Chapter 316:
She stared at him for a moment.
He really was annoying.
Kailey studied him quietly for a moment. He didn’t stir at all. After a slow breath, she lifted her hand and pressed the horn.
The sharp blast snapped Benny awake. He jerked upright, blinking in confusion, then caught sight of the faint, almost playful curve to her lips. “Kailey p>
“What p>
He was clearly on the verge of blowing up. Meanwhile, she looked perfectly calm, as though none of his reactions mattered in the slightest.
Kailey pointed toward the window. “We’re here. Are you eating, or did you just come along for the ride p>
His jaw clenched. After a second, he yanked the door open and got out, irritation written all over his face.
That mood didn’t last. The moment they stepped inside, it was as if someone had flipped a switch. He darted around with restless energy, trailing after her and firing off questions nonstop. “Do you come here a lot? You’ve got good taste. What’s the best dish? Is it actually worth ordering p>

“Enough.” Kailey stopped and turned to him, clearly done. “If you’re going to keep talking like this, go stick with the waiter. They explain things better than I ever could p>
Benny grinned. “Then what are you going to do p>
“I’m heading back to work p>
“Work again? Who’s even left in the office right now?” he murmured.
She ignored him. A moment later, they stopped in front of a private room. The waiter opened the door and smiled politely. “This way p>
Benny walked in without hesitation — then stopped dead. “What are you doing here p>
Kailey had been expecting Quentin. Instead, the person standing inside was Kyson.
Her gaze flicked between the two of them, caught off guard. “You know each other p>
With both hands shoved into his pockets, Benny strolled over like he owned the place and dropped into the seat next to Kyson. A crooked smile tugged at his lips. “I’ve got plenty of friends p>
The sentence had barely left his mouth when the man beside him spoke. “Apologize p>
Benny stiffened. For a second, he thought he’d misheard. Then he realized the word was aimed straight at him. “Kyson, I p>
“Apologize.” Kyson didn’t raise his voice or even look at him. His fingers tapped lightly against the edge of the table, unhurried and steady, yet the command left no room for negotiation.
Kailey watched the exchange without interrupting. She had no idea what had triggered it.
Benny glanced at her, irritation flashing across his face. “Sorry,” he mumbled.
Kyson’s gaze remained lowered. “Say it properly p>
“I’m sorry.” Benny’s ears turned red. Embarrassment burned across his face, and he quickly turned away.
