get a new phone the hard way?”

“Hey! The, uh, the city lights looked cool from here,” Liam stammered with an awkward laugh. “Thought I’d grab a shot.”

Damien fixed him with a silencing glare before tossing the phone back.

Liam quickly opened a group chat named “The Investigation Committee.”

Dorothy Taylor: Well? Any intel? Where’s the photo proof?

Liam: Busted by Damien. But seriously, she’s a stunner. Way out of our bro’s league, if you ask me. No need to panic.

Dorothy: So… no photo? You’re useless!

Mr. Taylor: Everyone, be patient. We’ll meet her soon enough.

Dorothy: Oh, I’m the impatient one? Remind me, whose idea was this chat?

Mr. Taylor: … Not now. I’m on the green.

The venue was a glitzy five-star hotel.

As Amelia Johnson stepped out of the car, Liam sidled up to Damien, his face alight with gossip. “Seriously, man, where’d you find her? She’s drop-dead gorgeous.”

“Don’t be crass,” Damien replied coolly, Amelia’s coat draped over his arm, still holding her residual warmth.

Liam shot him a knowing grin. “Big night tonight, huh? You know… perfect opportunity to-”

“A gentleman doesn’t elaborate on such thoughts,” Damien cut him off, his voice icy.

“I wasn’t finished!” Liam protested.

Damien gave him a sidelong glance. “You didn’t need to be. I know exactly what you were implying.”

“Just trying to help! She seems a bit… indifferent toward you, that’s all,” Liam said with a sheepish chuckle.

“Indifferent?” Damien’s eyebrow arched sharply.

Liam immediately backtracked. “Slip of the tongue! She’s totally playing hard to get. Classic move. I’ve seen it a million times.”
