“Lily…”

Wayne Hunter had come to the CEO’s office to give his report.

Most employees at Jones Corp had no idea about Lily and John’s relationship.

But Wayne, trusted by John for years, knew everything.

Seeing Lily, he instinctively greeted her–only to catch sight of what was happening inside the office.

He froze, horrified.

Then quickly slapped a hand over his mouth.

He looked at Lily, his eyes full of awkwardness and sympathy.

“Elsa, I’m sorry.”

John had been momentarily distracted, stunned for a good ten seconds before he quickly pulled away from Elsa.

“I’m not blaming you,” Elsa said coyly, cheeks flushed. “My shoelace came undone.”

Hearing that, Lily’s dull gaze dropped to Elsa’s shoes.

Elsa was stunning.

Bright, bold, beautiful in an almost aggressive way.

Today, she wore crisp designer white sneakers, paired with a white blouse and a pleated pink skirt. Youthful and radiant, she looked exactly like a campus sweetheart.

John didn’t say anything.

But his actions spoke louder.

He gently lifted Elsa onto the desk, then knelt to tie her shoelace. His movements were so careful, they almost looked reverent.
