Akira could not stop the growing curiosity in her mind concerning Hu Lei. She was sure that Ayumi had not been lying about their similarity. However, Kaito's explanation was also believable. Therefore, she could only wait until an opportunity arose to sate her curiosity.
"What about Ayumi? Is she one of your exes?" Akira asked.
Kaito sighed. Women were truly troublesome creatures. He had only managed to convince her about Hu Lei, and she had moved on to something else. However, this was good too. It would be worse if she did not care enough to be jealous.
"We are business associates. When I first started my business, Ayumi said that she wanted to join me. She was my assistant at first before she completed her university education. By then, she was already well-versed with operations, so I promoted to the vice-president." He explained.
"Is she in love with you?"
Kaito's face changed and showed a rare hint of awkwardness.
