She just left after one call?
Jason’s eyebrows drew together. “Do you know who called her?”
Kent shook his head. “Sorry, sir. I don’t know.”
“Alright. You can go.”
“Yes, sir.”
Kent turned and left.
Jason stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, his tall frame tense. He loosened his tie, feeling the weight of her absence. He’d asked her to wait for him here, promised they’d have dinner together. She said yes. Now she was gone.
Last night had changed everything. He wanted her by his side, always. No more goodbyes.
Jason pulled out his phone, opened Lilly’s messages, and started typing.
Where did you go...
He hadn’t even pressed send when his phone rang. He answered, trying to keep his voice calm. “Hello. Who is this?”
A familiar voice answered. “Mr. Farill, it’s me.”
Lucas.
Jason’s expression didn’t change. “Lucas. Why are you calling?”
Lucas’s laughter came through the line. “Mr. Farill, you’re looking for Lilly, aren’t you?”
Jason’s eyes narrowed. “She’s with you?”
“Yeah, she’s with me. We’re having lunch right now.”
So Lilly went to lunch with Lucas.
Jason’s voice turned cold. “I don’t believe you.”
“I’m not lying. If you don’t believe me, you can come see for yourself.”
