did, she started to loathe the fact that she came from a rich family.  She didn’t want to be known as the spoiled rich girl.  She knew from a very young age that she wasn’t going to rely on her parent’s money.  She was going to make her way in the world on her own and with her own money.  She kind of feels like she is breaking the promise she made to herself all those years ago, but at the same time she is relieved that they are giving her the money.  She makes a vow to herself that if the restaurant is able to survive, she is going to pay back every single cent to her parents. 
                  “So, I take it the conversation went well?” Kyle asks when she comes out of the bedroom into the living room. 
                  “It did.  They’re going to give me the money.”
                  “That’s good news.”
                  “It is.”
                  “Hey, I’ve been meaning to ask you about this Ethan Saint guy.  What do you know about him?  Can you trust the guy?”
                  “You know me.  I don’t just trust someone because they say to.  I looked him up and he’s legit.  He’s not a phony or a fraud.  He’s saves businesses and he’s really good at it.  I even called some of the business owners on the website that he’s claimed to have saved and they have nothing but glowing things to say about him.  He saved their businesses and they are still thriving to this day.  He apparently really knows what he’s doing.”
                  “Well, if you trust him.”
                  “The tone of your voice makes me think that you think I shouldn’t trust him?”
                  “There are scammers out there.  All I’m saying is be careful.”
                  “I will be.  Don’t worry.”
                  “Good.”
                  Haillee looks at Kyle.  She is not sure whether he is just looking out for her or if he’s jealous because she is going to be working so closely with another man.  She chuckles to herself because if Kyle is jealous now, he’s really going to be jealous when he sees how amazingly gorgeous Ethan is.  Ethan is the epitome of tall, dark and handsome.  Not only is he good-looking, but he’s got brains as well.  Good-looking and intelligent - the guys is definitely blessed.  Ethan is definitely a good-looking guy and he may be smart, but he’s not on her radar.  She only has eyes for Kyle.

                  Ethan and Haillee sit in the dining room.  It is their first meeting.  She is little bit anxious and nervous about what is to come.  The seriousness of what is to happen and how much she has riding on the outcome of Ethan’s work scares her to death.  She is absolutely terrified to let Ethan take the reins while she steps back and lets him do his magic.  She is a control freak and letting go is a huge step for her.  Being passive is not something that she does easily.  She is aggressive.  She has an alpha type personality.
                  “Well, here we are,” Ethan says, pulling out the chair for her to sit down.
                  “Here we are,” she says, a tremble audible in her voice.  She kicks herself for displaying her nervousness.
                  “I was really glad when I received your call and you told me that you were going to take me up on my offer.  I was surprised, actually.”
                  “Why is that?”
                  “Don’t take this the wrong way, Haillee, but I’ve seen your type before.”
                  “And what type is that?”
                  “The type that will not give up on something that they have created, even if the outcome doesn’t look good.  It’s not necessarily a bad quality, but I saw the
