“Yeah,” Claudia replied with a smile.

“Next time, make sure to watch out–negotiate if you need to. Don’t let him walk away with all your cash,” Spencer advised.

Claudia chuckled…

It seemed like everyone in their crowd was pretty laid–back. Hanging out with them always felt easy and comfortable. None of them acted like the stereotypical rich folks people always gossip about.

Harvey stood nearby without saying a word, then reached up and scratched the spot where a mosquito had bitten him the night before.

Spencer glanced over. “We’ve got mosquitos in my hotel now?”

Harvey didn’t feel like getting into it. Dolores kept quiet too.

Claudia and Darren exchanged amused smiles.

The event was about to kick off.

They followed Harvey inside.

Harvey guided Claudia to a seat at the front table. Darren and Dolores took seats farther back, several rows

Harvey leaned toward her and said quietly, “Most of what they’re saying up there is just fluff. Doesn’t mean much.”

She couldn’t help but laugh softly.

“Southhall Compound has a solid reputation. They just don’t know you yet. Some of the businesses here could actually be good partners for Southhall,” Harvey explained, pouring her some iced juice.

with a black vest over it.

From where she sat, Claudia could see how tall he was. From that angle, he carried that calm, commanding presence that naturally drew the room’s attention.

On stage, he spoke with ease, moved smoothly, and held the room with a quiet authority.

Dolores watched from the side of the stage.

This was her first time attending an event like this with Harvey too.

Harvey wore suits and dress shoes year–round–that never changed. Today was no different.

But after last night, Dolores saw him in a slightly new light.
