“You have nothing to worry about, Cassie. We got this.” Lyn smiles at me encouragingly. I feel bad for her. She had to cut off her honeymoon vacation just so she can help me prepare for this day.
For the past weeks, I have been busy scouting for a new location for King’s Legend. My days have be locations, talking to authorities and communities, doing site inspections, surveys and integrity testi
It has been a very hard work, and there are times I am about to give up.

“Maybe Attorney Magnus was right in the beginning. King’s Legend is a very ambitious project,” I tell Ethan, who is sitting beside me.
Ethan sighs. I know that he agrees with me.
“I think this is the reason why Steele challenged you with it in the first place,” he mutters. “He kno hat you are bound to
fail.
“Maybe you are right. Because why else would he bring it up if not for me to lose the chairman mention, I’ll lose face as well.”
Kayden Steele must really hate me.
The only good side to working hard on King’s Legend is that it has kept me occupied and disti chatter about Megan and Kayden’s engagement. Everywhere I turn, there are headlines, gossip photos of them, or interviews of Megan. It’s like a never-ending loop of their fairytale romance outlet.
It seems that everyone has made it into a national hype. Like everyone is interested to find out when they will get married, and when the baby will be born.
I’m thankful for King’s Legend for at least letting me forget that am heartbroken about the who
“Are you alright?” Ethan asks..
I look up to him and find that he’s been watching me.
Immediately, as if it’s automatic, I put a smile on my face. “What are you talking about? Of course, I’m okay.”

Ethan smiles at me ruefully. “Cas*ic, I know that I’m your most persistent suitor,” he says. “But apart from that, I’m also your friend. And I know you more than anybody else.”
“What are you saying, Ethan?”
He reaches out for my hand and give it a squeeze.
The press just wouldn’t shut up about Megan. It makes me wonder if they were paid to actually make it seem like national. interest. He chuckles humorlessly.
“Well, it’s Megan. I wouldn’t expect anything less.”

Chapter 47
“It makes me feel like the news is is for you, though,” Lyn snorts.
“What? What have I got to do with it?”
Lyn shrugs. “She wants to make sure that you get wind of the news, knowing that you’re Kayden’s ex-wh, wait. You were Kayden’s SECRET ex-wife. With her, she wants to make sure the entire country knows she will be the ture Mrs. Steele.
“Whatever. They deserve each other anyway.”
When I was married to Kayden, I had been a diligent wife. And I know, even if he doesn’t say anything cook for him. He picks up the suits and outfits I prepare for him. No complaints. And for Kayden, tha a compliment. I am not sure how it will be for Megan. That woman could not tell the difference betwembad knife and a paring knife.

“Let’s just focus on King’s Legend. I just want to do it and get it over with.” I turn to Ethan. “When’s your flight?”
“In an hour,” he replies. “I’m sorry I couldn’t be there with you. But just do what we practiced last night for your presentation, and I’m sure you’ll do great.”
I nod. “Thank you.”
Ethan’s driver drops us off in front of King’s Legend before they head to the airport.
“You got this,” Ethan smiles at me as we stand in front of King’s Court entrance.
Are you sure you cannot stay?” I ask him. “I can use one more friendly face there.”
“I planned to attend. But my deal in Manhattan is taking a turn for the worse.”
I sigh. “Okay, I’ll call you later.”
He leans forward and kisses my forehead. “See you later.
I wave him off and then Lyn and I walk towards the lobby.
“Nervous?” Lyn asks.
“I’ve done about a hundred presentations, but you know this is the biggest one yet. And today, I’m n
roomful of people that my designs will be world-class and it will be a lucrative investment, I will be convincing a

rich, hostile board members that my grandfather’s mistake is not the end of King’s Legend, and that terminating this project will do more damage than good.”
“Don’t worry. Once you show them the picture of the new location, they will realize that it’s going to be paradise.”
As we walk towards the lobby, I see a person I did not expect to see today.
“Well, well. If this isn’t the hero of the day,” Megan says sarcastically.
“I didn’t know you’ll be here, Megan.”
“I’m a member of the board. Why wouldn’t I be here?”
“Well, because we thought only members with substantial shares and voting rights are going to be here,” Lyn says with a phony smile on her face.

Megan glares at her and they she turns to me. “Control your servant maid, will you?”
“She’s not my servant maid. Lyn is a very competent and integral part of our organization. She has very high credentials. A master’s degree is Yale, might I say. That is a lot more than you’ve accomplished academically.”
“Whatever!” she rolls her eyes.
“Well, I can be here because you know that apart from being a sharehold
in my own right, I am also gut to be the future
wife if one of the major shareholders of this company.”
I give her an innocent look. “Really?”
“Haven’t you heard of my engagement with Kayden?”
“Oh, I might have heard of that. But I am so busy with a lot of more important things that I hardly pay tion menial things these days.”
“It’s all over the news!”
“Is that what reporters call newsworthy these days?”
“Everybody is talking about it!” She pouts.
“I doubt it’s everybody. But those who are talking about it probably have nothing better to do.”
“Are you saying that my engagement to Kayden is nothing of importance?” She starts raising her v in our direction.
“Calm down, Miss Brown,” I say in a soft voice. “I’m sure it’s good news to you and some people. Why is *** – important to you? Do you really think your engagement to Kayden affects me in any way?”
“Does it?” a voice says behind me.
I turn around and find Kayden standing behind me.
I have not seen him in almost a month. He looks as dashing, as handsome as ever. And it seems t fully back to health.

He takes a step
step towards me,
the look on his face is fathomless.
“Kay… I mean… Mister Steele.” I nod at him.
He stands close to me… too close it makes me swallow.
“Does it, Cassie?” he whispers in a low voice. I can trace something in his voice. Something I cannot quite place. Is it hope? Or hopelessness?
I look up at him and he’s looking at me deeply. His eyes looks a bit pleading, a bit accusing.
I clear my throat and take a step back.
Again, I put on that fake smile on my face. “No, Kayden. It doesn’t affect me at all!”
Then I turn on my heel and walk away.
