Chapter 111:

Elyse’s husband has prepared afternoon tea for everyone. “Guys, please join us,” he announced cheerfully. The orchestra manager was delighted; the complimentary afternoon tea provided an excellent opportunity to ingratiate himself with the leaders of the TV station. As the group dispersed towards the food, only Kaelyn and Theo remained behind.

Jayden gave him a sidelong glance. “You’re not in any position to tell me what to do. Just watch. I won’t let you have what you want,” Theo retorted, his frustration evident.
