bodyguards, he even threw a triumphant wink at them! Once he left, Maia looked at the six or seven bags on the ground and couldn’t help but laugh.

Cedric felt a surge of anger. The slap she gave him seemed to hurt again. Her laughter was because of another man. Could he not be furious?

Maia watched the two bodyguards leave nervously, picked up the bags, and turned to Cedric, her lips curled.
