"How can he possibly be that busy?" Kailyn questioned, suspicion coloring her voice. "Isn't he deliberately avoiding you?" Laney replied, "Why would he avoid me?" The thought seemed absurd—he hadn't avoided her even when his heart was cold to hers. Kailyn paused, weighing her words carefully. “I just feel like Cliff might be the type who would walk away after getting what he wanted." Laney's mind had wandered down similar dark paths in her weakest moments. But then she remembered... "We didn't go that far." Laney had faith in Cliff. During the month they spent together, whether in tender moments between sheets or in daily life, he'd shown nothing but consideration for her feelings. How could someone so attentive be capable of hurting her? Alone in her room, Laney wrestled with the gnawing doubt eating away at her peace of mind. Was it her inability to be there for Cliff, or had his heart never truly been hers from the beginning? The questions tormented her. If she meant nothing to him, why pursue a relationship? Why whisk her away on that memorable trip? Yet, if his feelings were genuine, how could he bear this distance between them? With trembling fingers, Laney pored over their photo album, desperate to decode the truth hidden in Cliff's expressions. Every image showed them in perfect harmony, but the longer she studied them, the more her heart felt like a hollow drum. Her strength ebbed away until she could no longer lift the pages.

It took three attempts before someone finally answered. Laney composed herself, only to hear his assistant's clinical tone. "Miss Collins, Mr. Hopkins is currently at a business function. Is it urgent? I can go in and find him." The words hit Laney like a splash of cold water, leaving her momentarily mute. A business function. But why did his assistant have his phone? "How long will he be?" Laney managed to ask.

"He's halfway through," the assistant replied with practiced smoothness. "Mr. Hopkins just took over, so he has to handle many things personally. Please understand." Her heart clenched. "Will he drink a lot?" "That's unavoidable." "Could you please givethe address? I'll bring him a homemade remedy for hangovers."

The assistant's pause spoke volumes. Cliff had entrusted him with the phone specifically to screenm unwanted calls, and he knew Laney wouldn't leave without seeing Cliff once she arrived. Today's proceedings were too vital for any disruptions.
