Chapter 158
It was unclear what the two people outside the window were talking about. Aubree nodded before the two of them walked away together.
Kelvin thought to himsell Ch snap. Then, as if spelling it out for Bowen, he kept up his hunning commentary “Looks like that guy just asked Miss Miller out–and she said yes”
Ethan offered some evidence, “Looks like they’re going out to grab dinner. They’re walking in the opposite direction from Miss Moller’s home, and the nearest street that way is lined with restaurants”
Samson jumped to a conclusion and exclaimed, “Oh no. Miss Miller’s gone on a date with hit
Kelvin immediately turned to look at Bowen and blurted out, “Mr. Turner, Miss Miller’s gone on a date.”
Bowen’s face darkened as he frowned at Kelvin. “So what if it’s a data? it’s not like she’s going out with you. Why the hell are you so worked up?”
Kelvin sighed in frustration. “Excited? No–I’m worried sick for you, Mr. Turner, he wondered if you keep clinging to your pride like this, Miss Miller well slip right through your fingers.
Kevin’d been with Bowen since graduating college. While he wouldn’t claim to know Bowen inside out, he’d bet no one in the entire company understood his mind better than he did. So, he got promoted so fast
Kelvin thought, “Mr. Turner undoubtedly feels he’s watched Miss Miller grow into her current success, and just can’t overcome that mental block–he dare not consider her in any other way.
“Mr. Lane and the others might joke that Mr. Turner was raising a daughter, but honestly, at most, it was just like looking after a younger sister
Honestly, Kelvin couldn’t fathom why Bowen insisted that Aubree address him as an elder, just like Alvin did.
Bowen glanced out the window again–Aubree was already walking side by side with that man
The three of them waited with bated breath for Bowen’s next move
Bowen was torn. “Perhaps it’s best to just let it go. Bree is exceptional–it’s only natural she has suitors. This is the life she was meant to have, he wondered.
‘As long as I’m certain she’s doing well, that should be enough, Bowen told himself.
Bowen said curtly, “Drive”
Ethan gasped,
“Mr. Turner, aren’t we going to follow them? What if that guy’s up to no good and has ulterior motives toward Miss Miller?”
“Drive,” Bowen commanded, his tone sharper now. She was perfectly capable of handling herself–he told himself he had no right to interfere anymore.
Kelvin let out a silent sigh “Figures–Mr. Turneris overthinking things again, he thought. ‘But the more he keeps it bottled up, the bigger the explosion will be.’
Ethan couldn’t disobey Bowen’s order, so he started the car. But he had his own little plan.
Since Bowen hadn’t specified a destination, he figured it wouldn’t hurt to head in Aubree’s direction
The car pulled away, switly overtaking the two pedestrians ahead.
Kelvin watched the two figures flash by outside the window, a pang of regret in his eyes. He thought to himself, I really thought this would finally make Mr. Turner feel some urgency–maybe even realize his true feelings?
Bowen’s brow remained furrowed as he rolled over Ethan’s words. “What if that guy’s a wolf in sheep’s clothing?‘ he thought. He might look decent, but actually have ulterior motives”

Chapter 158
Bowen thought. ‘Bree is sharp, but even the smartest have their blind spots. What if that guy takes advantage of her?
I’m just worried about her. If that guy really meant no harm, I could just stay out of sight.
Bowen cleared his throat, trying to sound casual. “Wait–follow them”
Bowen thought to himself, After all, Bree is practically under my protection, I can’t just let anyone take advantage of Fer
Bowen stroked his chin, mentally claiming the moral high ground for himself.
Aubree followed the man into a restaurant
The man was Randall Galvin, a junior in computer science at a nearby prestigious university.
He was referred to her by someone at the company.
The moment Aubree heard the name, she knew exactly who it was.
Aubree thought in amazement, ‘The planeer of otome games in my previous life–I never imagined he’d actually take the initiative to sama out.
“I was planning to track him down myself–now he’s come to me. That saves me the trouble.”
