“Madam Fisher.”
Hayden spoke in a raspy voice, “As I see things, Ms. Caroline Fisher is a delicate piece of art that needs to be handled with care. The last thing I want is for my security detail to knock over Ms. Caroline.”
Since Caroline had caught Hayden’s eye, Hayden kept planting the idea in her brother’s head to go after Caroline. Hayden took a liking to the person Caroline was.
Many took things at face value, having the opinion that Caroline was not up for the daunting task of taking over as head of the household. The Fishers owned many businesses that were managed and run by the head of the household.
Caroline gave the impression of someone weak, small, and green.
Hayden saw through Caroline for who she really was though.
Nevertheless, Hugh said that the Fisher family had hidden depths, and going forward with dating Caroline would embroil them in the Fishers’ internal strife.
Now that Hayden had witnessed Madam Fisher’s attitude toward Caroline, she had to admit that Hugh had a better understanding of the situation.
“Mr. Queen, my sister is doing fine. It’s not like she cried out in pain or something,” Celine interrupted, making her presence known.
She could not stand Hayden taking Caroline’s side.
Celine refused to listen to a word that went in Caroline’s favor.
She believed Hayden was sticking up for Caroline. In fact, Hayden had never shown such deferential treatment to any woman in the whole of Jensburg.
Hayden’s affection toward Caroline did not go unnoticed.
Seeing red, Celine rationalized that Caroline got lucky with Hayden, so she snitched to her mother about Caroline’s shameless and cliché approach to get Mr. Queen’s attention.
“Mr. Queen, I apologize for earlier. Everything’s fine now. I need to go to the restroom.”
Not wanting to be part of the circus, Caroline made up an excuse and took off.
“Mr. Hayden.”
