Nathan went out alone after dinner.
As he drove the Polo out of the garage, he spotted a figure hiding behind one of the trees in the yard.
He stopped the car, rolled down the window, and huffed, "Kylie, I saw you. Don't hide."
Kylie came out from behind the tree and rolled her eyes as she said in an infuriated manner, "Who said I was hiding? Don't be such a prick."
Nathan just let out a small laugh.
He knew that Kylie suspected him and wanted to follow him to see if she could find out more about him.
However, he had decided not to expose her and told her with a smile, "Come on, I have something I need to ask of you."
While Kylie was a little shocked but she still got into the passenger's seat after a slight moment of hesitation.
She asked doubtfully, "What is it? If you want me to help you to contact Professor Jenson to obtain the rights to manufacture the vaccine for liver cancer, I can't help you with that."
Nathan replied as he drove out of the compound, "Don't worry, I will handle the vaccine. I need your help with something else. In fact, any female can help me with this."
He realized that his words were rather flirtatious and could easily cause others to misunderstand him.
Sure enough, Kylie immediately looked alert and she asked, "What are you asking me to help you with?"
"It's Penny's birthday in a few days so I want to get her a necklace as a birthday present. Just help me pick one,” Nathan said.
Kylie immediately agreed when she heard this.
She even pretended to be enthusiastic, "Oh, so a necklace as a birthday present! Well, that's simple. I have a friend who runs a jewelry store in Channing. You can get a discount if you go to his shop. Would you like to pay him a visit?"
Nathan guessed that Kylie wanted to prank him as he spotted the sly look on her face.
