You Introduce Yourself...

"I know CR Corporation has been expanding fast. But don't underestimate us. Aurora is with our firm and just won a top design award. That alone speaks volumes about our talent," Dolores said with quiet pride.

Collin gave a small nod. "I'm well aware. Aurora's talent is unmatched. That's exactly why I'm eager to work with Davidson Group. I believe we'll achieve great things together."

As they began to talk business, Haven had no choice but to settle into the extra chair Collin had requested.

She didn't want to sit there, but staying on her feet would only draw more attention. She wasn't about to let that happen-not with so many eyes watching.

Dustin finally let out a silent sigh of relief. The tension in the air had eased a little. He glanced over at Collin and Linsey, who now sat across from each other, both calm and composed.

He couldn't help but feel surprised. Four years ago, things between them had ended so badly that even as a bystander, he thought they would never be in the same room again-let alone sharing a table. But here they

Dolores gave a knowing smile. "Mr. Riley and Ms. Walton seem quite close."

Haven's lips curled into a sweet smile. She was ready to agree, but Collin cut in before she could speak. "My grandmother is close with the Waltons. She asked me to help show Haven around."

His tone was even, but there was no mistaking the message. Then he glanced at Linsey.

Her face remained steady and unreadable-as if none of it concerned her.

That flicker of indifference hit Collin hard. A shadow passed through his eyes. There was a trace of bitterness in

his smile.

He wanted to explain more, but Haven's presence held him back

If she caught on, she might lash out later when he wasn't there to protect Linsey, After everything that happened four years ago, Collin couldn't afford to take that risk

So he didn't reveal Linsey's identity as Aurora. He didn't even say her nar

Haven fell silent. Her smile stiffened as she realized what had just happened- Collin was distancing himself

from her right in front of everyone.

The sting of it was sharp and humiliating.

Just earlier, even Dolores had assumed she was Collin's girlfriend.
