Chapter 109
[Mr. Dorsey, can we do this later?] Brielle sent the message just as she stepped
into the restaurant.
Kenzo was sitting in a corner, his pale fingertips resting lightly on the glass
tabletop, almost dazzling in their whiteness.
Brielle had always known that Kenzo was a man of great poise. Back at
Beaconsfield College, there was a daily queue of admirers eager to confess their
feelings to him, but Kenzo always gently turned them down.
He was different from Max. Max seemed unapproachable, so distant that
closeness felt like a luxury.
Kenzo, on the other hand, felt close, so close you thought you could reach out
and touch him. Yet, he was like warm water flowing through your fingers, moving
on without pause, leaving only the memory of heat on your skin.
“Sorry for the sudden invite, Kenzo. Did I mess up your plans?” she asked as she
approached.
Kenzo looked up, smiling warmly, “Being invited by you is an honor.”
He stood up to pull out a chair for her, then gentlemanly handed her the menu.
“Choose whatever you like.”
Brielle pushed the menu back to him, “Kenzo, you order. I'm not picky.”
Kenzo didn’t insist. He ordered unagi eel glazed in a rich sauce and a foie gras
sushi roll.
“Kenzo, are you planning to write another script this year?”
As the most talented playwright around, Kenzo's previous scripts had launched
many a star's career. Some were catapulted straight to A-list status, thanks in no
small part to Kenzo's writing. His standing in the
entertainment world was no less than Max's in the business sector.
“I'm still pondering. I want to craft a mystery this time, so I went abroad for
inspiration.”
After ordering, he leaned back, hands clasped in front of him, the picture of ease.
“You probably don't have time for TV, right? You've been busy since school
days.”
Brielle ordered a steak for herself, “I've seen your drama series from last year. It
was a hit.”
“Brielle, you haven't changed a bit.”
They had crossed paths at Beaconsfield College when Brielle was graduating
and Kenzo had returned to teach for a month.
Brielle spent long hours in the library, often nearly getting locked in. It was during
one of those late nights that Kenzo appeared, umbrella in hand, walking through
the gentle rain.
“Mr. Kenzo,” she had greeted him, as Kenzo looked up, key to the library in hand.
It was past eleven, way beyond closing time, but with the downpour, she had no
choice but to wait for the rain to ease.
Kenzo unlocked the library door, “Come in and take shelter from the rain. I need
to do some research, might be here all night.”
That suited Brielle just fine.
She graduated with honors, her thesis showcased on the university website.
Kenzo knew her as diligent, earnest, and clear-headed. And she was much the
same now.
Brielle ordered a juice, “I have changed, actually. It’s you who's the
same.”
Kenzo chuckled, “Any other plans today? Want to visit the set after we're done
here?”
Curiosity about the filmmaking process tempted her to accept, but then she
remembered the text from Max. Right on cue, her phone pinged with a new
message. She ignored it, feeling it impolite to check her phone at that moment.
“I'd like to, but Mr. Dorsey unexpectedly asked me to prepare some documents. I
have to go back and work overtime.”
“On a weekend? Max is really squeezing his employees, huh?”
As he spoke, her phone rang again.
“Sorry, I've got to take this call.”

After a brief silence, Lillian replied.
[The Barnes family son, Kenzo?]
[That's him. But what's he doing with Brielle?]
Sophia bit her lip, recalling the man she'd seen hiding in Brielle’s bedroom. Could
it be him?
