She forced a laugh. “Of course not. I just would’ve never expected that to happen and I actually speak for everyone.”
“I have Maddox to thank for that. He’s the one who made me see things differently.”
“I guess that’s how much he’s changed,” she said with wonder.
I didn’t want to have any negative energy around moving forward, so I thought that was the perfect opportunity to talk o Trina as well.
“I know things were a bit weird because of him, but I’d like us to move past that because you’re my family.”
She forced a chuckle as she tapped my shoulder. “Of course.”
“Trina, I really mean it.”
She turned serious for a moment when she realized there was no need to pretend. Then, she sighed and playfully rolled he
eyes.
“Look, I admit that I did some shitty things while trying to be subtle with it,” she said.
I lightly shook my head. “Well, not as subtle as you thought.”
“Anyway, my point is, I was just so jealous and couldn’t help it, but I’m over it now because if you and Aunt Veronica can start over, so can we. How about you come to one of the fashion shows this weekend in Paris? I’ll give you one of the best seats available! It’ll be-”
“There you are,” Dean interrupted from the other end of the hallway as he approached us. “I’ve been looking for you.
“Me?” Trina pointed at herself.
“Definitely not you.” He let out a mocking laugh.
“Ugh! Whatever. Anyway…” She looked back at me with a smile. “Is that a yes?”
I smiled back at her. “Of course.”
“Perfect! I better call my assistant so she can make sure of that.”
“What’s this about?” Dean asked when he was close enough
“That’s none of your business.” Trina said to him while dialing a number
“Ouch! He dramatically placed a hand on his chest Harper can we talk in private
That made Trina pause “Wow asking ber that right in front of me
“That’s how much I want you to know you’re not needed for day conversation he said bluntly
I always enjoyed then playful back and forth and i went on for few seconds before Tria got to be the one to put a stop to
“Whatever it is. I’ll eventually find out she said before getting on the phoon with her assistant
Just as she started heading in the opposite direction of the hallway Dean gestured with his hand for me to walk with huny in

the other direction.
We were only a few steps in when he said, “It’s actually Kate who wants to talk to you.”
“Oh, about what?”
He chuckled. “About everything.”
I raised my eyebrows with surprise. “Oh…”

“I know about her history with you, Maddox and Tiffany,” he said. “She made sure to tell me early when we were getting know each other. I met her in Sydney. She was very paranoid back then because she thought Tiffany would find her or something. I made sure that never happened.”
With a light chuckle, I stopped in my tracks. “I have to admit that I’m still shocked that she’s your girlfriend. You must like her that much if you’re willing to overlook everything that happened.”
“I do. Besides, that was a long time ago and she’s a different person now. That’s why she also wants to talk to you. She’s waiting for us on the second floor balcony.”
I was actually glad Kate wanted to talk to me because I had so much to ask her.
“She’s so lucky your mom approved of her right away without even knowing her background.” I admitted.
He nodded with a huge sigh. “I was actually more nervous than she was. Only to find out I was worried about nothing”
“You should’ve seen your mom in the elevator when we were coming back to the living room. She had so many expectation that I felt nervous for whoever was going to be your girlfriend. But hey, everything worked out in the end.”
I expected him to follow that up with a silly comment or something, but he smiled like he had something sincere to say
“I never thought I’d see the day when you and my mom would get along. Just the fact that she invited you to sit next to her after the two of you came back to the living room together already meant a lot.”
With a grin, I proudly told him all about what happened and his face brightened up a lot. He wanted his mother and I to ge along for the longest time and finally got it.

Kate leaned over the railing while staring at the garden when footsteps caught her attention and she lookes! back
She straightened up instantly and smiled at Dean while the two of us approached her
“I was starting to wonder if you had decided to leave me here alone for a long time,” she sand while still keeping her eyes on
7 Her bright smule faded slightly when she glanced at me “Hey. Harper
“Hey I managed a small simile
I joined her by the balcony and leaned against the rating as well
I was just about to say something to her when Dean came closer to Kate and held her hand
“Ladies, I think this is the part where I leave you two alone You de hotely have a lot to catch up on Inced to call Maddox He mentioned something very interesting to Dad
“What’s that?” It was only because Maddox was mentioned that I was so curtons

He chuckled dismissively. “It’s nothing that you should think about right now. You’ll find out when the time is right.”
After a quick kiss on Kate’s cheek, he finally excused himself and the silence settled between the two of us for a few seconds
again.
It got to a point where I didn’t think she’d be the first to say a word, so I took it upon myself to break the ice
“I really didn’t expect to see you here,” I admitted.
She forced a chuckle. “It’s very different in my case. I knew I’d see you here. Dean’s been telling me everything, apart from what’s usually posted about you being part of this family. I would’ve never thought you were actually from such a powerf family. I see you fit right in.”
“Yup.”
“How’s Anna?”
I smiled brightly before even responding. “She’s doing great. She actually made the decision a few weeks ago to go back to school. Uncle Sebastian convinced her.”
“Based on what I know about her, she’s a tough nut to crack, but I guess it’s different when it comes to him.”
I nodded in agreement. “You can say that again.”
“So….how’s San Francisco?” she asked hesitantly.
“Why don’t you visit so you can find out?”
She firmly shook her head. “There’s nothing for me there. I left that place behind months ago. So much happened because of Tiffany that I don’t think I want to ever come back there.”
