Alicia hadn’t heard of him, but she noticed the subtle change in Caden’s expression.

His mature, chiseled features were strikingly handsome.

Caden shook his hand, then casually slipped an arm around Alicia’s waist.

“My girlfriend, Alicia,” he introduced her simply.

Corey nodded politely.

Unlike Caden’s relaxed nature, Corey exuded a steady composure and quickly steered the conversation toward work.

With a casual smile, Caden asked, “So, what brings you to an event like this, Mr.

Hampton?”

Corey chuckled.
