| look up, my mouth still open, to see Kent standing there, sliding a plate in front of Daniel as well. | look him over, noting thechef’s apron tied tight around his slim waist, his clean-shaven cheeks below eyes with dark circles beneath them. Apparently, hegot less sleep than | did last night.
| cock my head, curious about that.“Daniel,” Kent says, his voice even but unfriendly. “Don’t youhave class to attend?”Daniel just crosses his arms, glaring at his dad and notresponding. But Kent doesn’t rise to the bait. Instead, he turns to1.me.“Fay, I'd like you to go to lunch today at your father’s house.”“Really?” | ask, my eyebrows raising.Kent nods. “Yes, | need you to feel out the situation. Word has gotten out about the end to your engagement to Daniel,”he continues, looking briefly at Daniel to include him in the
conversation, “and that you’ve been spending time with Ivan. I'd like you to see how your father feels about this change. Andreport
it back to me.”

“What,” Kent demands, his words clipped. “You don’t want to do
it?”
“Oh,” | say, surprised. “Um, no, I'll do it...it’s just...one of the less pleasant tasks that I’ve been assigned.”
Kent does an almost double take at these words, looking suddenly into my eyes with surprise on his face. | cock my head to seeit — I’m not sure I’ve ever seen Kent truly surprised before. But then | consider the meaning of my last words and realize that, ofcourse, our encounter on the third floor last night was an
assignment of sorts. And that I’ve just implied that lunch with mydad will be worse...
| blush, and curse myself again for my stupid tendency to do thatall the time. Not only do | look like an idiot, blushing all the time, |also wear my emotions right on my sleeve.
“No,” | blurt out, shaking my head and looking down at mybreakfast, “I mean, it’s fine. I'll do it. It won’t be so bad.”
“Not every assignment is going to be a date with a sexy tattooedblonde, Fay,” Kent insists and | look back up at him in shock. Was.he...did he just tease me? Did he just...
“Did you just...call lvan? Your enemy? A sexy tattooed blonde?”Kent just smirks at me and laughs a little, turning away. “Your carChapter 178

I say nothing as Kent walks away, just staring after him, wondering how he does this. Balances it all, lives a life of such extremeswith such complete control. Hell, | get one knot in my plans and go to pieces, but Kent...
“Wait,” Daniel says, leaning forward and interrupting my train of thought. “Did you go out on another date with lvan? When?”“Um,” | say lightly, picking up my fork and poking at my eggs.
“Last night?”
“What!?”
I sigh, looking evenly at Daniel. “Seriously, Daniel, if you want to be a part of this then you should pay more attention. You're like,the last person in this house to be aware of that.” Frustrated, | start to shovel food into my mouth. Seriously, if he’s so into beingmy fake fiancé, you'd think he’d start to pay a bit more attention to
