Zavier nudged Steven with a sly grin, "So, did you finally win over your crush?"
Steven smirked, "That's for me to know."
"Seems like a no to me," Zavier chuckled.
"With the charm I've got, there's no lady I can't woo," Steven boasted. "But I'm playing the long game here, haven't made my move yet."
"Because of the Salazar family?" Zavier prodded.
"Yeah, the Salazars want to marry their daughter off to me, and my folks are pretty keen on the match. But I've made it clear I won't be tied down to someone I don't fancy. No one's dictating my love life."d2
Skyler stood by, silent, sympathizing with Steven's predicament. It seemed that the wealthier the family, the more they insisted on strategically arranged marriages, leaving little room for personal choice.
Steven caught the look in Skyler's eyes. "Miss Skyler, my situation with the Salazar girl is nothing like whatever's going on between you and Zavier, so don't lump us together."
Zavier threw Skyler a glance and suddenly blurted out, "There's no other girl for me."
Skyler just nodded, "I see."
Steven burst into laughter. "Zavier, my man, taking over Rivera Inc. is a tough gig, and winning over your lady seems just as tricky. You've got your work cut out for you."
Zavier shot him a glare. "Mind your own business. We're here to talk about music, remember?"
The Dixon Group was a titan in the entertainment industry, and young Steven had already taken the reins of a major entertainment company. That was why Zavier wanted to pick his brain—hoping to maximize Skyler's benefits in the industry.
"Do you have any idea how busy I am?" Steven complained. "Do you know how many people wish they could see me and can't?"
