Frank rubbed his nose, playing along with the charade. “Mr. Graves, Mr. Miller just mentioned they're short on
seats. He's hoping Ms. Domont can ride with us.”
Lucien’s eyes crinkled, his long lashes fluttering with a hint of mischief. “Oh, | see. The buses just left. Guess
you'll have to hop in our car, Ms. Domont.”
Kaia forced a tight-lipped smile, and the second she slid into the car, her fingers found Lucien’s waist, giving it a
sharp pinch.
Frank turned back with a grin. “Mrs. Graves, Mr. Graves made it clear you don’t want your relationship out in the
open, so we'll stick to formalities. Hope you don’t mind.”
Kaia’s cheeks flushed, and she managed an awkward laugh. “No worries at all, Mr. Gallagher. That's perfectly
fine.”
She shot Lucien a glare that could've scorched the upholstery.
This guy spills everything!
Chris, ever considerate, raised the partition between the front and back seats.
The moment it clicked shut, Kaia grabbed Lucien’s cheek, her voice a fierce whisper only he could hear. “You're
such a pain!”

Lucien leaned in, stealing a quick kiss. “And you smell divine.”
Kaia, worried he'd get carried away, grabbed his hands.
“Stop it. There are people around.”
Lucien relented with a chuckle.
“Alright, alright. Get srest. It's a two-hour drive.”
Kaia reclined her seat, draping Lucien’s tailored suit jacket over herself like a blanket, and dozed off for the ride.
As they neared the campsite, Frank's gentle voice roused her.
Kaia rubbed her eyes, handed the rumpled jacket back to Lucien, and stretched with a lazy yawn.
Lucien glanced at the creased suit, one eyebrow arched.
When Kaia stepped out, she realized they were the last to arrive.
Vanessa waved frantically from the law firm's group.
Kaia jogged over.
“Kaia, are you okay? Riding with Mr. Graves must've been terrifying!” Vanessa exclaimed, her eyes wide with
sympathy. “BlMr. Miller for cheaping out on an extra van. They've got seven buses, and we're stuck with
seven measly shuttles.”

Kaia laughed it off. “It wasn’t bad. Mr. Gallagher was there too. He's really nice.”
The campsite tents were already pitched, and Kaia grabbed her tag to find hers.
Frank's tent was on one side; no surprise who was on the other.
Kaia felt like a spy infiltrating Graves Group's ranks.
She tried to keep a low profile, but the group chat was already buzzing.
[Kaia, you're getting the short end of the stick, always separated from us. Poor thing!]
[Don’t worry, we'll all be together for the campfire games tonight.]
[Kaia, your tent’s right next to Mr. Graves. Can you sneak a recording of him snoring?]
[Bold move! Are you trying to get fired? How do you even know Mr. Graves snores?]
Kaia’s fingers hovered over the keyboard, typing “He doesn’t snore” before catching herself and deleting it.
Her heart skipped a beat.

That was a close one.

Graves Group had only sent their admin and secretarial teams, but even that outnumbered Vanguard Law Firm's
entire
turnout.
As night fell, the campfire roared to life, and everyone gathered around, the air buzzing with laughter and
warmth.
Kaia sat with her firm's group, keeping her distance from
Lucien.
Someone piped up, their voice bright with excitement. “The vibe’s perfect. How about we play Truth or Dare, like
old times?”
Lucien, unfamiliar with the game, tilted his head. “How does it work?”
The proposer hadn't expected Lucien to join in-who’d dare rope the CEO into something like this?
But since Lucien seemed genuinely curious, he explained, “We spin a bottle, and whoever it points to picks either
truth- answering a question honestly-or dare, doing whatever's on a card you draw.”
Lucien nodded, a spark of interest in his eyes. “Sounds fun.

Countin, if you all don’t mind.”
Who would dare to say no to that?
The bottle spun, and by stwist of fate, it landed on Lucien first.
The crowd erupted, clapping and chanting, “Mr. Graves! Mr. Graves!”
“So, Mr. Graves, truth or dare?” someone called out.
Lucien, playing it safe, chose truth.
“Alright, who's got a question for Mr. Graves?”
A bold soul from Vanguard Law Firm shot up their hand. “Mr. Graves, I'm going out on a limb here. How old were
you when you had your first love? And... do you still talk to them?”
Lucien raised an eyebrow. “That's two questions.”
The asker laughed nervously, “Okay, pick one, Mr. Graves.”
He smiled, his voice calm but playful, “My first love was when | was twenty-four.”
Kaia nearly bit through her lip.
What? Lucien had another girlfriend before me?

He's kept a secret first love under wraps?
The group buzzed with surprise. “Wow, Mr. Graves, twenty-four? That's kinda late for a first love!”
By pure chance, the next spin pointed to Kaia.
Vanessa, as Kaia’s friend, grinned. “Kaia, I'll go easy on you. Answer the squestion.”
Kaia, who'd been silently fuming moments ago, froze.
Her first love wasn’t Lucien.
“Um, twenty,” she mumbled, her cheeks heating up.
Jude, sensing the tension, hurried
things along. "Nextpesd spire!
