False Hope

Sam was curious about Bella and Sean's closeness. He tried to remember if Bella had any family ties to Spencer, but since he worked for her, he had never heard of any.

After thinking for a few more seconds, Sam finally found his answer.

'Damn! How could I forget? They know each other because of Tristan Sinclair, right?' Sam remembered reading in the news that Tristan had a close relationship with Sean Spencer's father.

Sam chuckled inwardly as he smiled at Sean, who had just seen him. He was no longer curious and now felt relaxed, waiting for Sean to join them.

Unlike Sam, Harper still tried to calm her troubled heart. She sat in her chair with her back facing Sean and Dax. She almost regained her composure, but her efforts failed when she heard Leo say that Sean was heading in their direction.

Worried that Sean would think her rude for not following the others waiting for him, Harper forced herself to stand and look in Sean and Dax's direction.
