Elysia felt a knot tighten in her stomach as she thought about what would happen if the press caught wind of this.

She wasn’t naive, Her brothers had made their feelings about Zane clear–they didn’t like him at all.

This situation needed careful planning from every angle.

Right now, she focused on Zane. He was the one she had chosen, and she wasn’t about to let him slip away.

“Much better, Elysia replied.

When he opened the door, Barry stood there with a gift box in hand. His eyes lit up when he recognized Zane. “Mr. Hartley, as you requested, here’s everything you need,” he said, handing the box over.

“Thanks,” Zane replied, taking the box with a nod.

Over the years, Barry had never seen Zane bring a date to any event.

Well, there was that one time at Tom’s party, but that was different–Tom had a strange rule that everyone needed a partner.

Other than that, Barry had always known Zane to be single.
