Louis shook his head , thinking . I only agreed to bring Kala in because she's the city's top scorer on the SAT I thought I let her see the world a bit . But she's still so clueless . Even if she's pretty and at top scorer , she's not even good for me Louis and Andrea kept their eyes on Kaia , just waiting for her to embarrass herself . But Kaia just walked right in without any trouble . The waiters and the security guards didn't even try to stop her . Not only did they not stop her , but they even gave her a respectful bow . What the hell is going on ? ' Louis muttered , confusion written all over his face . Louis and Andrea exchanged a look , both of them completely battled . Let's go in . " Louis said , his voice tight with frustration . But when they finally made it inside , Kaia was nowhere to be seen . ' Did she latch onto someone important or something ? " Andrea asked , suspicion clear in her voice . Louis's face darkened . " She's got no shame . Probably traded her dignity just to get a meal here . Whatever , forget about her . She's a buzzkill . Let's just find someone and ask which private room Dr. Bennett and her team are in . " Okay , " Andrea said , clenching her fists . That was the real reason they were there . Just as Andrea finished speaking , her eyes were immediately drawn to two total heartthrobs walking in from the entrance . One had that icy , untouchable vibe , while the other oozed a rebellious , bad - boy charm - both of them had off - the - charts good looks . But it was the cold one who stood out : sharp jawline , brows like distant mountains , ridiculously handsome , and an aura that made him seem like he didn't belong in this world . ' God , he's so handsome ! Andrea thought , barely stopping herself from saying it out loud . Louis caught Andrea staring and followed her gaze . When he saw the two guys , his brows knitted in irritation . " Andrea , what are you looking at ? " Louis asked , a hint of impatience in his voice . Andrea snapped out of it and quickly replied , " Louis , don't you think those two look kind of familiar ? " 1/4 12:04 am Chapter 50 55 vouchers Louis turned for a closer look . The guy in the black suit didn't ring any bells . " You know , you might be onto something . That guy in the blue suit does look familiar . Where have I seen him before ... " ' Wait , he really does look familiar ? ' Andrea thought , a little stunned . Then a thought popped into her head . " Could he be some big shot from the upper circles ? " Louis racked his brain but still couldn't figure out who the guy was . " They're already gone . Let's go ask around and see which private room Dr. Bennett and her team are in . " " Alright , " Andrea replied sweetly . Russell , dressed in a sharp blue suit , finally tore his eyes away from Louis and Andrea . " Tobias , isn't that Kaia's ex - fiancé ? " Russell asked , his curiosity piqued . Tobias gave a nonchalant nod . " Yeah , that's him . " ' Don't you have anything you want to say to him ? Like , maybe thank him for being so blind and etting you scoop up such a catch ? " Russell said , grinning like he was about to hear some juicy gossip . They were never really involved . Kaia never even cared about him . Why would I waste my time on someone who doesn't matter ? " Tobias replied , his tone completely indifferent . ' Fair enough , " Russell said , nodding in agreement . " By the way , today's the anniversary of Dr. Bennett's research institute . What a coincidence . They're having dinner here at Splendor Hotel onight . " Tobias stopped in his tracks . " How do you know that ? " I teamed up with Dr. Bennett for an all - night gaming session yesterday . She told me herself , " Russell said , looking smug . You've been gaming with her a lot these days ? " Tobias asked , raising an eyebrow . Yep ! What , are you envious or jealous ? " Russell shot back with a grin . Tobias looked at Russell with a serious expression . " If you want to slack off , that's your business , but Dr. Bennett is a rare treasure in Wustriland . Making her play games with you every day is just distracting her from her research . Aren't you worried someone higher up might call you in for a talk ? " Russell's eyes widened in shock . " No way ... seriously ? " Tobias just shot him a look and stayed silent . The more Russell thought about it , the more freaked out he got . Finally , he raised his voice , trying to sound braver than he felt . 2/4 Chapter 50 55 vouchers " Dr. Bennett's an adult . She can make her own choices ! If she wants to play games , how could I stop her ? Besides , even if she's the embodiment of knowledge , she's got two eyes and one mouth like everyone else ! People need to relax , right ? I'm just helping her unwind a little . Tobias , why are you walking so fast ? Wait for me ! " Andrea whipped her head around , but Tobias and Russell were already out of sight . " Why'd you stop all of a sudden ? " Louis asked , confused . " I think I just heard them mention Dr. Bennett , " Andrea said , sounding unsure . " You must've misheard . Come on , let's not worry about them . I just slipped the manager a fat tip , and he told me where Dr. Bennett's private room is , " Louis said , trying to sound casual . " Awesome ! Let's get over there quick ! " Andrea exclaimed , practically bouncing with excitement . Soon , they found themselves outside the private room . Louis stopped a waiter who was just coming out . " Hey , could you go in and let them know that Andrea Bennett from the science club of Morganburg University is here to see Professor Weaver ? " " Uh ..." The waiter looked torn . " Professor Weaver is a big fan of Andrea . At the new nanomaterial launch , he even came looking for her himself . Just go ahead and let him know . If anything goes wrong , we'll take responsibility ," Louis assured him . As he spoke , Louis slipped off his watch and handed it to the waiter . The waiter eyed the luxury watch in his hand , still looking a bit unsure . He glanced at Andrea . " You really know Professor Weaver ? " " Of course ! I swear I'm not lying ! " Andrea replied , sounding confident . The waiter studied Andrea's face - she didn't look like a liar . And with that expensive watch in his hand , he figured it was worth a try . So he headed into the private room . " Professor Weaver , there's a Miss Andrea Bennett outside who says she knows you . She wants to see you ." As soon as the words left his mouth , the lively chatter in the room died instantly . Every single pair of eyes snapped to Kaia and Stephen . Stephen looked downright miserable . " Dr. Bennett , please don't misunderstand . I have absolutely nothing to do with Andrea . I think she just got the wrong idea when I helped you out at the last press conference . " Kaia just waved it off . " I know , this has nothing to do with you ." 3/4 12:05 am Chapter 50 E55 vouchers She knew Andrea's personality all too well - always so full of herself , thinking she's better than everyone , always reaching for the stars . She glanced at the waiter . " Don't let her in . " " Yes , understood , " the waiter replied , not missing a beat . It was obvious there was some bad blood between Andrea and Dr. Bennett . Thinking about it , the waiter was cursing Andrea harshly in his head for nearly getting him screwed over . As soon as he stepped out , he shoved the watch back at Louis , pulling a long face . " People inside said you're not allowed in . " Andrea and Louis didn't read too much into what the waiter said . They just figured Dr. Bennett liked to keep things low - key and didn't want her identity to get out . " Andrea , let's go , " Louis said . " No , we can't just leave like this , " Andrea replied . " What do you mean ? " Louis asked , puzzled . " Let's just wait nearby . When they're done eating , we can try to catch a glimpse of the legendary Dr Bennett and see what she looks like , " Andrea said determinedly . Discover our latest featured short drama reel.
