The Runaway Groom

Zachary remained restless as he returned to the hotel.

He and his employees would be going to Goldpool, an enclosed hotel built exclusively for people like Zachary with professional needs, tomorrow.

They would more or less show her respect.

Vivian, dressed full in back, strode through an alley before knocking on a certain door.
