"Alright, I'll wait for you to convince me. So... should I call your brother?" That brother must be a very dutiful one, daring to scheme with her to deceive their parents. Fortunately, he found her. What if he had gotten it wrong and went for the wrong person?
"No need. We have a meeting place arranged. He'll pick me up."
Gem Atkinson knew this child was very daring and didn't want to embarrass her any further. Since he had found her, he had to ensure her safety.
With this in mind, Gem pulled back his phone and said, "Alright, I'll drop you off to meet your brother later."
Audrey let out a giggle and took the opportunity to plant a kiss on Gem's cheek. "Hero, you're finally being a gentleman by sending a lady home."
Gem's face darkened, but he didn't find her soft, tender kiss unpleasant. In fact, he felt his heart soften a whole lot when she touched him.
He gave her little butt another smack and let her down.
