I thought, ‘Girlfriend? Just a few days ago, he was trying to set me up on a blind date and even talked about getting a marriage license with me. And now, just dayster, he has a girlfriend?’


    As I thought about how eager he was to get a marriage license, it seemed like he really needed a woman. So when I turned him down, he quickly found someone else.


    I thought, ‘Fine by me-at least now I don’t have to worry about him. I can move on without any tension.’


    I tossed my takeout box into the trash, then moved off to the side to wait for him.


    It didn’t take Myra more than a couple of minutes to catch up with me. Clearly, she hadn’t finished her pasta. She probably couldn’t stomach it now that Josh, the guy she liked, already had a girlfriend.


    Myra let out a dramatic exhale. “Of course, all the good ones are taken. Not even a chance to flirt.”


    I couldn’t help butugh. “Myra, thank God your mom made you a girl. If you were a guy, you’d be dead by now.”


    Just as I finished speaking, Josh walked over. He was wearing a ck T-shirt, cargo pants, and ankle-high boots. His posture was straight, exuding confidence-he was pure charisma in motion.


    “Hot!” Myra gasped. “Zoe, look at how built he is. The more I look, the better he gets. If he picked me up and hugged me around the waist, I think I’d faint.”


    I flicked her on the head. “Stop thinking about that kind of stuff.”


    “Come on, Zoe, what kind of woman is worthy of a guy like him? I’m so curious.” Myra seemedpletely taken by Josh.


    “I don’t know. You could ask him yourself,” I said, already walking toward him.


    Even though Josh was technically the client, he was in charge of the entire lighting setup right now.


    As the person overseeing the project, I had to respect his position. If the lights didn’t get fixed right, it was me who would have to deal with the fallout.


    Myra quickly followed me. Just before we got to Josh, she whispered, “Zoe, this guy is totally out of reach, but at least it’d be nice to get up close and breathe him in.”


    I rolled my eyes, thinking, ‘She’s unbelievable.’


    Myra had been around me for two years, and I never knew she was this obsessed with men. It was like she had zero boundaries.


    When we arrived at the site, Josh and Cameron were already there. Since Cameron had already sent him the details in an email, Josh immediately dove into the lighting adjustments.


    The process went smoothly, and in no time, he had fixed the first lighting issue.


    “Awesome! Truly a top-tier engineer!” Myra pped and cheered, clearly fangirling.


    Josh walked up to me. “Where’s your power distribution room?”


    “What?” I was confused.


    “These lights are really sensitive to current fluctuations. I need to check your power supply and the wiringyout. It’d be best


    if you could get the electrician who handles the circuits to meet me there,” Josh exined.


    I didn’t ask any more questions. I just called the electrician and told him to meet me at the power distribution room.


    Myra went with Cameron to check out the next issue. I led Josh to the power room, and we walked in silence. The atmosphere felt oddly tense.


    Finally, I broke the silence. “Aren’t you a taxi driver?”


    “I am. It’s a part-time job,” he answered casually.


    Holly had said he was capable, and now I could see it. Being a lighting engineer was a high-level job with good pay, but he still worked part-time as a taxi driver.


    Aside from him being capable, there was probably another reason why he rented from Holly-he needed the money. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be staying in such a small, rundown ce.


    I couldn’t help but nce at his clothes again. They were nothing special, but somehow, on him, they looked tough and had a certain edge.


    They said clothes made the man, but Josh seemed to have the ability to turn even a worn-out jacket into something stylish.


    “Do I have a problem?” His voice brought me back to reality.
