I thought, Josh? Isn’t he just a taxi driver? How does he end up being the lighting engineer I’ve been hoping for?’ In that instant, I thought I was hallucinating.


    Josh, this is Miss Kemp!” Cameron made the introduction.


    Josh reached out his hand to me. “Hello, Miss Kemp.”


    The tone of his voice and the look in his eyes were like we’d never met before.


    I was still sitting, and from where I was, I could see his sharp jawline and that… damn Adam’s apple, which, for some reason, I couldn’t help but keep noticing.


    Myra nudged me with her elbow, bringing me back to reality. I stood up and extended my hand.


    As soon as our hands touched, Josh spoke up, “Miss Kemp, you eat first. I’ll go check out the site.”


    “No. I’ll go with you,” I said, starting to walk, but Josh didn’t move.


    He suddenly turned to Cameron beside him. “Cameron, have you eaten yet? I haven’t had anything. Is there food here?”


    Cameron smiled and replied, “I’ve already eaten,” then nced at me, “You can order takeout.”


    I understood the look he gave me and immediately turned to Myra. “Myra, order some takeout for Josh.”


    “Got it,” Myra said, quickly pulling out her phone. “What do you want, Josh? Pasta, pizza, or hamburger?”


    Josh raised a hand, pointing at the half-eaten takeout I was having. “Just get the same as that.”


    The takeout I was eating was steak, which I’d asked Myra to order. But I didn’t think he’d be into this kind of food. Yet, here he was, ordering it.


    “Alright. Didn’t expect you and Miss Kemp to have the same taste, Myra said, muttering as she ced the order.


    I awkwardly cleared my throat and turned to Josh and Cameron. “So, should we-”


    “Let’s eat first. You need to be full before you can work.” Josh said, dropping his big backpack and pulling out a half-finished bottle of water. He tilted his head back and took a few quick sips.


    As he drank, his Adam’s apple bobbed up and down, and I couldn’t help but swallow a little myself.


    The takeout wouldn’t arrive for at least 20 minutes. Josh looked at me, still holding the bottle. “Miss Kemp, go ahead and keep eating. We’ll check out the site first.”


    With that, he and Cameron walked off. Myra poked me. “Zoe, Josh is so handsome. He’s so manly!”


    People were visual creatures, and Myra immediately took a liking to him. I had to say, she really had good taste.


    “But don’t you have a boyfriend?” I asked, still slurping my food.


    Myra grinned. “That doesn’t stop me from keeping my options open. Anyway, once the lighting’s adjusted, he’ll be gone. If I can just…


    I nearly choked on that. I hadn’t expected the prim and proper, in-looking Myra to have such a wild side.


    You’re shameless!” I muttered, then added, “Keep that to yourself. Don’t cause any trouble.”


    “Why not? It’s been so boring here for over a month. Don’t worry, Zoe. I won’t cross the line, Myra said, looking like she was already plotting her next move,


    I thought about what Josh had told me earlier and shook my head.


    Josh’s takeout arrived 22 minutester. In those 22 minutes, Myra had talked about nothing but him. I had to admit, after seeing how she acted, I was starting to believe in love at first sight.


    I couldn’t help but think, ‘If Myra breaks up with her boyfriend for Josh, I might be half responsible. And honestly, I didn’t think Josh would ever like her.


    Right now, Myra was just looking for a distraction, but I knew once she started developing feelings, it would be like opening a wound she couldn’t close. To avoid her getting hurt, it was better to nip this in the bud.


    So I said, “He already likes someone else.”
