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.

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.
