Starring Sally J. Freedman As Herself Novels & Stories

Just then, the sound of soft footsteps echoed from the doorway. His head snapped up. A familiar figure strolled in—Sally. She wore that same calm, gentle smile as her gaze swept over him, clearly admiring her handiwork. Dean’s expression turned ice-cold. “What the hell are you trying to do?” Sally merely chuckled, her voice as soothing as if she were speaking to a petulant child. “I just wanted us to spend some quality time together.” Dean let out a sharp, humorless laugh. “And this is your idea of ‘quality time’?”

Frederick's voice cracked with anger. Selena smiled, almost amused. "Well, at least there's no fearsome lady in charge of Obsidian Estate. But your household has just that. Why should I hold onto you? Should I just enter your household and suffer?" "You—" A sudden laugh burst from Sally, who had been standing quietly nearby, shocking even herself. "I… I'll bring more tea." Sally hurried off with the teapot, afraid she'd laugh out loud again. Frederick's face twisted with fury and humiliation. "So, from the very start, you never intended to have a proper conversation with me! You deceitful woman!"

Hayley was brave enough to look back and when she saw Jasper she secretly pinch Eleanor while she laughs absurdly. "Jasper!" she exclaimed. "You are done talking to the girls?" "I wasn't talking to them," he said, going to the other side of Eleanor to sit. Hayley swore Eleanor looked like a mannequin right now. "And who is that guy you like?" "W-who?" she stammers, eyeing Hayley to help her. "We were just talking about a show!" Hayley lied and Eleanor nodded to make it convincing. "Eleanor here was acting out-- imitating the female lead on that drama!"

"Mr. Gray, say the word, and I'll wait at home whenever you want… Whatever you want, I'll do it. I'll obey all your orders." Her heart hammered faster and faster. She knew this moment would decide her fate. Ashton reached out, tilted her head up, and studied her face. Then, he took her keys. He supposed having a maid devoted to serving him completely wasn't a bad thing. "Mr. Gray… are you coming over tonight?" Sally shivered, slipping fully into character. Her voice was honeyed as she purred, "I know lots of dances. I can perform for you." "Maybe another time. Go home first and get yourself cleaned up."

"Out, out, out!" He motioned for the guard to show me the door. In the heat of the moment, I lost my footing and rolled down the stairs. They stood above me, looking as imposing as ever. "Dream on about crashing this party without a ticket!" A streamer caught wind of the drama and pointed the camera our way. "Is that Sally? What's she up to now?" [She's not here to grovel to her ex and his family again, is she?] [Tough break for a woman, even tougher for a rich one. She's been deceived and still has to suck it up!]
