"Not sure. Maybe later."
"Okay."
Aiden slowly put his phone down.
A faint spark of hope flickered in his chest.
If she wouldn't allow him to meet her boyfriend, then their relationship couldn't be that serious.
And if it wasn't serious…
Then there was still a chance for him.
"When can you come visit me at the studio?" Aiden asked.
"I'm free soon. Let me know when works for you."
"How about tomorrow?"
"Tomorrow works."
Third Person POV
Lilian had just returned home from the studio when she saw the status update.
In an instant, her expression changed.
At first glance, others might not have noticed anything unusual.
But she knew.
She recognized him immediately.
The man in the photo was unmistakably Alexander.
A sharp wave of rage surged through her.
Her grip tightened around her phone.
That bitch… Alicia.
Her eyes darkened as she stared at the screen, fury building beneath her calm exterior.
