Chapter 144 – Devin's Decision

Devin Booker arrives at the 818 tequila promotional event, determined to talk to Kendall. The party is in full swing, and he makes his way through the crowd, trying to find a moment to speak to her. When he finally sees her, Kendall is surrounded by guests and chatting with them, trying to keep a smile on her face.

Devin approaches, trying to be discreet.

Devin: "Kendall, I need to talk to you."

Kendall (visibly tense): "Devin, please, not right now. I'm busy."

Devin: "It's important. We need to figure this out."

Kendall (looking around, uncomfortable): "This isn't the right time. Please go away."

Devin watches Kendall walk away from the conversation, clearly uncomfortable. He sees an imposing man approaching. The man hugs her from behind, and Kendall relaxes at the touch, recognizing him by his scent.

Devin is surprised and curious when he sees the man introduce himself to Kendall.

Man (firmly): "Hello, I'm Gustavo. I'm Kendall's fiancé."

Devin (whispering to himself): "Who is this guy?"

The man, Gustavo, is dressed in a smart suit, and Devin notices the outline of a gun on Gustavo's waistband, which is clearly visible. The tension increases and Devin realizes the gravity of the situation.

Devin quickly walks away, his heart beating faster. He looks at Gustavo with a mixture of fear and respect.

Devin (thinking): "This guy is trouble. I better not get involved in this."

He decides to leave the event before the situation gets any worse. As he walks away, he passes Kris and Kendall's sisters, who are relieved to see Devin leaving.

Kris (with a look of relief): "Thanks for leaving."

Devin (to himself): "I don't want to face this kind of situation. I better stay away."

Devin returns home, distraught and frustrated. As soon as he arrives, he goes straight to the computer and starts researching Gustavo. He finds information that surprises him.

Devin (reading aloud): "Gustavo Almeida... former stuntman, actor, and special forces captain? He was honored by the president of Brazil? This is serious."

He reads more about Gustavo, discovering details about his career and his role in special operations.

Devin (thinking): "This guy is not someone I want to fight. He could be dangerous."

With the new information about Gustavo, Devin feels a weight of accomplishment. The idea of ​​facing a former special forces captain is not something he wants to do.

Devin (thinking): "There's no point in trying anything with Kendall. This guy is too dangerous. Better to give up and move on."

He turns off the computer and lies down, thinking about how the situation took an unexpected turn. The decision to distance himself from Kendall seems like the wisest one. Devin lies in bed, staring at the ceiling, reflecting on the night and the choices he made. He feels frustrated, but also relieved that he didn't cause more trouble.

Devin (thinking): "I needed to know when to stop. Better to move on and put this behind me."
