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.

Why would it feel out of place when we’re living the high life? 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 a magnificent house.
