Sophie Kenwick nodded eagerly, unable to hide her excitement anymore. "Yes, that's right, I like you a lot. I heard that you are holding a concert soon, isn't that so? I'll be there." "Sure, if you need tickets to the concert, you can get them from Xyla," Josh Batton replied.
"I'll be getting the tickets soon, and I won't need her help," she said.
"Okay. Aren't you going to invitein?" he asked.
As Josh spoke, his orange-scented cologne, accompanied by the cold wind, wafted through the air toward her once again.
It made her feel at ease.
She instantly stepped aside and made an inviting gesture toward Josh.

Sophie nodded, leading him to the couch before they both sat down.
For sreason, she felt nervous in front of her idol and didn't know what to say.
After a few seconds of silence, Sophie struck up a conversation. "What cologne are you using? It smells amazing." "Le Jardin de Monsieur Li," Josh answered.
"It suits you very well," she said.
"Thank you." After that, Josh initiated a new topic. "You must be in university at your age, right?" "I'm not studying anymore. I'm working for Xyla as her bodyguard." "Why aren't you studying?" he asked.
"Because I've learned everything there is to know, so there's no reason forto keep studying," Sophie said.
Josh didn't ask any further, merely nodding politely. "I see, so you're quite smart then." "I'm not as good as you at singing or dancing, but I'm not too bad. You also look much better than I do," she said. "Thank you." "Aren't you married? Why didn't you bring your wife?" Sophie wondered.
"She didn't feel like coming out as it was cold, and that's why I calone," Josh explained.
"Your wife sure is lucky to be able to look at a handsguy like you every day," she teased.
Josh spontaneously laughed when he heard this.
Right then, Xyla walked out of the kitchen with four glasses of orange juice after she had finished preparing some.
As soon as Josh saw this, he quickly approached her to help with the glasses.
Xyla chuckled. "Thank you. How has Annabeth been lately?" Josh nodded with a tender look in his eyes. "She's doing great. Just a little weary of the cold, and she doesn't like being outdoors." "That's one of the symptoms of being pregnant. You should pay more attention to her. It's tough being pregnant," Xyla said.

What about you? How have you been? haven't been to the office for a long time, and I haven't seen you either." "I'm doing all right," Xyla replied.
While the two of them chatted, Sophie couldn't resist taking a picture of Josh discreetly.
Her hands trembled a little when she e took the picture, resulting in a blurry photo of his figure from behind. When Josh heard the sound of the
camera, he immediately turned around to look at Sophie. "If "If ygum wanted a picture you don't have to take one in secret, you know? I can take a picture with you later." Sophie scratched her head in embarrassment. "Okay, thank you." "Don't mention it."
After that, he carried the glasses over to the couch, placing one in front of Sophie. Then he put the other in front of the empty seat next to him before taking one glass for himself. Meanwhile, Xyla silently sat next to Josh, drinking her orange juice while chatting with him about work.
