When Evelyn noticed Jason standing

At this point, he wasn’t dumb enough to think she was playing hard to get. A while ago, he might’ve assumed she was changing tactics, trying to win over Lucas‘ felme
That not anymore. Evelyn genuinely had zero interest in getting on his good side. The realization made Jason frown. He couldn’t quite put a name to the feeling it stized in him. “Jason!” rimma man still caught up in everything Evelyn had been explaining. Even as she turned to Jason, she was practically buzzing with excitement. “What are you doing here so early ?– Jaglanced at Evelyn before answering, “Don’t you know you have asthma? Did you bring your inhaled?”
Fiona shrank back a little as she groaned. “Man, you’re so annoying.

She gave Fiona a small smile before wa

Flona sighed, watching Evelyn leave like the didn’t want the moment to end. Then, she noticed something strange–Jason was staring as well.
“Walt Fiona blinked, turning to Jason. She asked, “Are you into Evelyn?”
Jason’s expression darkened. He flicked her forehead, and instead of answering her question, he switched the topic, saying, “You’ve been clinging to her all day. You sure you’re not being a
Flora pouted. “No way! She likes me, okay? Voy don’t even know her! She just seems distant, but she’s actually super nice! And…
She hesitated before adding, “She’s really smart Jaxon, do you know what she does for work? ts she an engineer?”

“Thones?” His mind flashed back to the test flights. Tack then, Evelyn had suddenly entered the industry because of Tiffany. Then, out of nowhere, she joined Flying Seal Group–the

Jason shrugged. “Her boss runs à di un company. She probably picked up some basics just from being around it.”
It was just a puris, but it was probably not too far off.
She was Sebastian’s assistant, after all. That alone meant she’d have to at le

Fiona hummed, deep in thought. She didn’t believe Evelyn had just “picked up the basics“. Evelyn knew her stuff
Back in her room, Evelyn worked for a while longer. She outlined kay us that needed discussing and planned to go over them with Sebastian at the office tomorrow

Sebastian colled “the burned herself out, charging ahead like a lunatic. Zero stamina, but all the enthusiasm,”
Then, he turned to Evelyn. “There’s a campsite here. We can grill, stargaze, and watch the sense. Are you coming?”
Evelyn suddenly remembered her plans with Fions. She hesitated. “Holdon, let me check something”
Sebastian red an eyebrow, asking “You’ve got plans?”

Evelyn maked and looked back at Sebastian. “Yeah. Let’s ga”
Sebastian didn’t question it. He just gathered the team and led them toward the site.
The rest had shuttle buses, and when they arrived, Evelyn followed the path to the designated area. But when they got there, she quickly realized it wasn’t just ona and Jason waiting. There was a whole other group.
And in the middle of it all ut Lucas, and Tillany
Tiffany was saying something while leaning in slightly, and Lucas–who was usually so cold and distant–was actually listening. His sharp, undable features softened, his patience unmistakable
