Aiden has resumed picking Maya up after work and watching her like a hawk. And she is perplexed about it. Why has he returned to acting like her bodyguard? Is she in some sort of danger?
He is currently hovering around her while she is prepping to cook.
"Don't you have a girlfriend you can go bother instead?" Maya snaps at him, angrily chopping the carrots she is going to use for a Moroccan-style chickpea, carrot, and spinach soup.
It's Tuesday, and she only spent part of the day at work, as she does every Tuesday. She was looking forward to relaxing and cooking at her leisure, but Aiden ruined that with his sudden, hawk-like behavior.
"I don't have a girlfriend and don't plan on getting one anytime soon," Aiden said, popping a carrot into his mouth.
"Don't you have a sports car company to run?"
"My chief of operations (COO) is very competent."
Maya grumbled. "Great, I'm stuck with you."
