“Ms. Sutton, shall we head upstairs? Mr. Lane is still in a meeting, the receptionist said.
Chelsea waved her off. “I’ll go up on my own. By the way, Shaun’s Been really busy lately, so you shouldn’t bother him with small matters–like the woman who just came looking for him. No need to tell Shaun about that.”
The receptionist nodded quickly. “Got it, Ms. Sutton.”
Chelsea pulled a new lipstick from her bag. “I just bought this shade. I thought it would look good on you–consider it a gift.”
The receptionist’s eyes lit up as she gratefully accepted it. “Thank you! If you ever need anything, just let me know.”
Chelsea smiled, lips curling slightly.

Halsey answered, “I went to see Shaun.”
“What did he say?”
“I didn’t get to see him. He doesn’t want to see me.”

Cyril and Patricia were Madeline’s godparents. With only Halsey as their daughter, they doted on Madeline like she was their
Own
Madeline glanced around. “Where’s Halsey?”
“She went out.”
“Where did she go?”
Usually, whenever Madeline came home, Halsey would be there waiting for her, taking care of every little thing.
Patricia hesitated, then said, “There’s something I’m not sure if I should tell you.”

Madeline looked up earnestly. “I’m grown now. If it has something to do with me, you have to tell me.”
Patricia gave in. “Your brother’s back.”
Madeline froze, then her face lit up with joy. “Really?! Dwight’s back?”
Patricia nodded. “Yes. He’s now Shaun Lane, the founder of GM Tech- have one more person to love and protect you.”
Tears welled in Madeline’s eyes. “So my brother is back! Halsey must be

Is she going to meet him?”
Madeline was shocked. “But they love each other so much! How could they be done? right now!”
Without another word, Madeline turned and ran off.
