“Well then, I won’t keep you any longer, Hailey. I have some business to attend to, Graham said, standing up and heading for the door.

As she watched him leave, Hailey let out a quiet sigh of relief. She grabbed her phone and quickly sent a message to Scarlett on WhatsApp: [He’s gone.]

Scarlett didn’t reply for a long while.

“This is Scarlett’s matter,” Hailey said coldly, her gaze unflinching. “Sorry, I can’t say anything.

Hailey followed his gaze and saw Scarlett standing outside the restaurant, already cornered by Graham.

Hailey muttered a curse before standing up and walking toward the door.

Owen followed, moving at a relaxed pace.

Graham flashed a shameless smile. “Not yet.”

They both got what they wanted–she got his money, and he got her body. It was a simple arrangement meant to end after three years–clean, final.
