Chapter 29
Soren watched her quietly. He never expected to hear something like that from the woman who med to that with him
The look in his eyes grew deeper. She had really caught his interest.
Splashes echoed from the pool. Tara was sitting on a lounge chair, yawning. She was drained yesterday, and she had to wake up early today.
She wished she could take a day off and sleep in until noon fast the thought felt heavenly.
When she came back to her senses, she realized that the once noisy pool was now completely silent.

Soren was leaning against the edge of the pool. His narrowed eyes were
“Mr. Farrell?” she said, confused.
Soten slowly lowered his gaze, hiding the heavy desire in his eyes.
“Det me something cold.”
Tara Immediately got up and poured a chilled drink. Then, she handed it to Sogen.
She didn’t know that as Soren drank, his eyes were still resting on her fair, slightly pink feet.

“I bet you’ll be one of them, Tara, Betty whispered, making exaggerated winks at her.
Tara shook her head while laughing. “Definitely not.”
Berry didn’t get it. Tata was reliable—how could it not be her?
Tara smiled mysteriously. “You’ll find out when Mr. Oaldey makes his choice.”
At the next table, Hailey was still chatting with Stella. She was determined to get a spot on this oversbas trip.
She cast a wary glance at Tara, knowing Trience would most likely pick Stella and Tara.
