“I’ve often heard my father mention you. You’re the final student of the legendary Dr. Eleanor Vance. My dad admires you greatly. Meeting you today, I see your reputation is well-deserved. I haven’t been sleeping well lately. Would you mind checking my pulse and giving me some health advice?” Jackson asked, extending his right hand for her to diagnose. Kaia paused, a bit surprised by the sudden medical request.
She smiled and nodded, placing her fingers on his pulse point, her expression turning focused and professional.
Not far away, Finnian stood frozen.
He had just stepped off the elevator looking for Kaia, only to see her heading down in another elevator with a young man. He followed them and searched the area until he spotted the two of them sitting in the cafe, with Kaia’s fingers resting on the man’s wrist.
Warren’s words from earlier crashed like tidal waves in his chest.
So, did they come here for dinner, or for a blind date?
Just as Kaia was about to offer Jackson a few recommendations, she caught sight of the tall figure standing outside the glass window.
Finnian had one hand casually tucked into his pocket as he leaned against the railing. His posture seemed relaxed, but his gaze was locked intensely on their table.
Kaia withdrew her hand from Jackson’s, pulled out her phone to write him a prescription, and advised him to avoid staying up late.
Noticing the sudden shift in Kaia’s demeanor, Jackson turned around and saw the tall man standing there. He hadn’t realized how long the man had been watching them.

A faint smirk touched Finnian’s lips. “My brother and I visited his fa while back, so I’ve met him before. As you probably know, our com keeps a confidential talent roster. Besides, his parents are promine figures, and he’s considered a rising star. I know his background. Is a problem?”
“Finnian, you’re being ridiculous.” Kaia turned her face away, refusing entertain the conversation.
