Shattered Illusions: Love, Lies, and Redemption

Chapter 891

Remington was still in his office, munching on his lunch, when he got the WhatsApp message from Timothy.

But unlike the simple meal he had snapped a photo of for Lizetta, off-camera, his table was laden with more elaborate dishes.

Served on fine dinnerware, these made the cafeteria meal beside them look even more bland and uninspiring.

Remington was under the weather, and Cedric, being the do-it-all assistant that he was, wouldn't let his boss settle for a mere staff lunch.

He had ordered a light and nutritious meal from a boutique kitchen to help his boss recover.

But when Cedric proudly placed the gourmet meal on the table, Remington asked him to fetch a cafeteria meal instead.

Cedric initially thought the boss had prepared it for him, only to realize it was all for a photo op.

Cedric couldn't help feeling a bit used.

"Do you think Liz will reply and show some concern when she sees the photo?"

Remington was idly flipping through his phone, legs crossed, fingers swiftly scrolling the screen.

He remembered how Lizetta had shown such concern when Zora sent her a photo of Thaddeus's sick meal, even going as far as adjusting the meal plan and sending it back.

Back when Lizetta worked at the Starlight Group, she used to look after his meals personally.
