Hearing this, Eric’s eyes flew open.

His three whole hours were free.

He sprang to his feet. “Tell the driver to bring the car around.”

Phillips stared at him in surprise. “Where are you headed?”

“Tidebourne,” Eric answered, already striding out of the office.

Everyone scrambled to keep up as they made their way to the car.

Since Tidebourne was right next to Srixby, the drive would only take about an hour if traffic was smooth.

“Let’s get there quickly.” From the back seat, Eric leaned forward.

He couldn’t stand being apart from Hadley.

Now that she lived at Olisvale Bay with him, he had grown used to seeing her every day and even sharing a bed every night.

The thought of spending even one day apart felt unbearable.

While Eric was on the road, Phillips got in touch with Tamara.

The moment the car rolled into Tidebourne, they headed straight for the brand’s event.

Meanwhile, in the dressing room, Hadley had just finished getting her makeup done.

“Miss Pearson.” Tamara stepped over quietly and leaned in to whisper, “Mr. Scott is here.”

“What?” Hadley’s eyes widened. “Did he say why he’s here?”

Tamara shook her head. “No. Mr. Brown only mentioned that he’s waiting outside.” N?w ?ovel chapt?rs are published on find~novel~net

“I see.”

Without more details, Hadley could only move on.

“Hadley!” Just then, Chelsey poked her head in. “They said you’re up. You can go out now.”

“Okay.”

Hadley nodded, picked up her skirt, and got to her feet. With Tamara and Chelsey flanking her, she left the dressing room.

Two bodyguards joined them at the doorway.

Their little group made its way down a long hallway. On one side, glass panels stretched from floor to ceiling, offering a clear view of the excited fans outside.

“There she is—it’s Hadley!”

“Hadley! This way!”

“She looks even more stunning than on TV!”

Hadley greeted them with soft smiles, waving now and then as they walked.

In the middle of the crowd, she suddenly spotted Eric—tall and impossible to miss. He had just stepped out of the car, ready to enter, but a wall of fans blocked his path.

Phillips and the security team tried to clear a way for him. “Coming through, please…”
