His Eagle Eyes on Me

Without hesitation, Caspian said, "I've seen people like that before! If I had a cousin that pretty, I would obey her every word, too!" Lucas was instantly rendered speechless.

"Should I book the restaurant for lunch now? Ms. Feake specifically asked to dine with you, so you ought to oblige."

"You need to come along," Lucas said.

"Hahaha! Look how scared you are. It's almost as though you are worried that Ms. Feake will swallow you whole."

"Don't you think she's weird? She acts just like Ivy did when she first came here."

Caspian shook his head. "It's not the same. Ivy didn't call before coming here; but Ms. Feake did, and we agreed for her to come."

Lucas realized that there was no point in arguing with Caspian and waved him off. "Go ahead and book the restaurant." After a pause, he continued, "You said Ivy and Ms. Feake are getting along, right? Bring Ivy along as well."

"All right! I will let her know."

Caspian emerged from Lucas' office and ran into Ivy, who returned from seeing Missy off, head-on.

"Ivy, Lucas wants you to join him and Ms. Feake for lunch!" Caspian spoke with a smile. "It's Lucas' personal request. He's definitely impressed by your performance today."ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

Ivy's face lit up with a bright smile. "Sure! Should I go ahead and make a reservation at a restaurant?"

"That's a great idea! Do you know how to make a reservation?"

"Of course, I do," she said confidently.

"Before you order, check if Ms. Feake has any dietary restrictions," Caspian added.

Ivy assured him, "I know. Don't worry! I'll make sure to handle this."

Caspian nodded. "Booking a restaurant usually requires a deposit. I'll transfer some money to you."

Ivy waved him off. "It's fine. I'll cover it for now. I'll just keep the receipt and get reimbursed later."

Caspian chuckled. "I must say, Ivy, you realn

Ivy looked embarrassed. "He said that?"

"Yes, he did just a moment ago. He even mentioned that your cousin is actually your bodyguard!"

Ivy wondered if Lucas had somehow discovered her true identity.

Caspian was quick to reassure her. "Ivy, what are you thinking about? Was he right?"

"Was it just a guess?"

"Yeah! He mentioned that your cousin seems to follow your every command, which isn't normal," he said.

Ivy breathed a sigh of relief. "I thought he had dug up all my secrets!"

Caspian's smile stiffened. "Secrets?"

"It's nothing... I just thought he might have checked my background," she explained.

"He did look into it because you

though. You're quite mysterious!"

"I'm not mysterious! My past life was simple and consisted of nothing but studying. That's why he won't find much about me online."

"Right now, I just want to know one thing. Can you answer me honestly?" he asked.

"Go ahead and ask. I'm not sure I can answer, though," she said cautiously.

"Is your family really wealthy?"

Ivy hesitated for a moment, then replied, "That depends on how you define 'wealthy'. I believe that wealth doesn't compare to having an

Caspian chuckled. "I get it now. I suppose your family really is well-off."
