Rebecca was taken aback.

She hadn’t expected the news to spread so quickly.

She’d only gotten the contract at noon, and before she even got home, everyone already knew about it.

“Where’s your grandma?” Rebecca asked.

“Grandma’s in the study,” Samuel answered. Lately, he’d been getting pretty tight with Amelia and her crew. “She told me to just ignore them, pretend they don’t even exist.”

Rebecca gave a little nod and led Samuel inside the house.

Amelia could brush them off because they’d all let her down; ignoring them was actually the nicest way she could handle things. But Rebecca was in a different spot. If she wanted to reclaim Amelia’s shares, facing those people was unavoidable.

“Oh yeah, Grandma told me to let you know,” Samuel said, his eyes big and round. “If you don’t want to bother with them, just say whatever comes to mind–no need to take it seriously.”

“Alright,” Rebecca agreed, a hint of relief in her voice.

Moments later, Rebecca and Samuel went inside together.

Mark disappeared into his room with his bags in tow.

When Rebecca and Samuel walked into the living room, the people on the couch all glanced their way. Ryan was the first to spot her. “Hey, Rebecca–you’re back.”

“Yeah,“.Rebecca replied, giving a small nod.

“This is for you. A little celebration for sealing the deal,” Ryan said, handing her a beautifully wrapped box.

Rebecca was just about to say something, but Ryan gently beat her to it. “Take a breather. I’ll go upstairs and let your mom know you’re home.”

Without waiting to see how Rebecca reacted, he put the gift in her hands and strode off.

Rebecca just stared, totally baffled.

‘Didn’t Mom already know I was home?‘

‘Seriously, does he have to act like he owns the place? He’s getting way too comfortable,’ Rebecca thought.

“Come on over and have a seat,” Michael said warmly, a kindly smile on his face. “You’ve really got some talent, girl. Two projects in just two months–you’re making the Quinn family proud.”

Rebecca just played along, keeping it polite. “Just lucky, I guess.”

Michael chuckled, all cheer. “Luck counts as skill in my book. Nice work.”

Rebecca gave a subtle nod and kept quiet.

“So, what’s next for you?” Max Quinn finally spoke up, stone–faced as always.
