The sudden noise startled everyone. Georgina nearly dropped her clipboard, Hyun snapped his head up in irritation, and even Dean, who had been lounging in his chair like he owned the place, raised an eyebrow.
But my stomach dropped.
Because striding into the studio, completely unannounced and without a shred of shame, were Haley and Helen.

The staff hesitated, looking between me and the two women who had just barged in like they owned the place. And I knew exactly why no one dared to stop them.
They were family.
At least, that's what everyone thought.
Haley, with her perfectly styled hair and smug smile, sauntered in as if she belonged here. Helen followed close behind, her eyes already scanning the studio with a knowing, calculating look.
