Gordon said slowly. “That man is Kai Strauss, my mentor.”

Layla shuddered. Of course, she knew who the renowned Kai Strauss was.

After Kai had retired, the Morrisons had tried to get him to come out of retirement many times. However, they had always been rejected.

How could Caroline manage such a feat?

Gordon said, “He’s my mentor. Could I have mistaken him for someone else?”

Kai hadn’t even looked at Gordon just now. It was as if Kai was very disappointed in him.

Kai didn’t drop Caroline off at her apartment. Instead, he sent her to Kirk’s villa.

When she saw the building, Caroline turned to ask Kai something, but he’d already driven off.

Looking at the half–opened front door, she walked up hesitantly and pushed it open.

The smell of fresh cooking wafted in the air. The door to the kitchen was wide open. Through it, Caroline could see someone busying themselves inside.

Right then, Caroline’s nerves settled for some reason.

“You’re back.” Kirk walked out holding a pan. He had on a gray apron. His expression was neutral as he looked at Caroline. His eyes were firmly fixed on her.

“Yes,” Caroline said with difficulty.

“I’m almost done. We can eat in a bit. Just wait a second.”

After saying that, Kirk went back to continue cooking.
