Even though the five of them were a small group, Dawn’s crush on Austin was only known to Anna.
Looking at the messages, Dawn felt a calm, peaceful feeling settle over her. Austin and Sydney -they really were meant to be together. An engagement made perfect sense.
She stared at the screen for a while, then left the chat and removed Austin’s number from the cklist. She hesitated about sending a congrattory message, but the first thing that popped up on her screen was his previous messages.
“Dawn, my patience is limited, so don’t push it too far.
“Are you really trying to pick a fight? Let’s see how stubborn you can be!”
Thetest one was from two days ago–apparently reminding her about her period.
“The 15th ising soon. Don’t eat anything cold. Get chocte and heat packs ready in advance. I don’t wanna see you cry when you’re cramping.”
Dawn froze for a moment, then quickly snapped back to reality. Austin only ever treated her like his niece. This was just an uncle caring for his niece.
She twirled a finger in thought, but in the end, she didn’t reply at all. Instead, she opened the WhatsApp group chat and typed, “Uncle Austin is getting engaged, and you all had better celebrate with me as my good friends!”
With her message, the group chat quickly lit up again.
David had just taken over the family business and coincidentally had some dealings with Osborne Group.
The next day at the meeting, he finally met the legendary “Uncle Austin.”
Coming out of the conference room, David’s father, George Malone, nced at David and whispered, “I saw you staring at Mr. Osborne–did you meet him somewhere before?”
David smiled, dimples showing. “Of course.”
When he saw Austin looking at him, he continued, “I’m a friend of Dawn’s.
“I heard you were getting engaged. Dawn made sure we all congratted you. I wish your future Mrs. Osborne a lifetime of happiness and many kids.”

Austin didn’t respond and furrowed his brows.

George noticed something was off and patted his son. “If Mr. Osborne has good news, it himself. Why are you making a fuss?”

he’ll say
David’s eyes flickered with amusement. “The news is everywhere online. If Mr. Osborne hadn’t approved it, who would dare?”
Of course, someone dared. Sydney.
David saw the sour look on Austin’s face and realized Austin probably didn’t actually know.
Ah, <i>the </i><i>plot </i><i>thickens</i>.
A yful glint appeared in his eyes as he apologized, “Guess it was a gossip ount jumping the gun. My bad for going along. Should’ve waited for you to announce it yourself.”
Austin didn’t take the bait. He asked instead, “Have you been in contact with Dawn?”
“asionally. We’re all pretty busy.”
<i>Of </i><i>course</i><i>. </i><i>By </i><i>now</i><i>, </i><i>Dawn </i><i>has </i><i>started </i>working.
Austin had wanted to ask where she was living, but thinking of how close these people were, he abandoned the idea, not wanting Dawn to know he was concerned and get spoiled again.
Thinking of this, Austin’s expression grew even more indifferent. “You’re still young, so focus on useful things when you gather. Don’t waste time on gossip. It’s meaningless.”
David watched him walk away and snorted to himself.
George nced at him. “What are youughing at?”
David, shameless, sneered, “If it weren’t for Dawn, I wouldn’t waste words on him. Does he really think he’s someone important? He’s just two years older than me, and he’s acting like he can lecture me? Hrious.”
George quickly looked ahead. Luckily, Austin had gone far enough to not hear.
“You little brat! When you’re out there, know what’s appropriate to say and what’s not. Keep it
in check!”
David’s hands were in his pockets, chin tilted up. “So what? If he’s capable, he won’t need to
work with us.<b>” </b>

Even if Austin had heard, it wouldn’t have mattered. Apart from the Malones, he didn’t really have a better option.
David really couldn’t stand these pretentious men.
<i>No </i><i>wonder </i><i>Dawn </i><i>left </i><i>him</i>.
After going downstairs, Austin got into his car and called Sydney.
Sydney was at a nearby beauty salon getting a facial. Seeing his call, she waved to the esthetician to pause and smiled as she answered, “Austin, are you done with work?”
Her soft voice over the line eased some of Austin’s irritation. He responded, “Where are you? I’lle pick you up.”
“I’ll send you the location!”
Sydney hung up and pulled off the facial mask.
“Ms. Peay, it’s not time yet …”
“I don’t have time for this.”
Sydney sat up, sent the address, and cheerfully said, “My boyfriend’sing to pick me up. can’t make him wait. Hurry up and wash up, and I’ll top up my credit with you.”
