| knew Jean wouldn't pass up the chance for a little friendly ribbing. And boy, was | a prophet.
| sighed. “We had a lunch date, but he had to leave halfway through because of semergency.”
“Oho. So he stood you up. That's why I'm suddenly an option again.”
“Hey, enough with that!” She really knew how to makefeel bad. “If you've got no plans for today, I'll just
spend the day sleeping. | didn’t get much sleep last night, anyway.”
“Sleep?! Lady, it's the first day of the year!” Jean mentioned the nof a club and added, “We booked a spot

“Gee. Thanks, pal. See you there!”
| arrived at the club before anyone else. | grabbed a magazine and read while | passed the time.
That was when | heard a high-pitched voice call out, “Oh-em-gee, Taylor Jones?!”
| looked up. A group of two men and two women walked by. One of them-the one calling out to me-was Candy
Frieze.
We hadn't seen each other since that disaster at the centennial.
Honestly, I'd planned to ignore her completely. First, we'd been enemies since our university days. Second,
Candy had been friendly with Soren before. She’d even visited the Kenway Estate.
| was sure of it. But Soren never mentioned her visit. | had no idea what had happened there.
Candy took off her shades and smirked. “Are you going inside, or is it because you can’t actually afford the
membership?
“Oh my God, | thought you owned a company, Taylor! Is it not making enough money to cover the fees?”
| set the magazine down. “Yeap. Can't afford it at all. | know you're dying to be generous like last time, Candy.
Con, helpsign up for a year!”
Her face twisted into a glare. “In your dreams, bitch!”
“I was just joking,” | said. “Underneath those gargantuan breasts, there's a very small heart, indeed.”
| made a gesture toward her chest and smirked.
Candy, fuming, moved toward me, but the man next to her tugged on her arm.
He whispered something in her ear, and her anger flared into something deeper-jealousy.

“Oh, so that’s what happened, huh? You got hooked up with Mr. Kenway. A woman abandoned by her partner and
with a father serving tin jail. And you still think you deserve him?”
“Look in the mirror, Candy. You should see how twisted your face looks now. You look worse than an ogre.”
“How dare you?! You think you've won, do you? Think again! Even if the two of you marry, don’t celebrate just
yet. You have no idea what his grandfather will say about it!”
My heart skipped a beat. She had been to the estate and even met Soren’s grandfather. | had visited multiple
times but had only encountered Lisbeth so far.Meanwhile, | had seen Soren’s father just once.
