“I’ll compensate the ladies for any damages. Mr.
Gomez, Mr. Murphy… please don’t get angry,” he said.
Lucinda helped Gail up and glared at her. She knew who was at fault without having to ask.

Deb.”
Everyone turned around curiously. A man in a white suit stood there gracefully, holding a glass of red wine with one hand, the other in his pocket. It was Hayden, topic of the day.
His cropped hair had been cut into a flat-top. His almond-shaped eyes were thick with joy.
“Hayden,’ called his mom, Blanche Lawson. She looked at her son in disbelief.
After casting a silent look at his parents and his sister, Hayden walked towards Debbie and stood in front of her with a doting smile.

And when it’s over, all the things you used to do, places you used to go, the feelings attached to those things linger. Debbie was lost in her head. It was not until Jared nudged her that she cto her senses. Back in the present, she turned Hayden down quietly.
“Thank you, Hayden. But I wasn’t going to pay them anything.”
The gentle smile on his face turned to a grim one at her response. How she could be so haughty was beyond him. She was only married to a secretary, after all. And she was even bold enough to offend so many powerful families.
