The Billionaire's Authentic Daughter ▶️

"I won't."

"I'll retrieve the videos whenever I want. Until then keep it safe."

He nodded.

Just then we heard the restaurant's back door of the huge kitchen open and Colin stepped out with two huge black trash bags which he dumped into the a bin.

He looked up and caught sight of us. "Hey, Julia!" He jogged over to us. "And Kaan," he greeted. "What are you guys doing here?"

"Just bumped into each other." I said abruptly. I didn't want Colin to tell anyone that we met up with each other because it might reach Maira's ears.

"Okay, then what are two individually doing here?" He asked, much to my annoyance.

"I wanted to see you," I told him. "And he–" I looked at Kaan, quickly coming up with a reason, "–was here for some food."

"That's great, Kaan. This is a great restaurant. I'll get you a table, come on." He said, grabbing his arm and pulling him up.

Kaan looked at me in, exasperated. "I don't want to eat alone!"

"Then do you want take out?" Colin asked, having heard him.

"Sure," he said begrudgingly.

Ten minutes later, Colin handed him his order and I didn't understand what Kaan was irritated about. I lied that he was here for food which wasn't bad at all because it's food, who would be not be happy to get some food!

After he left, Colin led me inside and sat me down at the same table that I had sat at the first time.

"So tell me what you wanted to talk about," he asked, sliding me a muffin after I refused to order anything.

It wasn't a total lie when I told him that I wanted to talk. I just wasn't sure if I wanted to but then figured it might benefit for Julia's sake.

"I want you to tutor me in Chemistry," I said.

"Aren't you already good at it? I heard you were better than Boonsri in that last test," he said while tearing into his own muffin eagerly.

"Yes, but like by one point. And I heard that you're really good at it, far better than Boonsri but that doesn't matter because she's good in other subjects as well so everyone's like 'oh, she's the smartest in this school'".

Colin smiled amusingly. "Do you want me to tutor you for your benefit or because you want to beat Boonsri."

"The former, of course but the latter one is just a cherry on the top."

"Okay, we can do Thursdays and Fridays. I have those days off from the restaurant. Is that okay with you?"

"Perfect. Two days a week is enough. Timing?"

"How about four?"

"Works for me. We'll start this week."

He nodded and we continued eating our muffins in silence.

"Did you and Aurelio get home fine last night?"

"Yeah, we did. He sobered up after some sleep and then we left."

"I heard him talk about some girl in the party. That she was with a guy who fell into the pool. Was that girl Frida?" I asked, already knowing the answer.

Colin looked nervous. "No, it wasn't her. He was talking about someone else. I can't tell anyone."

Yes, it was Frida. I smirked. "Alright."

After returning from Colin's restaurant, I headed straight to Eli's place. As promised, I met up them to kick start their self-defense lessons. I was going to try and teach them everything I knew.

Before I could actually get them through any moves, I realized that they first had to build their muscle strength. I had them do five sets each of pushups, situps, lunges and squats. By the end of those exercises alone their legs began shaking and they started doing it wrong, much to my disappointment but I knew it was important to not  overexert them.

I decided it was best if they had light training for a couple of weeks. After that we all sat down and I tutored them.
