Raphael pressed the accelerator, and the car shot forward. The vehicle behind them quickly followed suit, pushing the pedal down to keep pace.

Raphael, usually composed, had a sharp glint in his eyes now. The two cars–one white, one black–sped down the wide road. Thankfully, there wasn’t much traffic; otherwise, things could’ve gone south instantly.

As they approached a traffic light, Raphael slowed his car. The black car behind them stopped right beside him with perfect precision.

Both men lowered their windows. Owen’s cold gaze flicked to Hailey, his eyes piercing through her. She felt a flutter of unease under his gaze, and she instinctively gripped the seatbelt, avoiding his stare.

“Mr. Calhoun, do you have nothing better to do?” Raphael asked, his voice cold.

Owen smiled faintly, his voice low. “I suppose I’ve got time to spare.”

Raphael raised an eyebrow. “Mr. Calhoun, a man of your status, clinging to us like a stray dog–don’t you think that’s beneath you?”

Owen raised an eyebrow, a faint smirk playing at the corner of his lips. “Oh? Did Mr. Park buy this road? Since when can you go where others can’t?”

Raphael’s expression hardened, his tone icy. “I’ve never encountered someone so shameless.”

Owen chuckled lightly, rolling up his window without another word.

Hailey couldn’t help but cover her face, suppressing a laugh. She glanced at Raphael, noticing his tense expression. She quickly held back her amusement.

There was no way they were losing him now, so with a sigh, Raphael eased off the accelerator and steered the car toward a nearby restaurant. Of course, Owen followed right behind.

The three of them walked into the restaurant, one after the other. Owen settled into the table next to Raphael, his demeanor calm and collected, the cool that made you want to march over and knock that smug look off his face.

Raphael handed Hailey the menu. She ordered a steak and a vegetable salad, while Raphael opted for a simple fruit platter.

Hailey lifted her gaze, a hint of surprise in her eyes. “Aren’t you eating?”

Raphael’s expression darkened slightly. “No, I’m not hungry.”
