According to Ran’s intel, Dawson’s assistant, Jamie, was practically a saint. He was known for hisram temperament and willingness to talk about anything

Even it someone said something out of line, Jamie rarely took offense.

So why had he gotten upset over just one sentence

Mr.Faulkner will be here shortly. Mr. Hale, please continue,” Jamie said, his voice noticeably rider now.

Hir inan urually a master of social grace, yet cold sweat had began to form on his back.

What had he said that offended Jamie?

He looked to Autumn for help, but the only seemed move distant and unapproachable,

Well, she was the woman Dawson had personally shielded from drinks. There was no way he could afford to offend someone like her.

Just as Rowan’s embarrassment peaked, a ripple of excitement spread through the grand hall. He heard someone exclaim, “The CEO of the Westgate Group is here!

The CEO of the Westgate Group was famously elusive, so almost everyone, including Damien, turned their heads out of curiosity.

Just then, the Magnolia Hall charity dinner host stepped into view–Joanne, the eldest daughter of the Pearson family and now the head of the household

The grand old mansion, Magnolia Hall, was the private residence of the Pearson family,

It was one of Havermout’s most prominent and long–established old–money dynasties. Only a family of their stature could host a charity dinner that drew such distinguished guests. Jone, the 35–year–old matriarch of the Pearsons, radiated elegance in a sage green gown adorned with delicate hand embroidery.

I know exactly what you mean I couldn’t even make eye contact. If I got any closer, I wouldn’t know what to say

Dumiem, jayden, and Barry airwady knew the CEO was Deson and ware aware of his connection to Damien. Now of them commented much on it.

What Bay off guard, though, was running into his cousin, Ric

Fuco had always taken advantage of being a few years older, bullying Harry aroughout their childhood

Whenever Barry made a mistake, rico would wist the situation, pretending to be the saintly older bother. He’d cry dramatically. “Tease don’t punish Barry! I’m not blaming him at all. It’ll borah my heart! I’ll protect my fine bucher! No one else is allowed to near him!”
