Rhysand Lee Golden paid no attention to anyone else in the room.
He turned to Ariel Ocean, his voice gentle as he asked, "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine," Ariel replied, quickly stepping away, not wanting to draw any more attention to herself or implicate him in the mess.
She knew this wasn't his battle to fight.
Rhysand knew her concerns, but he didn't care.
He had control over more than half of the Ocean family's business, and Eric Ocean wasn't foolish enough to cross him.
Even Cassie couldn't do anything to him.
Hailey Ocean's fists clenched, her eyes filled with envy and rage.
She had always assumed Rhysand didn't care about Ariel, but now, it was clear he was protecting her.
L'Oreal's face twisted with frustration.
How could Ariel, just a lowly cousin, have such protection?
And even if L'Oreal wanted to fire Rhysand, she couldn't.
