Olivia’s cheeks heated as she spun around to see Alexander and Duke in the doorway of the private room. Alexander’s hands were clenched into tight fists at his side, and jealousy was flowing through him because Stanley had asked Olivia if she was single. Why did that old man want to know? He was married to Hana.

“Trying to set me up again, Uncle Stanley?” Duke said, sensing the tension in the room and trying to smooth it over. But this just made Alexander even more mad. Over his dead body, would Duke and Olivia ever be romantically together.
