Their eyes met in the rearview mirror.

As the neon city lights flickered to life, flashes of color danced through the car, alternating between light and

shadow.

Mia Carter could only see the man’s deep-set eyes, which were exceptionally dark and brooding.

She was the first to look away, focusing her attention on the road ahead.

He obviously doesn’t compare to you, Mr. Hale.”

True.”

Ethan Hale’s tone was cold and biting. “Your taste is getting worse and worse.”

After being insulted for no reason, Mia felt a surge of confusion.

Mr. Hale is right.”

She paused for a moment before adding, “But please don’t trouble yourself with my private affairs. I also hope you an… keep your personal and professional lives separate.”

Her private life had nothing to do with him.

Similarly, whatever drama he had going on with Chloe Bennett shouldn’t involve her.

Ethan remained indifferent, his thumb lightly brushing the face of his watch. His expression was an unreadable,

lark mask.

Half an hour later, they arrived at the Gallagher Manor.

Mia stepped out of the car, wearing a light gray off-the-shoulder gown and a pair of flat shoes.

Standing next to Ethan, she was a full head shorter than him.

The perfect height difference, her striking features, and her unique aura made the pair an instant focal point.

Before they could even get their bearings, Mr. Gallagher and Mrs. Gallagher hurried over to greet them.

Mr. Hale, it’s an honor. Having you attend our anniversary celebration is truly a privilege.”

Mr. Gallagher kept his posture humble.

Even though he was roughly the same age as Arthur Hale, he had no problem acting subordinate to a younger man

ike Ethan.

He was a man who knew how to bide his time.

Ethan responded with practiced calm. “You’re too kind, Mr. Gallagher. It’s my honor to be here and share in the

celebration.”

I’ve heard your own wedding is approaching, Mr. Hale. I hope I’m lucky enough to secure an invitation when the

time comes.”

Ethan and Mr. Gallagher walked ahead, side by side, deep in conversation.

‘Mia, you look absolutely stunning!” Mrs. Gallagher’s eyes lit up the moment she saw her.

As she got closer, her admiration for Mia’s beauty only intensified.

It seems you’ve taken very good care of yourself over the years.”

Mia’s delicate features carried a unique charm as she offered a faint smile.

You’re far too kind, Mrs. Gallagher. Here is a gift for you and Mr. Gallagher. I hope you like it.”

She had tucked the separate gift she’d picked out earlier inside the larger anniversary present.

Mrs. Gallagher was startled for a moment as she took the gift.

How thoughtful. Let the men talk business; I’ll take you over this way.”

She handed the gift to a servant and led Mia toward the garden.

A long bar was set up on the lawn, where the men were clinking glasses and using the rare opportunity to network.

In the garden, the women were gathered in groups, indulging in gossip.

From a distance, Mia spotted Serena Woods. She was resting her hands on her pregnant belly, sitting in a chair and chatting with several women around her age.

If you’re not interested in the topics us older women talk about, go over to Serena’s group. There are more young >eople there; you’ll have more in common.”

Mrs. Gallagher asked for her opinion.

You’re busy, please don’t worry about me. I’ll just wander around on my own. I need to find Mr. Hale in a bit nyway, in case he needs me for something.”

For some reason, Mia didn’t want to spend too much time with Mrs. Gallagher.

The woman’s excessive warmth made her feel uncomfortable.

Hearing this, Mrs. Gallagher let go of her arm. “Alright, find me if you need anything.”

I will.”

After parting ways with Mrs. Gallagher, Mia walked toward a quiet corner of the garden.

There was a woven wicker swing facing the artificial lake, with its back to the main garden.

The Gallagher family had been powerful in Everett for generations, and their estate reflected that deep history.

Across the lake, Mia saw Ethan standing on the lawn.

He stood perfectly still while a crowd swirled around him, people lining up just to say hello.
