As Xavier sat in the back of the car, Lia sat beside him, an awkward silence filling the air.
"What's the matter, Miss Darcy? Are you upset that I didn't sign the contract with your ex?" Xavier asked, a cold smirk on his face.
Lia didn't know what to say. Why would she be upset that the contract was cancelled? She was more than relieved to be rid of that jerk, after all.
"No, Mr. Flynn," she said, feigning indifference. She wondered how Xavier knew that Jamie was her ex. "How did you know...?" She asked.
"About Jamie being your ex?" Xavier finished her sentence, without even opening his eyes.
Lia's eyes widened. "Yes, how did you know?" she asked, her voice trembling.
"Do you really think I wouldn't do my research on the people who work for me?" he asked, still with his eyes closed. "Your history is not difficult to find. And besides, you're the second daughter of the Thompson family, regardless of whether you changed your name or not."
