Natalie spotted him too. “Ethan.”

Noticing the slight confusion in his eyes, she explained in a flat voice. “We had a class reunion today. This is Rosie’s uncle. Mr. Pierce.

Ethan got out of the car and nodded in understanding. His gaze lingered on Henry for a moment before he gave a polite

smile.

“Mr. Pierce,” he said, extending his hand.

Henry stepped out of the car as well and shook his hand, his expression cool and composed. “Mr. Mitchell, nice to meet you.”

As their hands met, something subtle seemed to flow through the air.

Natalie leaned against the car, letting the evening breeze hit her face. She squinted slightly.

Ethan pulled his hand back and said out of politeness, “Since you’re here, Mr. Pierce, why not come in for a bit? It’s dinner ime. You’re welcome to join us.”

He wore the perfect polite smile as he spoke, but his eyes practically said, “I’m just being nice. There’s no way you re actually going to say yes,”

After all, this was Henry, the head of Pierce Group, known throughout the business world for being cold and distant

He barely ever showed up at social events. There was no way he’d agree to a last–minute dinner like this.

But the very next second, Henry answered, “Alright.”

Ethan’s smile froze for a moment.

He glanced at Henry, searching that cool, striking face for any sign he was joking. But there was none Henry sexpM UNSPOIL) was completely serious

Henry casually took the empty seat on Natalie’s other side, as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

Blake glanced at the spot. That was supposed to be his seat.

He was in a foul mood. He’d made all this food for Natalie, and now some random guy showed up uninvited.

And on top of that, the guy even took his seat.

Blake had never liked Henry, thinking he was nothing but trouble.

Henry had his hands in everything, legit or not. There was even a time they almost went head–to–head. Nothing actually happened, but the bad blood was definitely there.

After that, they stayed out of each other’s way.

Blake looked pretty annoyed, but with his parents there, he had no choice but to sit across from Henry without saying anything. He kept his eyes locked on Henry the whole time, like Henry was some kind of dangerous anamal about to snap

William glanced at Natalie and Rosie, then smiled, “Funny how fate keeps bringing our families together

Henry picked up a piece of grilled asparagus from his plate, with a faint, unreadable smile on his hips. Yeah wuz tart weem to have a lot of ties,” he said, his answer deliberately vague.
