Amelie heard Rohan's voice from behind the door.

"Anyone in there? I'm coming in."

Amelie panicked.

Lamont and Amelie's breathing quickened. They got so close that they could hear the thumping in each other's chests.

Amelie responded and pushed Lamont away violently.

They both looked disheveled, but Amelie didn't seem to care. She stroked her hair and lazily said, "Mr. Byron, you're really good at making others suffer."

"You're one to talk, Ms. Mullen. You've been plotting for five years just to snatch half of the Byron Group," Lamont answered with a poker face.

"I'll take that as a compliment. You should be thankful that you can still stand in front of me, safe and sound." Amelie looked at Lamont dismissively as she threw away the shawl which Lamont had touched.
