But how had Enzo figured out what she was up to? Sylvie thought she was being so stealthy, and all along he knew she was trying to sway his decision about selling the estate So much for her secretiveness

But maybe this was better He knehere she stood on the sale Why keep it a secret? If someone vocalized their opposition to the sale, perhaps he’d rethink his decision Not that her opinion was that iht listen to her, if she could do it the right way

“I did not I won fair and square They could have come in here, if they’d wanted”

“Uh-huh” She continued to smile as she shook her head “And your father didn’tin here”

“Hethat went on”
