Chapter 49- unfair
Since Lilian was staying at Tiffany’s place, Morrison had no good reason to pick her up that morning—and so, she finally felt liberated.
Later that afternoon, while returning from an errand, Lilian walked into the lobby of MOS Corp. only to run straight into Morrison and his entourage. They had just exited the elevator and looked like they were heading out on business.
Leading the group was Morrison, with Norton Sean close behind. And walking right next to Morrison, arm almost brushing his, was a capable-looking woman in a sharp outfit. Lilian recognized her instantly. Wasn’t she the same woman she had seen during her graduation dinner—being held way too close by Morrison?
If she remembered correctly, her name was Monna, the owner of Burg Eltz—a hugely successful beauty salon chain.
Lilian, being fairly young, didn’t care much about skincare and beauty treatments. But Laurent—back when she was still a full-time housewife—used to bring up that industry often. Emma had just started preschool then, so Laurent had plenty of time to pamper herself and gossip, which was how Lilian had heard Monna’s name in the first place.
She also remembered that night vividly: Morrison had sworn up and down that there was nothing between him and Monna. "Just business," he’d said.
And now...
Well, luckily she wasn’t too close to them. There was still some distance between them in the lobby, and plenty of foot traffic in between. Maybe they wouldn’t even notice her. With that thought, she tried to quietly veer off to the side and slip toward the elevators.
But just as she took a step away, she clearly saw Morrison reach out and pull Monna into his arms. Then he leaned down and whispered something into her ear.
The way they stood—bodies close, heads tilted, smiles soft—it was intimate. Too intimate.
Lilian froze for a second, then quickly dropped her head and bolted toward the elevators.
The last time she saw him hold Monna, he explained it was business.
