Aria Jackson was still a bit shy around Hudson Chester, but she had no gender consciousness with her subordinates and snapped unceremoniously, "I called you here to work! Not to play matchmaker!"
"But this work isn't going anywhere..." Lionel pouted.
The identity was found out, but the surveillance clues were cut off. People like Joel Jensen, who live on the fringes of society, have unpredictable whereabouts and could be hiding in some nook or cranny.
Aria Jackson felt her mood sink after hearing this.
Lionel leaned in again and said, "Boss, I'm just being honest here, Dr. Chester likes you so much he brings you water and food every day, and you don't even smile at him. That's got to be demoralizing!"
Aria Jackson's heart skipped a beat, and she glanced at him, "You think… he likes me?"
"Of course." Lionel was adamant, "If he didn't like you, why would he be so nice to you? He must have some feelings for you, right? Don't believe me, ask Bobby!"
