Lily's Strategic Retreat

Lily stood nervously, her heart racing as she watched Ethan outside, still furious. Her hands trembled uncontrollably.

She was terrified. What would Ethan do to her if he discovered she had leaked the plan?

Ethan was so aggressive in his attacks on Carter Group right now. If he learned that she had been sabotaging everything from within...

Suddenly, Ethan's voice roared through the room, "Lily! I'll kick the door down if you don't leave now!"

Lily bit her lip, steeling herself, and reluctantly opened the door.

Ethan was sitting on the sofa, his eyes narrowing as she hesitantly stepped out of the guest room. Her body was wrapped tightly in a thick coat that covered most of her, leaving only her pale calves visible.

"Lily! What are you doing?!" Ethan growled, glaring at her.

Where was the uniform?

What on earth was she wearing?

"It's a little cold…" Lily lied, instinctively pulling the coat tighter around her.
