Hearing that, Melon promptly set his gadget aside and raced to the kitchen.

Back in her room, Sadie grappled with her rising annoyance, unable to get through.

Holden wasn't one to keep women close, and anyone who dared come near was often kept at bay by his men.

So, who was this person saved under the affectionate name "Baby"? A wild thought crossed her mind.

Could it be... Ariana?

The notion struck Sadie, making her second-guess herself.

There's no way Ariana, especially now with Holden's commitment to Sadie, would act so brazenly.

So, who could this be?

Frustrated, Sadie stared at her phone screen, biting her lip.

She resolved to try that number again.

This time, she decided to use Holden's phone.

Distracted by her thoughts, she exited her room and ran into Devin, who was leaving Holden's study with the empty glass she had earlier filled.

She assumed Holden had consumed the juice she had brought.

Once Devin disappeared from sight, she texted Zayden, "Mission accomplished."

Zayden's response came quick.

"Well done. Meet me tonight at ISB mansion, 6th floor, private room.”

Her eyebrows knitting together, Sadie replied, “What are you planning now?"

To her astonishment, Zayden responded, “Isn't today your birthday? Just thought I'd celebrate it for you."

His response only deepened Sadie's frown.

Zayden's words seemed out of place.
