Chapter 14 Thiago casually brushed the hair off his forehead , his sharp , mischievous eyes gleaming as he said , " I'm into you . What , is that a problem ? " Kevin , well aware Thiago had a mouth that often ran off - leash , let out a chuckle and didn't take it seriously . Instead , he switched gears . " My Monica is still hung up on you . " Thiago didn't flinch . " Let her be . Just don't let her get too attached . " Kevin gave a resigned laugh , teasing him like an old friend . " Come on , tell your professor - what kind of girl do you actually like ? " Thiago shrugged . " The clueless kind . " " Seriously ? " Kevin blinked . Later that evening , a sleek black Rolls - Royce was parked at the curb outside of Jorendale University's main gate . As soon as Thiago stepped out of the campus , a sharply dressed man in a full suit jumped out of the driver's seat . " Mr. Langston . " Thiago glanced him up and down . " What are you sweating out here in a full suit for ? Trying out for the mob or something ? " Hans Dalton was momentarily stunned by the jab but quickly straightened up and replied seriously , " You know how your father is . It's the house rules . " Thiago leaned casually against the car . " So , what does he want this time ? Another matchmaking setup ? " Hans sighed . " Your dad wouldn't dare try that again after last time . He said he just … misses you . " Thiago's father , Lawrence , was well into his 60s now . Ever since Thiago turned 20 , Lawrence had been dead - set on becoming a grandfather . He had lined up introductions with every heiress from a " respectable family " - as many as he could find . There weren't many of these setups , mostly because Thiago made sure each one he did go on was a complete disaster . Once , he told the woman he was gay . Twice , he made the women cry . Another time , he straight - up pretended to be possessed by a ghost and scared the poor woman into bolting from the restaurant . After that , no one dared bring up blind dates around him again . Thiago chuckled to himself as he slid into the back seat of the Rolls - Royce . " Who's home tonight ? " " Mrs. Parker and Mr. Parker are still in Escana on business . Ms. Langston should be back . Mr. Langston Senior and Mrs. Langston are both home . " Thiago usually lived alone in a penthouse suite at Capital Crown Plaza and rarely set foot in the Langston residence . The ones who did live there full - time were Lawrence , his wife , Brenda , and their daughter , Cecilia , with her husband , Hamish . Thiago made a face and let out a lazy curse . " So , even that sister of mine is home ? " Hans drove as he chuckled lightly . " Mr. Langston , if Ms. Langston hears you referring to her by that , she'll knock your teeth in . " " She nearly drowned me in a pool when we were kids . I'm praying she takes a swing so that I finally have an excuse to hit her back . " As they chatted , the car glided through traffic until it hit a red light and came to a stop . Thiago glanced out the window and froze . There , sitting alone on a bench at the bus stop , was Luciana . Her head was down as she quietly nibbled on a sandwich . Her eyes looked glassy like she had been holding back tears for a while now . At this hour , she should be at The Fable Fox working her shift . What was she doing here ? Thiago's jaw clenched , his lips drawing into a straight line . A second later , he flung the car door open without a word and jumped out . Behind the wheel , Hans blinked in confusion . Discover our latest featured short drama reel.
