Kaia followed, closing the door behind her, trying to stay upbeat. “What’s up, Jude? The meeting didn’t go well?”

“Mr. Alden Graves, are you waiting for someone?” one of the staff asked.

Alden just shook his head, ignoring them, leaving the housekeepers confused.

If he isn’t waiting, why is he glued to the front door?

What nobody knew was, ever since Kaia blocked him yesterday, Alden had been in a foul mood.
