307 Slap in the Face

After she sent Howard and his mother away, Keira calmed down a lot.

She looked at Lewis, feeling somewhat of a headache.

The hug just now had nearly revealed her identity… Now, even if she denied it, Lewis wouldn’t believe her.

But what if she admitted it?

They still couldn’t be together…

As she was deep in thought, Mary’s voice came from outside. “Keera, Keera! I’m here to keep you company!”

With those words, Mary burst energetically through

the door.

Upon seeing Lewis, she was momentarily taken aback “Who’s this?”

Her gaze fixated on his face, examining it for a long time before she finally spoke with confusion. “You look… so familiar?”

Seeing this, Keira quickly said, “Mr. Horton, if you

Leaving these words behind, he strode away with his assistants and bodyguards in tow.

After everyone had left, Mary teased Keira with a win “Keera, who was that guy? Is he interested in you? But he sure pronounces your name strangely…”

Of course, it was strange.

He was calling her Keira, not Keera.

Keira complained inwardly and asked, “What are you

here for?”
