Callahan stood before the floor-to-ceiling window in the corridor, staring at his phone screen with dark eyes. He knew Leilani wouldn't accept Micah's things, of course, but seeing that photo, he couldn't control the irritation rising in his chest.
He put his phone away and returned to the conference room.
The Marketing Director asked nervously, "Mr. Langley, shall we continue?"
Callahan gave a faint "Mm," his expression having returned to calm.
But everyone could feel that the temperature in the room seemed to have dropped a few degrees. No one expected what happened next.
...
That night, the footage of Leilani and Clive arguing in the luxury store was uploaded to social media by a bystander. At first, the video only circulated within a small circle, but sharp-eyed internet users soon recognized Clive.
"Isn't that Clive? Arguing with someone at the mall?"
"Who's the girl opposite him? Her vibe is intense!"
"Clive's attitude is terrible. Being a celebrity makes you all that?"
The video's popularity began to climb. The comment sections were buzzing, and some people even dug up Leilani's identity.
"Wait, isn't that girl the Sloan family's adopted daughter? Didn't the news say she cut ties with the Sloan family?"
