Chairman Lennox smiled back. “It certainly is.”

Evander glanced at Charlotte. “I thought my wife must have spotted someone she couldn’t bear to part with–turns out it was your daughter.”

At that, the Lennox family turned to look at her.

Charlotte forced a smile, managing to recover quickly. “I made plans to meet Noreen. I didn’t expect her to be in the private room right next to ours.”

Evander nodded politely. “I hope we’re not interrupting anything?”

Mrs. Lennox jumped in, “Not at all. Would you like to come in and join us for a while?”

“We appreciate your kindness, Mrs. Lennox. Perhaps another time,” Evander replied before Charlotte could say a word, slipping his arm around her shoulders and steering her back toward their room.
