She's Too Busy Winning to Watch Him Cry novel Chapter 331

A few moments later, the two men walked out of the tearoom together.

Mr. Sutton was still worried about Maisie's quick temper. The sudden revelation of an illegitimate half-brother, Zane Sutton, returning to claim a share of the family business was bound to cause friction. He feared they wouldn't be able to get along, and even worse, that Maisie would let her anger get the best of her and create a massive scandal.

Rowan Jameson seemed to read his mind, his tone steady and reassuring. "I'll keep a close eye on Maisie."

Knowing that Rowan always kept his word, a weight lifted from Mr. Sutton's chest. "Rowan, hearing you say that puts my mind completely at ease..."

The two men navigated the quiet corridors. Just as they rounded a corner, they unexpectedly ran into two younger people walking toward them.

It was Elara Townsend, who had been forced into attending a blind date, walking alongside a heavily built, unrefined man.

Lately, Elara's family had been relentlessly setting her up with suitors. This particular man's father had helped Thomas Townsend with a construction project in the past. The man had brazenly brought up that old favor, making it painfully obvious he was cashing in on a debt. His blunt, transactional attitude left the Townsend family feeling incredibly uncomfortable.

Elara had only agreed to meet him to save her father's face, but she hadn't expected the guy to be so utterly unattractive.

He was rough around the edges and built like a linebacker.

He was only four years older than her, yet he looked like he had aged an extra decade.

The man's boorish aura was suffocating, clashing terribly with her polished image. She couldn't even bear to look at him.

From the moment she laid eyes on him, Elara had lost her composure. Her ears burned with humiliation, and she felt entirely cornered and embarrassed.

Storming out in a furious huff, she suddenly spotted Rowan. It was like seeing a savior.

Elara hastily jogged up to him, desperately grabbing his sleeve. "Rowan, save me," she pleaded, her voice trembling with panic.
