Kaylee smiled with satisfaction as soon as Lydia finished retransforming her appearance to become Roe. She looked even prettier than usual as if Roe was going to a concert and doing a solo performance.
But… isn't this too much? She would only meet her client, and she was sure that Lydia already knows about it.
"Lydia, you know I don't have a concert schedule. Why are you dressing me like this?"
"Didn't you say you were going out on a date? Of course, you have to look pretty for your first date."
"I'm not going on a date. I just only will meet him. That's all."
"The meeting between a girl and a man is called a date. There is no other word that fits it."
"Are you my make-up artist, or have you changed your profession to become my advisor?"
Lydia laughed with amusement when she heard that then walked over to the wardrobe to choose the right clothes according to her make-up.
"I think this dress is perfect for you. Not too formal and not too casual."
Lydia pulled a white knee-length dress with a black ribbon belt in the middle of her waist.
"Lydia, this is too…"
"Trust me. I can't possibly make you feel humiliated. You are my favorite model, and I feel so happy to doll you up. Now, go change before your prince charming arrives."
"He's not my prince charming." Kaylee was still annoyed with Jacob and was eager to cancel this meeting.
But… she couldn't possibly be annoyed and vexatious while Jacob was clueless, could she?
Kaylee took a deep breath and finally decided to comply with her make-up artist's suggestion.
She also tried to get over her annoyance with Jacob and act normal. Unfortunately, it was hard to get over her irritation… coupled with her menstruation.
Hhhh… can't time go faster? She wanted her period to end so that her bad mood wouldn't act up.
"Wow, sushi. You still have time to buy sushi?"
"Ah, it's a gift from Osbert."
"From the freaky one?"
"Lydia, he's not a freak. Please be polite toward each other."
"You are too soft-hearted and too naive. No wonder Nick always complained..."
"What's this got to do with Nick?"
Lydia gulped in nervous while shutting her mouth tightly, making Kaylee squinted her eyes at her suspiciously.
"Anyway, you should fire that person. My instincts say he's not a good person."
Before Kaylee could respond to her make-up artist's words, the phone in her room was ringing.
"Hello?"
"Miss Roe, someone named Jacob is here to meet you."
"Yes. Please take him to the cafe on the second floor." Kaylee answered politely before hanging up on the call.
Kaylee exhaled and inhaled several times to ease her irritation with her friend. She is Roe right now, and Roe knew nothing about what happened between Jacob and Nick. She had to act normal so as not to make Jacob suspicious.
"Kaylee, how about the sushi?"
Kaylee stopped her steps when she heard the word sushi, then walked towards the table to open the lunch box given by Osbert. She took one of the sushi… then another before she closed the lit again and gave it to Lydia.
"You can eat it or share it with your sister. Thanks for coming here. Bye."
Lydia smiled amusedly while shaking her head. Didn't that girl say that she was annoyed with her date? Why now Kaylee looks impatient to meet that young man?
Who is that young man? Ah, it felt like she wanted to peek at what kind of person it was. But before that, she needed to tell someone first.
'Your most beloved sister is on a date inside her studio building.'
Lydia sent the message to someone, then smiled as she tried to imagine what that person's expression would look like when reading the news.
In a remote place where a group of youths was practicing in a music studio, the guitarist put down his guitar to get his drink bottle. He also checked his phone and realized someone sent him a message.
At first, he opened the message casually while sipping his drink. But the moment he read the word 'date,' his forehead frowned and removed the tip of the bottle from his mouth.
Kaylee is on a date tonight? With whom?
If you wonder why Nick immediately guessed Kaylee, now you know that Nick adored Kaylee more than Wendy.
"Yo, Nick."
The (real) Nicholas turned his head towards his friend who was calling him.
"I have an idea for the next part." then his friend played his electric guitar to show it to Nick, the leader of their band. "How is it?"
"That's great. Add vibrations to the last note and insert chord diminish seven on the third chord."
His friend complied and repeated the idea by adding additional elements to Nick's suggestion. Everyone who heard it smiled with satisfaction at the music that sounded better than before.
They were fortunate to have Nicholas Larson among them. That child was a genius in improvising and making a song more soulful that could thrill the listeners' minds.
Nick looked back at his phone while reading the message over and over again. There was no way anyone could approach Kaylee. Apart from himself, he was absolutely confident that the girl would not let the men approach her.
Is Lydia trying to make fun of him, or is the girl trying to get revenge for destroying her blind date two weeks ago?
Who is Kaylee's date? Is he the freaky one or some unknown random new guy?
Argh! Nick would not be able to calm down if a strange man approached Kaylee, and that person would take advantage of Kaylee's innocence and ravish her. Her innocent was beyond words, and no one could save her.
He had to tell Wendy about this.
After sending a message to his sister, Nick returned to continue his training while trying to eliminate negative thoughts towards Kaylee's date. The girl would be fine.
At the same time, Kaylee… Roe came out of the elevator with a big smile to act normally. She looked for Jacob, who was now sitting at the end of the cafe next to the glass window.
It seemed that the young man was daydreaming, and his gaze was looking at the city view from the second floor until he didn't notice her presence.
"Hi, Jack," said Kaylee, making Jacob turn to her.
Before this, Jacob had been worrying about his small quarrel with Nick. Somehow he felt uncomfortable and restless when he fought with the young man. His mind was filled with finding a way to apologize and make the young man forgive him so that his mind was not in his meeting with Roe.
He even planned to postpone it, but he did not know Roe's contact number, and he couldn't reach out to Nick. Jacob couldn't suddenly not appear without a reason to make Roe wait for him, could he? Hence, he decided to keep coming even though his heart was not entirely enthusiastic about meeting this beautiful and charming girl.
However, when his eyes turned and saw an angel-like face, his worries and anxieties vanished at once.
He knew that Roe was indeed attractive and that he had fallen in love with her, but he had no idea that this girl would be lovelier than before.
"M… Miss Rose, you look beautiful tonight. Am I bothering you? It looks like you have an important event."
"No. I'm free at the moment." a slight red hue appeared on Roe's cheeks.
See? Kaylee should have insisted on lessening her overly make-up. Now Jacob thinks she's going to attend an important event because of her doll-up appearance.
"Ah, I brought you something," Jacob handed Roe a small cute box.
"What is this?"
"Just open it."
Roe opened the cute little box and peeked at its contents. Inside there is a mini chocolate cake decorated with an adorable bunny doll as a topping. Her smile brightened when she saw the chocolate cake.
"This... how do you know I like chocolate cake?"
"I do not know. I'm just guessing. Ah, take it easy, that cake doesn't contain nuts."
"You even know that I'm allergic to peanuts? If I didn't know you, I would think you were my stalker."
Jacob scratched his neck with a bashful smile. "Actually, I overheard it from Miss Larson."
Roe smiled, amused at the young man's behavior. Only when he was with Roe did Jacob act like a shy child and speak very softly.
Ah, it's tough to be angry with this young man for a long time. Jacob is too sweet to be scolded. Moreover, he has brought her favorite chocolate cake. Which girl doesn't melt if someone gave her the sweetest bribe?
"By the way, Miss Roe. Do you know what Nick likes?"
"Nick? Why do you ask?"
"I accidentally upset him today. Usually, I don't care about my fights with my friends, but I don't want our relationship to be ruined because of my careless joke."
Roe smiled gently at him. Ah, this man also felt guilty for cracking a joke that scared her.
How could she not forgive this young man?
"Nick… he is actually a simple person. He would get angry if someone gave him a bad joke. But his anger will quickly die out as soon as he eats something sweet."
"Hm? Why is he like a girl?"
Kaylee smiled faintly at that. Well, the description she gave was not the character of Nicholas Larson, but herself.
Of course, Kaylee couldn't possibly tell about this, right?
