Chapter 56 I Have Someone
I Love
“Oh, really?” Duran asked, settling deeper into the plush sofa. He was in his early forties, middle–aged but clinging to the last threads of youth.
His slicked–back hair couldn’t hide the thinning patch in the middle, a telltale sign of a receding hairline. Wrinkles lined his face, and his belly pushed against his suit–a man well–fed by comfort and excess.
His tailored suit and steady gaze gave him the air of a man accustomed to control.
He glanced up, eyes skimming over Hadley before landing on her face. “Your name is Hadley?”
Lennon gave Hadley a gentle nudge.
She caught the cue, stepping forward with practiced poise.
“Yes, Mr. Murray. I’m Hadley Pearson,” she said, her voice steady and sure.
“Hadley…”
He grinned, turning the name over like a coin between his fingers. “That’s a lovely name.”
But it wasn’t just the name–she was even more striking in person.
On stage, the mask had concealed her face, but her eyes hinted at something captivating.
Still, he’d underestimated just how mesmerizing she was.
He hadn’t expected her to be this stunning.
“You’re too kind.”
Hadley smiled, her clear eyes catching the light like stars in a quiet sky.
“I’m really just here to thank you–for everything. Your support these past few days, the flowers… I loved them.”
“Is that so?” Duran lifted an eyebrow, amusement flickering in his gaze. His satisfaction was unmistakable. “I’m glad you did.”
“Mr. Murray…”
As Hadley spoke, Lennon signaled the waiter with a flick of his hand.
A tray arrived smoothly. She reached for a pre–poured glass of wine and held it out to Duran.
“This one’s on me,” Hadley said.
“Of course.” Duran accepted the glass with a nod.
