Owen’s gaze locked onto the girl in the corner, piercing and unrelenting

Selena followed his stare, her smile instantly freezing. She quickly shot a look at Eliza, signaling her to act

Owen didn’t seem to care. He simply turned to his assistant, giving him a look that said it all. The assistant immediately understood, bypassing Selena and Eliza and walking straight to Hailey.

He spoke softly but respectfully. “Miss, our boss would like in speak with you.”

Hailey raised an eyebrow, her voice dripping with sarcasm. “Engaged News to me.”

“Yeah, you didn’t know?” Selena grinned with fake sweetness. “Mom and Dad are setting you up with a really great guy. Once you marry him, you’ll be living the good life.”
