Chapter 611 Don’t Get Me Wrong
Sadie remembered that with painful clarity. Her gaze lifted–glacial and slicing
Hailey, apparently unaffected by the frost in her eyes, maintained her pleasant facade
“How’s the jewelry design progressing, Ms. Hudson? I really fancy crossing paths like this. Why don’t we sit and

She was seconds from hurling her scalding drink straight into Hailey’s smug, self–satisfied grin.
Suppressing the fire climbing her throat, she responded evenly, “That won’t be necessary.”
Her tone was sharp and impassive. “There are pressing matters I must prioritize. As for the design—we’ll

Hailey flipped through the sketches, clearly unimpressed. Her frown deepened with each whe
