in the restaurant.

Loretta’s blatant attempts to charm Evander were so obvious that even the nearby waitstaff couldn’t help but notice.

Sean caught on, too. His hand paused mid–slice through his steak, and he frowned. “Loretta, a young lady should show a little more restraint.”

“I know, Dad!” Loretta answered, batting her lashes, convinced her expression was irresistibly cute.

Sean tried to remain impassive, but a flicker of disdain broke through his carefully controlled expression.
