When I took a quick glance at Cole, I saw his eyes narrowing into slits, his gaze blazing with barely suppressed fury.
He was radiating irritation, just like he always did whenever girls started flocking around him.
The mocking laughter of Lily's group echoed in my ears, but before Cole could react, I grabbed his arm tightly, squeezing to hold him back.
If this kept up, he was bound to reveal his identity.
"What's the matter?" Lily asked, her voice dripping with fake concern. "Is this your new boyfriend, Eve?"
I forced a smile, trying to keep my composure. "No, he's my bodyguard."
"Bodyguard?" Lily's brow raised in surprise, and she exchanged a look with her friends.
"A mere bodyguard using that tone with us?" sneered one of the girls.
"You should teach your servant some manners," one of them scoffed.
I felt Cole tense up beside me, his hand clenching into a fist. I squeezed his arm again, giving him a warning look.
"Come to think of it, Sophie, you should definitely bring Cole with you this Saturday," Lily said, her voice dripping with sweetness.
The other girls shifted in excitement, their eyes practically sparkling at the mere mention of Cole Fay. The air around them thickened with anticipation.
"That's right, Sophie. He's a graduating college student, right? I'm sure he could help us all with our studies," one of them added, a playful glint in her eyes.
I frowned, instantly suspicious. "Huh? Why do I get a bad feeling about this?"
Cole's smirk was almost too smug. "We only have one umbrella, remember?"
I raised an eyebrow, holding up the extra umbrella I had snatched from my bag. "Actually, we have two."
He looked at me with that devilish grin of his. "Then do you want to share this one while this Daniel have the other?"
I paused, sighing heavily. The last thing I wanted was to be huddled under an umbrella with him again, so close that I could still smell his cologne.
"No thanks. You take one, and give this one to Daniel. I'll wait in the car."
"Good," Cole smiled a little. But then he gave me a pointed look. "I'll go give Daniel his things. You wait in the car."
I narrowed my eyes. "Hold on. Don't do anything to him, okay?"
Cole raised an eyebrow, feigning innocence. "What do you think I'd do to him?"
I hesitated, feeling oddly defensive. "I don't know, maybe threaten him or scare him off."
"And why would I do that?" he asked, tilting his head, clearly amused.
"Because you think we're dating," I shot back, exasperated.
Cole's smile was almost too relaxed. "So, you're not dating him then?"
I blinked, realizing I'd walked right into his trap. "No, we're not. He's just a friend, and I have very few of those right now. So don't scare him away."
Cole's expression remained unreadable, but something in his eyes softened. "Alright, I won't. Go wait in the car."
There were still a million things I wanted to say, but I couldn't find the right words. Frustrated, I spun on my heel and headed outside.
Why did it feel like I was being led on?
That guy really have ways with words to get the information he wanted.
