Chapter 894:
Hadley’s brow creased as she approached.
Lifting her gaze to his, she asked, “What brings you back? Neither Joy nor | have a checkup today.”
“I know,” Eric replied, his smile softening as he swung the car door open. “I've got both your appointments
memorized. Hop in—I’ll drop you at the set.”
“How did you know I'm headed there?” Hadley stayed rooted, her frown deepening. “Have you been digging into
my schedule?” It wouldn't be his first tpulling that stunt.
“Digging?” Eric dodged with a vague shrug. “As the major investor, I'm allowed to peek at the crew’s basic
timeline.”
Hadley smirked at his flimsy cover.
Was that his game? Sinking cash into the project just to track her moves?
A wave of exasperation washed over her. “Eric, haven't | spelled it out for you already?”
“Loud and clear,” he said, lounging against the car with an air of poised charm. “You don’t want me, only my

“Then...” Hadley spread her hands. “What is this about?”

shameless!”

“Guilty as charged,” Eric admitted with a nod, owning it without a flinch. “But what can | do? | want to do this,
and | have to do this. You've knownsince you joined the Flynn fold at fifteen. When I lock onto something, |
don’t let go.”
“Humph.” Hadley shot a glare at his near-perfect face, teeth grinding in irritation. “You've got sguts!”
“Thanks,” Eric said, soaking it in with a grin. “I'll take that as a compliment!”
He lifted an arm, motioning her in. “Time's ticking. Get in, or you'll be late. But don’t worry, if it comes to that, I'll
stroll in with you. No one’s dumb enough to hassle you then...”
“Don’t you dare!”
Hadley’s temper flared—she knew he’d follow through without blinking.
“Alright,” Eric said, smirking. “Get in the car.”
Cornered, Hadley’s delicate brows pinched tight. “Mark my words—you’re not winning this!”
“That's my problem,” he quipped,

He shut the door and drove her to the set.
