“ When you play , keep your posture tall and steady . Aim straight ahead , gather strength in your arms , and swing with purpose . As long as you stay focused and head toward the goal you want , you’ll succeed . ”
His tone was gentle and patient , like a dedicated teacher guiding her through each step .
Halsey’s thoughts drifted to Dwight , and she said quietly , “ You keep reminding me of someone . ”
“ Who ? ” Shaun asked .
Halsey didn’t answer .
Shaun lowered his gaze , studying her . “ Why aren’t you answering Is it your ex ? ”
Halsey nodded . “ Yeah . ”
“ Do you still keep in touch ? ”
She gave a bitter smile . “ We haven’t talked in three years . ”
“ Why do you think of him now ? Do you still have feelings for him ?
Shaun asked directly if she still had feelings for Dwight .
Halsey looked up at Shaun . “ Thank you for the lesson . I think I’ve got it . ”
She cut the conversation short , as she didn’t want to go down that road anymore .
Shaun released his hold on her and took a step back . “ Good luck . ”
Halsey held the golf club , quietly trying to absorb what he’d taught her . Suddenly , she felt a dark , heavy gaze landing on her again . She looked up – and it was Gilbert .
Gilbert seemed like a voyeur , constantly spying on her and Shaun .
Just moments ago , she had been helping Shaun with his jacket , and now he was holding her from behind , teaching her how to swing . Gilbert’s face was ashen with rage .
Halsey ignored him .
William spoke up , “ Go ahead , Ms. Mallin . It’s your turn . ”
Halsey smiled lightly . “ Okay . I’ll try my best . ”
She stood tall , lined up her shot , and aimed carefully at the hole . Following Shaun’s advice , she gathered strength in her arms and swung with precision and power .
Thud !
The golf ball landed perfectly in the hole .
Halsey jumped , thrilled . “ I won ! I actually won ! ”
She ran over to Shaun and wrapped him in a tight hug . “ Did you see that ? I made the shot ! We’re up two to one — we won ! ”
Her eyes sparkled with joy as she smiled brightly . Shaun looked at her with gentle warmth . “ You’re amazing . ” William chuckled . “ You won fair and square . Looks like I lost . Shaun , you sure know how to pick them . ”
He gave Shaun a thumbs – up .

Realizing , she had just hugged Shaun on her own , Halsey quickly pulled away , a little embarrassed , and smiled shyly at him .
Shaun returned her smile with tenderness .
Just then , Gilbert approached . “ Looks like I underestimated you – you actually won .
”
Halsey raised an eyebrow . “ Hard work pays off . I’ve always believed that if you put in the effort , you’ll see results . ”
Gilbert’s expression darkened .
“ Alright , since you won , as agreed , I’ll treat you both to dinner , ” William said .
Halsey’s heart leapt . Finally , the most exciting part was here! There was still a chance for Lincoln Enterprise .
She was determined to save the company .
Shaun smirked . “ Looks like you’ll be spending tonight . ”
“ No problem . We should freshen up first . ”
“ Sounds good . ”
Because Shaun and Halsey were a couple , they were assigned to share a room .
Halsey glanced around the room , feeling a bit embarrassed . “ Mr. Lane , are you sure we should freshen up in the same room? ”
