Intrigued, Lydia chimed in.
“For a two-hundred-square-meter place in Autumngami Cove? That cheap? Did someone die there or something?”
At the sound of the voice on the other end, Brayden’s lips twitched.
“Miss Moore, don’t mind her. The house is new and completely accident -free. You have my word.”
“Look, you don’t need to cut me a special deal just because I know Mr. Mitchell.”
“I’m not. The house would be vacant anyway. Might as well rent it to someone I know.”
After hanging up, Hannah exhaled deeply.
“Come on, Lydia. Dinner’s on me.”
Curious, Lydia tugged on Hannah’s arm.
“So? Who was that?”

“If I offered, she’d probably decline.”
Brayden gave Bryson a sly smile.
“You’re right. Miss Moore made it clear she didn’t want favors because of you. Seems like she wants to keep her distance.”
Staring Brayden, Bryson said nothing.
Feeling a shiver, Brayden quickly added, “She… She must not want to inconvenience you, that’s all.”
“Why are you just sitting there?” Bryson’s eyes remained focused on his computer screen as his fingers danced across the keyboard.
“I need that proposal on my desk by Monday.”
“But it’s already Sunday, Bryson. You’re really putting the squeeze on me,” Brayden protested.
“Fine,” Bryson responded, casting a blank look toward Brayden.
“I’ll delegate the project to a different firm.”
Brayden immediately rose to his feet, grinning.
“You’ll have the proposal at precisely 9 AM tomorrow!”
