"Let her in," Collin said.

"Understood."

Moments later, Haven glided through the doorway, an exquisite lunch box

cradled in her hands. Her eyes widened with genuine surprise at the unexpected presence. "I hadn't anticipated finding you here as well, Mr. Wade. Had I known, I would have prepared additional refreshments.”

Dustin arched a single eyebrow, his response deliberately casual. “Think nothing of it, Ms. Walton."

Without a flicker of surprise, Collin cast a calm look in Haven's direction. "What are you doing here?"

With practiced elegance, Haven set the lacquered lunch box on the table, slowly lifting the lid to reveal a neat arrangement of pastries. "You've been working nonstop. I figured you could use something sweet to take the edge off."

His fingers reached for a nearby document, flipping it open. "That's thoughtful of you, but you should be spending more time with your family."

Her invitation sparked a subtle shift in the expressions of both Collin and Dustin, just enough to be noticeable.

Then, as if dropping the final card, she smiled and added, "Oh, and the fiancée's name is Linsey Brooks. You know her, don't you?"

At this point, Haven was already clear on who Linsey really was. Still, when speaking to Collin, she chose to play innocent, acting as though she was unaware of Linsey's past. In this way, if something happened to Linsey later, Collin wouldn't immediately tie it back to her.

The moment Haven spoke her name,

Collin's eyes darkened emotionm

It was also clear to him that Gorman
