Jill didn’t even try to hide it. “You really are sharp, Lilly. Yeah, I bought the Frost Orchid. The one you need is right here with me. So, what do you say? Want to come out and talk?”
Lilly let out a cold laugh. “Just wait. I’m coming now.”
She ended the call and glanced toward the bathroom, where the sound of running water told her Jason was still showering. Grabbing a pen, she scribbled a quick note: Jason, I’m heading out to get some food. I’ll be back soon.
She set the note on the table and slipped out of the room.
Jill was easy to find, standing in the hallway like she’d been waiting for her. Lilly walked straight up.
“Jill, you’ve been following us, haven’t you? You know exactly where we are and what we’re doing.”
Jill’s lips curled into a smug smile. “Of course. Otherwise, how could I have gotten the Frost Orchid before you did?”
“Where is it?” Lilly asked, cutting to the chase.
Jill pulled out a small box and opened it, revealing the pristine white Frost Orchid inside.
Without thinking, Lilly stepped forward. “Give it to me!”
Jill just handed the box to the bodyguard behind her. He took it and walked away.
Jill looked back at Lilly, her smile never fading. “See? I told you I had it. No tricks.”
