"Mr. Ewan, you must be joking. Following our boss is a promising path. Den has no interest in leaving," the men said.


    Ewan had already heard everything he wanted. He waved his hand dismissively. "Alright. You guys go on. We''ll entertain ourselves."


    "Understood. If you need anything, just say the word."


    "Got it."


    Those men left.


    Ewan turned to Hailey. "Do you know who owns this casino? I heard the boss is


    involved in drug trafficking. And yet, Den is working under him now."


    Hailey''s eyes widened in shock. The owner was a drug lord?


    Did Den know?


    Hailey knew that Den was highly capable. He had countless ways to make money, so why had he chosen this path?


    Ewan chuckled. "See? Den is already mixed up in all of this. He''s on apletely different path from you. You should cut ties with him as soon as possible. There''s no future for you two."


    Hailey clenched her fists. "Ewan, if you have so much free time, why don''t you go find your girlfriend, Melody? My rtionship with Den is none of your business!"


    "Hailey, don''t be so stubborn. I''m just looking out for you."


    "Looking out for me?" Hailey suddenlyughed. "Ewan, I still remember exactly how much you hated me back then-how you cheated on me with Melody. Why the sudden change of heart now?"


    Ewan froze. "I..."


    Hailey''s bright, sharp eyes narrowed suspiciously, focusing her gaze on him. "Ewan, don''t tell me... you''ve developed feelings for me."


    Those words struck a nerve in Ewan, making him tense up. He denied it immediately. "Hailey, are you delusional? How could I ever like you?"


    "Good. That''s exactly how it should be. Ewan, you better not fall for me. Otherwise, I''d lose all respect for you!"


    With that, she turned on her heel and walked away-straight toward Den. "Hailey!"


    Ewan stood frozen in ce, watching her disappear from his sight. He clenched his fists tightly.


    Hailey searched for Den, but the


    casino


    was massive, and since it


    was he


    first time there, she nearly


    got lost while wandering through the halls.


    But she had to find him. There were so many things she needed to ask, so many things she wanted to say.


    Just as she turned a corner in the hallway, she finally spotted him standing not far from her.


    Hailey wanted to approach him, but suddenly, a young woman appeared.


    The young woman was vibrant and


    energeti


    wearing a ck tank.


    top


    and matching shorts. Her figure was


    striking-wild and bold,


    She ran up to Den excitedly and called out, "Den!"


    Hailey stopped in her tracks. She had no idea that another woman had entered Den''s life.


    The young woman beamed at Den. "Den, let''s go out and have some fun today."


    Den looked at her, his face partly shadowed by the dim lighting, making his expression unreadable.


    "I have work."


    The girl pouted yfully. "I already talked


    I to


    my dad. He said you

    Hailey was stunned as realization dawned on her.


    So, this young woman was the boss'' daughter. Her name was Ste Xanders.


    Den replied firmly, "Go by yourself. I have things to do."


    He then turned to leave.


    However, Ste quickly grabbed onto his arm. "Come on, Den. Just keep mepany for a while."


    Den suddenly halted. He had just spotted Hailey standing there, looking at him.
