Chapter 30 Richard - The Commandments

• “Heartiest congratulations to you, Sir,” one of the guys working at the supplement department in Delmonte Magazine said as he extended his hand for a handshake. I took it, wracking my brain as I tried to place the name. Hunter, I think? “When Estel and I got the invite, we instantly guessed it'd be something like this, but for some reason we felt it'll be Sarah and you. I always thought you two were seeing each other secretly or something, but it all makes sense now. You were simply being a gentleman. Creating a strong bond with your future sister-in-law.”
• My heart clenched painfully at the thought of Sarah being my sister-in-law. He was right, that was exactly what she was now. I exhaled, forcing a smile on my face. Elena tensed up beside me. I shrugged as I said, “The Williams and the Delmontes have always been more than just business associates. We're much closer than that.” I had nothing else to say to him.
• He nodded in agreement, his gaze moving over to Elena, and I cringed inwardly when he grinned. “I guess this explains why your dating life is a tightly-knitted secret. You were secretly seeing Richard and didn't want the paparazzi to find out. Brilliant.”
