Hearing her footsteps waning away, Shane finally turned around. His hands in his pockets tightened in a grip as he watched her walked away.

Silas, who had been watching them for quite some time, came over and sighed. “Mr. Shane, why don’t you just be honest with Ms. Smith? It’s obvious that she likes you as well. I don’t see why you two can’t get together. You’ve already broken off your engagement with Ms. Jasmine anyway.”

Shane pursed his lips as he squinted his eyes. “It’s not time yet. I won’t get together with her until I find out who’s the person who’s trying to harm her. I’ll only put her in danger if I act rashly now. I’ll come clean with her after I catch that culprit.”
