Faye Vaughn tilted her head, her eyes curving into a smile as she asked in return, "How much does Mr. Shelby plan to give me?"
Zane Shelby raised an eyebrow, his gaze defiant. He sized her up as if appraising goods. "That depends on whether you're worth the price."
Faye's smile grew even sweeter. "Tell me, what does Mr. Shelby need me to do?"
'There's no such thing as a free lunch.'
'Zane Shelby didn't seem to have any romantic interest in her. His heart belonged to the deeply loved Miss Chase.'
'So he must have another plan, and it might even be something very dangerous.'
Zane Shelby didn't beat around the bush, stating directly, "I want you to come with me to Stellaport and join my lab."
Faye's eyes filled with curiosity. "What kind of lab? I don't know anything about that. What could I do for you?"
Before Zane Shelby could answer, Faye suddenly felt a hand tighten around her waist as Wyatt Hawthorne grabbed her and pulled her into his arms.
