Calvin pointed ahead I came with my mom she s just upfront
Patricia turned to Halsey Why don t you chat with Calvin for a bit I ll go say hito Mrs Johnson
Halseynodded.”Okay.”
After Patricia walked away Calvin walked toward Halsey and looked at her with concern You seem to have lost weight Has something been bothering you lately
Halseyshookherhead.”No.Idon’tthinkI’velostweight.IfeellikeI’veactually gainedsome.”
Calvin smiled gently Beauty itself doth of itself persuade the eyes of men without an orator
This made Halsey genuinely smile Calvin was the most learned in their social circle now the youngest professor at an Ivy League school His speech was always refined and poetic
Thanks for the compliment she said
Just then Halsey noticed a bookshelf nearby On it rested a book one authored by Calvin himself
Is this your published book
He nodded Yes but it s about archaeology You might not be interested
I ll take a look anyway Halsey said
She reached up for the book

Halsey smiled Thankyou
Just then she felt a sharp gaze on her face Looking up toward the entrance of the private restaurant she spotted at all striking figure
ItwasShaun.
Hehadcomehere,too.
Shaun wore a black shirt and matching black pants the classic look of a powerful CEO He was like a walking fashion statement drawing attention wherever he went The black hollow mask covering part of his face made him appear mysterious and low key but impossible to ignore
Halsey had no idea when he arrived Now he stood by the door his cold clear eyes fixed on her and Calvin
Her heart skipped a beat

They surrounded him guiding him forward
The hallway was narrow As they moved closer Calvin quickly grabbed Halsey s arm Be careful Don t get knocked over
