Chapter 42

An all–too–familiar profile picture and name popped up in the chat group.

He scrolled through the conversation, and his fingers hesitated when he read Stanton had introduced Cordelia as Louie’s good friend

And at this moment, the big shot had spoken for the third time, only to welcome Lia to the group.
