The next morning, Nicole spruced herself up before changing into black formal wear. She had a great curvaceous figure, and her tight-fitting suit hugged her voluptuous curves in all the right places, making her look mature and somewhat businesslike from a distance. She waited for Hayden to get up. After they had breakfast together, she told him to stay home and be good; only after that did she leave home in a hurry.

Unbeknownst to her, however, as soon as she left home, Hayden took out his cell phone and dialed Colton’s phone number…

Nicole looked up at the building that towered into the sky. The company deserved its reputation as the leading enterprise in the country. The fact that it could buy such a tall building in downtown Goldwick—an area where property prices were sky-high—as its premises was enough proof of
