Shaun’s hands clenched tightly into fists at his sides . Without a word , he stormed over to the table where Halsey and Gilbert were sitting .
“ She’s not eating that ! ” he said sharply .
Hearing his voice , Halsey looked up in surprise . “Shaun ? What are you doing here ? ”
Shaun reached out and grabbed her slender arm , pulling her up from her seat . “ You’re coming with me . ”

Shaun shot him a cold look . “ She’s my girlfriend now . I’m warning you – if you try meeting her behind my back again , I’ll make you regret it ! ”
With that , Shaun took Halsey and walked off .

Finally , he nodded . “ Alright . Let’s work together . ”
Chelsea had no plans to give up on Shaun . She had been in love with him for years – there was no way she would just let Halsey swoop in and ruin everything she had worked for .
Now that Warren had cut her off , her only real option was to team up with Gilbert . He was a strong ally .
Chelsea smiled coolly . “ I look forward to working with you . ”
Shaun pushed Halsey into his luxury car , buckled her in , then hit the gas and drove toward the company .

Both of Shaun’s hands gripped the steering wheel . “ Angry ? No. I’m in a fantastic mood right now . ”
