Caden shrugged. “If you were that interested, you should have mentioned it earlier. “I know a lot of great guys who would be perfect for you.”

With a firm decision, he turned around and walked away.

Monica rushed over and took Alice by the arm. “I know some friends of my father's who might be helpful. Come with me to meet them. Maybe they can help you with the opening of your gallery.”

Caden nodded, swirling his wine. “Proceed as planned.”

"Understood."

Joshua entered the art exhibition with Lilliana. He struck up a business conversation with Mr. Wade, while Lilliana strolled around outside. As a member of the Green family, she stood out from the crowd.

When she saw Alice talking to some people, Lilliana came over to tease her. “What's wrong with you? Has your father abandoned you? You look desperate.”
