In a private room at The Azure Pavilion, Raina Lynn sat elegantly on the sofa, accepting the tea Vivian Yardley handed her with a radiant smile.
"Those photos of me and Laura... you're the one who hired someone to take them, weren't you?"
Vivian Yardley lowered his head and took a sip of tea from his purple clay cup. His voice was calm, betraying no emotion.
Raina Lynn took a delicate sip of tea and leaned forward to set her cup on the tea-brewing table. The smile at the corner of her lips was triumphant. "Don't you want to announce to the whole world that Laura Lowell is your woman now?"
"But nothing happened between Laura and me. And we already agreed that this would stay between us, that no third person would ever find out. Now, you've made it so everyone knows."
