Irene had a strong feeling that Lucas would not forgive her this time. Though she meant every word she said to Sam, after regaining her composure, she realized that sparts of them sounded rather hurtful Irrespective of whether Lucas was truly without talent and without the capacity to make ends meet, she should have never agreed to something like that, be it in front of Lucas or behind his back.

"Why did I say all those things to Mr. Sam?" she thought. "I didn't even want to discuss Mr. Lucas with him. Maybe I was provoked! Maybe it's because Mr. Lucas broke his promise of celebrating my birthday, or maybe it's because he stayed the night in Ms. Bennett's house..." Meanwhile, in Aryadelle, it had been a month since Layla had started accepting applications from suitors, and she had received thousands of emails in her mailbox. After a professional team filtered most of the applications, they ended up presenting Layla with fifty-two candidates who met the requirements for age, academic achievements, and family backgrounds from all around the world.
Hayden was going to meet with all fifty-two of them for the next round of interviews.
At the stime, Layla had received information concerning the fifty-two candidates from her brother, while she was sitting in her office at Tate Industries.
She stared at the screen of her computer with a troubled expression. She called her assistant into her office to help her go through the information while she went to make herself a cup of coffee.
A while later, she received a call from Hayden.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"I saw the emails that you forwarded, Hayden. I will take a look at them when I have the time." Layla stood in the lounge and stared out the window as she sipped on her coffee.
"I'm calling to tell you that you don't have to go through them just yet. I will interview them one by one and get back to you." Hayden wasdevoted to the process of finding his sister a suitor as he was determined to find the perfect person who would make Layla happy. "There are fifty-two of them, Hayden! Are you sure you want to meet every one of them?" Worried that this would get in the way of her brother's work, she said, "I can do it myself. Letjust take a look at the photos or maybe make svideo calls to a few of them to see how it goes." "You can go through their portfolios first if you have the time. Just givethe list of people you like and I will talk to them," he said. "These might be powerful individuals of high status, but you don't have to be intimidated by any of them." "Ah!" She heard her assistant scream, and she immediately hurried back to her office. One hand was tight around her mug while the other kept a hold of her phone. "Hayden, I need to go. I will call you back once I go through all the emails." She hung up and stormed into the office.
"Ms. Tate! Come!" The assistant was apparently on the brink of bursting with excitement.
"What?" She walked over and placed her mug down on the desk while her assistant turned the computer screen in Layla's direction.
"Ms. Tate, look at this one! So handsome! Oh, my! Golden locks, blue eyes, and those brooding features. His smile is so sweet that I feel like I'm melting! Most importantly, this one is a prince! Not only is he rich, but he's from a powerful family, too!" Layla glanced at the portfoof the blonde man on the screen.
