Ewan clenched his fist. "Hailey, Declan put a spell on you, didn't he?"

"That's none of your business," retorted Hailey.

Placing his hands on his hips, Ewan let out a frustrated laugh. "Fine. Then my business is none of yours! I'm going to look for Declan now."

With that, Ewan turned and walked toward Declan's workplace. Hailey's expression changed instantly, and she instinctively grabbed his arm. "What are you doing? This is someone else's workplace. What makes you think you can go in and disturb the workers?"

Just then, the head contractor of the construction site came running breathlessly. He greeted them respectfully. "Mr. Ewan, what brings you here? This is a dirty and messy place. Please be careful not to dirty your clothes. Are you here to observe the site today?"

Hailey was stunned. Glancing at her, Ewan smirked. "Oh, I forgot to tell you. This is one of my family's buildings. That makes this construction site my family's. Surely there's no problem for me to observe the work?"

It had slipped Hailey's mind that the Shaws were in the property business. Coincidentally, Declan was working on Shaw property.

Turning to the head contractor, Ewan said, "I heard there's a worker named Declan Zamora here. Is that true?"

The head contractor answered affirmatively.

"Get him over here," Ewan demanded.

The head contractor shouted, "Declan, come over here!"

Declan put down his bag of cement and looked up to see Ewan and Hailey. The construction site was filled with contractors; a Ferrari would be conspicuous, and a well-dressed, good-looking duo like Ewan and Hailey was easily spotted.

Declan wore his usual cold, indifferent expression as he strode over. Smiling, the head contractor said, "Mr. Ewan, this is Declan. He might be young, but he's a tough worker. He can do all sorts of work."

Glancing at Declan, Ewan said, "What a coincidence, Declan. I didn't think you'd be working at my family's construction site."

Eyeing Ewan expressionlessly, Declan asked, "Is there anything you need? I'll get going if there's nothing else."

Hailey said hurriedly, "We're good, Declan. You should get back to work." She wanted to pull Ewan away.

But to her dismay, Ewan smiled and said, "Declan, how many cement bags can you lift in one go?"

The head contractor answered, "Mr. Ewan, Declan can lift eight in one go. Our strongest worker here can only lift five."

"How about this, Declan? If you can lift one more, I'll give you one thousand dollars. If you can lift two more, you'll get two thousand. I've got lots of money. So let's see how many you can lift."

Stunned, the head contractor said, "Mr. Ewan, that's not a good idea. Eight bags of cement are already very heavy. It's dangerous to add more."

Ewan grinned at Declan. "You want to make money, don't you? Well, I'm giving you an opportunity."

Hailey's expression turned grim. "Ewan, are you done messing around? Do you need to do this just because you feel superior?"

Glaring at Hailey, Ewan rebuked, "I'm not forcing him. I'm just offering my money in exchange for some fun, and Declan wants to make some money."

With that, Ewan turned to Declan. "Alright?"

Hailey wanted to stop it. "Declan, don't listen to him."

However, as soon as she finished speaking, Declan said, "Sure."

Declan's reply left Hailey stunned. Meanwhile, the head contractor brought a stool for Ewan to sit on while he watched Declan take up the challenge.
