“Hadley,” Chelsey said, jogging up, her eyes scanning Hadley’s face.
“I'm... Mr. Scott is here again.”
She gestured toward the door. “He is waiting outside.”
Hadley paused mid-makeup removal, her expression flickering with something unreadable.
“Wantto tell him you're swamped?” Chelsey offered, reading the moment.
