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.”

Considering his obvious status, Hailey didn’t want to cause trouble, so she reluctantly walked over to him.

“What’s this about?” Hailey asked, meeting his gaze head–on

“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.”
