Xavier wanted to see Lily and had Timothy call her. Lily wondered if he had expected her to just obediently go
over. He probably still thought of her as the sLily who used to have eyes only for him and revolved her world
around him. "It's about the competition." Timothy said hurriedly.
He spared no effort to convince Lily to go over, as Xavier was indeed waiting for her. Timothy wasn't sure what
Xavier's reason was for wanting to see her. Nordul he know what had happened in the competition.
Lily thought for a moment, and her mind grew calmer and clearer. She was silent for a while before replying to
Timothy, "Okay, I'll head over now. Let him wait

"Mrs Fulton said she will cover now, and she asked for you to wait a while." Timothy said.
Xavier removed his gold-rimmed glasses and pinched the bridge of his nose. He looked tired.

Although the confinement at the hotel had only been a day and a night, Xavier hadn't slept since he pulled an
all-nighter at work last night. He looked at his wristwatch and estimated that he should be able to finish up his
last document before Lily arrived,
"How did Mrs. Fulton's competition go, Mr. Fulton?" Timothy recalled his conversation with Lily and felt something

"You can go hfirst," Xavier said to Timothy
Timothy tell a faint feeling of unease creep into his chest. With Xavier's attitude, it would seem he was going to
try to control Lily again. However, judging by Lily's tone, it didn't appear she would allow herself to be
manipulated. Timothy suspected they were mostly going to argue. It was best to disappear first.
Xavier went into the bathroom to have a shower. He then changed into a clean, crisp suit, looking refreshed and
confident. He returned to his desk and worked on
his documents while he waited for Lily
In less than five minutes, Terence returned to pick Lily up
Lily reached out and grabbed Terence's am through her woolen coat for support as she stood up. They then left
the restaurant together.

were few people on the street, and both of them
walked very close together.
It one looked closely, it was clear that either of them maintained a polite distance from each other. From a

had booked two rooms under his name, one for Lily and Maryanne.
Maryanne was already fast asleep. Lily splashed cold water on her face after she entered the room and felt a lot
more sober.
"Callif there's anything I'm just next door," Terence said. He picked up the coat Lily had dropped and hung it

Her fair skin glistened as water droplets slid down from her cheeks to her chin. Several strands of dark hair clung
to her rosy cheeks, giving her a delicate and enticing look
to go to work."
Lily sat down on the couch and said, "If | don't get up tomorrow moming, please knock on my door and remind
She had set an alarm, but she wasn't sure how strong the aftereffects of the alcohol would be. It would be a
disaster if she didn't bear it.
"Do you want to rest for two days?" Terence suggested
"Nope." Lily shook her head. "I'll be fine."
Terence poured a glass of water and placed it in front of her. "You have a good rest then.
