Chapter 179 - Ch. 179 Wendy's New Guy

Three days earlier…

Kaylee and Wendy were having lunch outside, and after finishing their meal, Wendy was holding her phone while smiling happily.

"Why are you smiling like that? What are you looking at?"

"This dating app is great. The process is swift, and I could find my ideal man."

Kaylee almost choked on her saliva when she heard that. "Unbelievable. You just found someone new overnight? How about the old one?"

"Don't remind me. I don't know how, but Robert came over the night we had a date. Do you know what your cousin said to my date?"

Kaylee shook her head.

"He called me wifey! He must have gone mad."

Kaylee sipped her soda without saying anything. She felt as if the words 'the perpetrator' written above her head.

Yup. Kaylee is the culprit. She was the one who told Robert when and where Wendy would meet her new date.

'I'm sorry, Wendy.'

If it weren't for Declan, she wouldn't have betrayed Wendy like this.

She just found out that the requirement for her music team to join the music camp program was Declan's idea. From the start, they didn't need to enter this winter music camp because they had won their duel fairly.

And the person who prepared a separate cottage her which was located very far from the campsite was also Declan. Aubrey turned out to be Kris's twin and has never met Robert.

All this time, Kaylee thought Aubrey was a special assistant sent by Robert, but instead, it turned out that Declan sent the girl to look after her.

Kaylee never knew that Declan's relationship with her cousin was close enough that Robert would do whatever Declan said.

Now the rice had turned to mush, and Kaylee had promised Robert to help her make up with Wendy. She had no choice but to ask Wendy about her date and become a temporary spy for her cousin.

"Take a look at this person's profile." Wendy showed Kaylee a photo of a man in his late 20s.

The man does look handsome and young, but isn't his cousin much more attractive than that man?

Well… her cousin was indeed old, but his face still looked youthful even though he was almost in his forties.

"He's cute. But, Wendy…"

"I'll try to talk to him."

Kaylee sighed in defeat at the enthusiastic and excited tone of her best friend.

"My stomach suddenly hurts. I'll be back."

Kaylee nodded her head as she took another sip of her soda. That's when she saw Wendy's phone on the table, and the screen lit up as if a message had arrived.

Should she once again help her cousin?

Kaylee immediately took Wendy's phone, frowning when she saw a pattern screen lock. There is a fingerprint to open it, but of course, Kaylee's fingers won't be able to open it.

Kaylee tried to trace the dots on the pattern on the lock screen and formed the letter R. Miraculously, the screen is unlocked!

"I know you still love my cousin. Why deny your own feelings?"

Kaylee checked Wendy's new date's reply and deleted the chat. She remembered that Wendy had blocked her cousin's contact, so she unblocked her cousin and instead blocked the new guy's contact.

She changed her cousin's name to the new guy's name, while the name of the new guy changed to her cousin's name. After that, she gave a message to her cousin with the same sentence as when Wendy greeted the new guy.

Then she put Wendy's phone back in its place and texted her cousin. She briefly told the man what she had done and told Robert to act as the new guy.

After that, she closed the message with the sentence, 'This is the last time I help you.'

Not long after, Wendy came back and sat across Kaylee without any suspicion. She glanced at her phone to check whether the new guy had replied to her message or not.

"Looks like he's not interested in my profile."

"Why do you think like that?" Kaylee asked in an innocent tone as if she hadn't done anything before.

"He didn't reply to my messages at all. Usually, the men would shortly return my letters before this."

"They immediately replied to your messages because you are Wendy Larson. Everyone knows who you are, and you still want to date them? Even if they are only interested in your career."

"I don't care. I'll break them up after I get bored anyway. Oh! He sent a reply."

Kaylee swallowed nervously. Did her cousin ever read her message? What if it turns out that Robert read Wendy's message first than hers?

"Hmm? Very weird."

Gulp! "What?"

Wendy showed Kaylee her phone screen so that Kaylee could read her cousin's reply.

'Hi,'

Hi? That's it? Doesn't her cousin have anything else to talk about?

"He replied to your text. What's so weird about that?"

"That is precisely why it is so strange. Usually, other men will directly ask all kinds of things until he invites me to meet. But this person…." Wendy looked back at the profile photo in the online dating application. "He gave the impression of being disinterested in me but still replied to me. He is very mysterious. I like this guy."

Kaylee was silent and decided not to talk anymore as she took another sip of her drink. She investigated Wendy's expression with a curious look and wanted to know what Wendy had written to reply to her cousin.

"Oh, he replied to me again. But the answer is concise. So is he interested in me or not?" Wendy put her phone on her desk, making Kaylee think Wendy was no longer interested in meeting the new guy.

"How about you ask him to meet this time?" Kaylee suggested flatly. "Nick will be performing in Brooklyn with my friends, and I plan to support him with Declan. How about you take him with us?"

Wendy seemed to be silent, thinking about her suggestion, before making her decision. "That's not a bad idea. But I doubt he'll agree to it."

"There's no harm in trying it."

Wendy followed Kaylee's advice and invited the new guy to see a music performance in Brooklyn.

Not long after, she got an answer from the new guy. "Oh, he said ok."

Kaylee hid her satisfied smile by covering her mouth with the back of her hand.

(Present time)

"That was the most unexpected thing I've ever heard of." Robert walked up to them, making Declan wince in confusion while Wendy gasped in shock.

"Mr. Harvey?"

"Robert?"
