Lila Hale watched Jaxon Rivers turn and bolt, feeling completely baffled by his sudden departure.

She hadn’t quite caught whatever he muttered under his breath. Shrugging it off, she turned back to her shopping, focused on preparing for her trip to Everett.

At 6:00 AM, the alarm on Mia Carter’s phone blared.

She quickly silenced it, dragged herself out of bed, and headed to the bathroom to wash up.

Halfway through brushing her teeth, the doorbell rang-a series of sharp, urgent presses.

Mia rinsed her mouth and hurried to open the door, her face still half-covered in soap.

‘Breakfast!”

Nina Torres stood there holding a small white porcelain plate. On it sat an exquisite-looking sandwich she had

nade herself.

Thanks.” Mia reached out to take the plate.

Before her fingers could touch the porcelain, Nina nudged her hand away and walked right in.

Go finish washing up. I’ll set this down for you. Besides, you need to tell me exactly what’s going on with Ethan

Hale.”

Nina strode into the apartment, her booming voice filling every corner of the room.

Mia’s heart skipped a beat. She lunged after her.

I’m in a rush to get to work,” Mia whispered urgently. “We’ll talk later.”

What’s the rush? You don’t leave until 7:00. I woke up early specifically to come over here; don’t think you’re scaping this.”

Nina set the breakfast down and flopped onto a chair at the dining table. “You said Ethan came to Everett to help, but I haven’t seen him do a thing. Instead, he’s been running you ragged in the middle of the night. He’s such a ›urden, a total hassle-”

Mia started blinking frantically at her.

At the top of the stairs, Ethan stood leaning against the railing, his eyes groggy as if he had just been woken up by

he noise.

His brow, already slightly furrowed, tightened with every word that left Nina’s mouth.

‘Mph!”

Mia moved with lightning speed, clamping her hand over Nina’s mouth.

‘Mr. Hale, you’re awake.”

A smart man would take the hint and pretend he hadn’t heard anything.

Based on Mia’s knowledge of Ethan, he was exactly that kind of man.

Nina stiffened, a cold shiver racing down her spine.

She slowly turned her head. Catching just a glimpse of Ethan’s presence in her peripheral vision, she froze, then slowly turned her head back to face Mia.

Nina pulled Mia’s hand away. “It’s time to take my son for his morning run. I’ve said enough; I’m leaving. You’re getting paid, so you should work hard and stop complaining. Bye!”

Not only did she leave Mia to deal with the mess, but she also threw Mia under the bus.

She made it sound like Mia had been the one complaining about Ethan being a hassle the whole time.

*Slam!*

Nina shut the door with a deafening bang.

Mia’s heart trembled. She pulled her gaze away from Ethan and cleared her throat.

‘Mr. Hale, what would you like for breakfast? I’ll go make something for you.”

‘No need.”
