9PM

At Kai's mansion, Becca strolled gracefully, flanked by guards trailing behind her like devoted companions. It felt as if she were a Disney princess navigating her royal estate. As she passed by the pool, she lifted her gaze, sensing the intensity of someone else's eyes upon her. Raising her head, she discovered Kai standing by the balcony, a cigar poised between his lips.

"Hope you are enjoying the view?" he inquired, withdrawing the cigar. She mustered a fake smile in response. "Hmm, do you always have to keep your eyes on me?" she quipped, to which he nonchalantly shrugged.

"That is also my duty," he asserted. She clicked her tongue disapprovingly, making a move to depart. However, he halted her with a cryptic promise. "I will be adding more rules, just so you know. By the time you are done and back inside, I will let you know the rest. Or should I just wait and tell you when we are preparing to leave?" he mused aloud, while she stared at him with an expressionless gaze.
