“You can get back to your work. Tell her I'm fine waiting—she can take as long as she needs.”
“I will do!” Chelsey nodded.
Eric glanced at Phillips, who caught the cue and gently guided Chelsey aside.
“Miss Williams, we're grateful for your help,” Phillips said smoothly. “I've sent a little something to your bank

“Alright,” Hadley replied after a fleeting pause, her tone quiet but agreeable.

“What's tempting you tonight?”
Settling across from each other, Eric slid the menu toward Hadley with a gentle smile.

“Perfect.” Hadley nodded, pressing her lips tightly. The choices were all her favorites—how could she object?
“Done deal,” Eric said, finalizing the order with a nod.
As they awaited their meal, Hadley toyed with her glass, her fingers tracing its curves in a restless dance.
Her eyes met Eric's, and she spoke with a tender sincerity. “I'm truly grateful for your help with Brady's mess.”
