They were only about an inch apart. That was already a very close distance.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Max handed the drink he just poured to Ayla.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ayla lifted her hand, ready to push it away.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Max suddenly paused. He studied her and frowned. \u201cHow much did\u00a0<\/p>\n
you\u00a0<\/p>\n
drink?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Ayla blinked. \u201cNot a lot.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Max scrunched his nose in irritation. \u201cYou reeked of alcohol.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ayla clamped her mouth.\u00a0<\/p>\n
James smacked Max on the forehead. \u201cCan you not ruin the mood?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Max wasn\u2019t ready for it and almost fell right onto Ayla. He could\u2019ve caught himself.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But that tiny surprise \u201cthrew\u201d him off.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ayla moved fast. She caught Max\u2019s head with her hand, steadying him as she stood up. \u201cJames, that\u2019s enough. Who messes with their own cousin like that?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
James clicked his tongue. \u201cOh? Feeling protective now? Max is trouble down to his bones. He\u2019s tricked me so many times, I\u2019m just collecting interest.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ayla let go once Max sat straight again.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Most of the touch had been on his hair, but as her hand slipped away, her fingers brushed a bit of skin.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ayla didn\u2019t notice.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Max\u2019s heart jumped hard in his chest.\u00a0<\/p>\n
For a second, he thought being Ayla\u2019s male escort didn\u2019t sound too bad.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Max followed along with her tone. \u201cDon\u2019t listen to James. He\u2019s the one who bullies me all the time.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
James shot back, \u201cOh, stop it. Max, you\u2019ve been a two-face since you were a kid!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Max laughed in disbelief. \u201cYou really have the nerve to call me that?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
James turned to Ayla. \u201cHey, Ayla. You need to be the judge!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Max was still replaying that small accidental touch but didn\u2019t show anything on his face. \u201cYeah, Ayla, you be the judge.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ayla said, \u201cYou two figure it out yourselves.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

And she walked out of the room.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Casey jumped up right away to follow her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Max was speechless.\u00a0<\/p>\n
If he wasn\u2019t imagining it, Casey had deliberately leaned against Ayla earlier.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Max had kept a full inch between them.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Darn it!\u00a0<\/p>\n

James noticed the storm in Max\u2019s eyes and shivered in disgust. \u201cSeriously? You\u2019re actually mad at me? You can\u2019t even take a joke now. You were way more fun as a kid!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Max snapped, \u201cYou don\u2019t know anything.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
James shrugged. \u201cWhat\u2019s so bad about being a male escort anyway? Life\u2019s all about trying new things. Makes it interesting.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Max ignored him. His mind was somewhere else.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He wondered if he should follow Ayla outside.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But if he chased after her, what would he even say?\u00a0<\/p>\n
If he wanted something to happen between them, he needed a way to stay in her life.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He could help her with something, so she\u2019d owe him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Or better, let Ayla help him first, then he\u2019d return the favor.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Yeah, the second option sounded much better.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Max was still lost in his thoughts when he suddenly stood up. He glanced at James-his new tool-and offered a smile that didn\u2019t reach his eyes.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Without a word, he walked out.\u00a0<\/p>\n
James rolled his eyes at him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Then he pulled out his phone and changed Max\u2019s contact name to \u201cMax the Escort.\u201d He checked their group chat. No messages.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Wait! Max had made such a scene. Draven didn\u2019t notice any of it?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Max returned to the private lounge he came from and found only Skyla and Rolf inside. \u201cWhere\u2019s Troy?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
he asked.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Skyla replied, \u201cHe went to the restroom.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Max went to look for him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ayla stepped out of the restroom after washing her hands.\u00a0<\/p>\n

As soon as she came back, Casey naturally handed her a napkin and gently dried her hands for her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ayla asked, \u201cHow long have you been doing this job?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cTwo weeks,\u201d Casey said. \u201cPart-time for now.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat\u2019s your day job?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m about to graduate from college.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ayla raised a brow. \u201cCan\u2019t afford school?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s not that. I\u2019m studying acting,\u201d Casey said. \u201cI just don\u2019t have the resources to land roles. I work on film crews during the day, and at night I come here. I meet all kinds of people; it helps me build experience for acting.\u201d Then he quickly added, \u201cAnd I don\u2019t sell my body. I just give the ladies a little emotional support.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ayla paused. \u201cAren\u2019t you afraid this becomes a scandal later if you become famous?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Casey shrugged. \u201cIf I get insanely popular, this small scandal won\u2019t matter. The agency won\u2019t even blink. And if I don\u2019t get famous, well, a scandal is still publicity.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He looked at her with a grin. \u201cSo, did I give you enough emotional support?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ayla had come to relax.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Casey matched her mood perfectly. He was smoother than she expected.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She used to treat Troy the same way-gentle, thoughtful, trying to make him feel good. And yet he always pulls a long face at her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Was it because he took her for granted?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Maybe she had tried too hard to earn his love. Maybe she gave too much.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Casey noticed her spacing out. \u201cAyla?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Before she could answer, a strong force suddenly shoved Casey aside.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He stumbled several steps before regaining balance-luckily he reacted fast.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Then he saw a tall man blocking Ayla\u2019s front like a storm cloud. Troy. His face was dark and terrifying as he demanded, \u201cWho is he?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ayla stared at Troy\u2019s stormy expression. All she could think about was the after their divorce was finalized; she ran into him again.\u00a0<\/p>\n
