Olivia quickly turned back and tried to read Lily's lips. Then, just after Lily finished mouthing two sentences, Edward snapped, “
Why aren't they leaving yet? Do you want them to stay andto leave instead?”
“No, they’ re waiting for the elevator. I'm closing the door now!” Olivia said it quickly, gave Lily a small nod, and then closed the
door.
Seeing the door shut, Lily let out a barely audible sigh.
Wrapping his arm around her shoulders, Alexander walked with her toward the elevator and lowered his head. “So??? What did you
say to her?”
“| told her to callwithout Edward knowing and that I'd like to speak to her alone.” Glancing back toward the door, she saw it
was closed and whispered her answer.

[Without Edward knowing? “ Alexander pressed the elevator button while raising his eyebrows.
“yes!” Nodding, Lily looked at him. “Don’t you think there's something very wrong with Edward?”
“How could there be anything wrong with him? He's been by my side for years. "If | couldn't trust him, | couldn't trust anyone," he
said as he looked up at the floor number.
Alexander completely trusted Edward and believed the man felt the sway about him. However, Edward's attitude today made
him wonder if he was the person he once knew.
“So you're not upset that Edward made such an accusation about you?” Cocking her head, Lily sounded more like she was teasing
him.
Alexander curled his lips. “Nope!”
The elevator arrived, and the doors opened. As the doors closed behind them, Alexander asked, 'Did you try to take his wrist pulse
because you suspect something is physically wrong with him?"
“Oh? Like what?” She curled her lips and acted ignorant. “I just wanted to check if he’s suffering from any injuries. | wasn’t
suspecting anything, okay?”
“No?” Alexander playfully pinched her shoulder for being mischievous, then asked, “Don’t you think that his behavior and
symptoms are similar to someone we met recently?”
“Yes?” Lily smiled and stopped joking around with him. “Are you talking about Secretary Rollins?”
“l wouldn't have thought so if it weren't for such a precedent.
However, we just met Cameron, and we know there's a way to control people's minds. If I've guessed correctly, you wanted to
check if a needle was inside him, didn’t you?”

He threw her a sidelong glance as if he had seen through her.
Lily sighed. “You've seen throughalright.”
Seeing her coy look, Alexander chuckled.
She then pulled along face and looked toward him with a frown. “ But you're wrong!”
“About what?”
“You said if you couldn't trust Edward, then you could trust no one.”
Hearing her words, Alexander caught himself and had a bad premonition. Before he could explain, he heard her threatening voice,
“Are you saying that | can’t be trusted?”
“That's not what | meant!” Alexander claimed innocence.
