A message popped up on her screen: [The sender has withdrawn a message.] Lizetta, "...
|| But this time, she didn't have to wait long before he replied again.
Just two words: [Available.] It seemed he had stopped being erratic and returned to his usual reserved and laconic self, Mr. Dashiell.

[Let's meet tomorrow afternoon, I have something to ask you.] [Okay.] In the hospital room, Remington had uncrossed his legs. The man, who had been lounging lazily against the sofa back, straightened up, resting his arms on his widespread legs, leaning forward with his phone in hand. After agreeing, he feared he might seem too aloof, so he quickly added two more messages.
[What time?] [Do you needto pick you up?] Lizetta thought about her schedule for the next day; she was already planning to visit the Starlight Group on behalf of Madden Media to submit a letter of intent for cooperation.

She tried not to listen or look, but the image of Remington looking down at his WhatsApp, his handsface smiling tenderly and indulgently, was seared into her mind.
This couldn't go on.
A man like Remington was irresistible to any woman.
Moreover, such a man was now devoted to just one woman.
Lizetta was just putting on an act, her heart still set on Remington. With Remington pursuing her like this, how long could she hold out? If the two of them reconciled, Stella would have no chance at all.
