The Returning Ex

Broker Hayes’ face flushed bright red at Logan’s remonstration. It was precisely because she’d helped Shawn to find a match that she’d been criticized behind her back for a long time. His flaws that’d been brought to light spread like wildfire, and the fact that Lola later married a wealthy man such as Logan made it even more obvious that the match she brokered back then was problematic. For that reason, when she now brokered an introduction and played matchmaker, the people out there didn’t seem to believe her anymore.

Anyhow, she wanted to make money besides making an enviable match that would repair her reputation. As far as an enviable match went, it naturally had to be one with a rich man. She wasn’t acquainted with any one of that sort, nor did she have any connections that’d help her to worm her way into their midst.

However, it was clear as day that Logan didn’t want to give her an opening, merely mocking her to her face.

Aren’t you tired after driving all the way here?”

If a rich man comes to the village and stays here, he might be unused to it, but we’re villagers who went to the city, having good food, resplendent clothes, and
