"Oh, got it."
Karl said that and hung up. Lilian was left confused.
"What was that about?"
Why would someone call just to ask where she was?
Little did she know, Karl was actually testing Morrison again. Last night, he deliberately let slip that he planned to take Lilian hiking today—knowing that if Morrison cared, he'd definitely try to intervene.
Now, here Lilian was, working overtime on a weekend, so early...
It was clear how much Morrison cared about Karl's little game.
Maybe because Morrison heard nothing unusual during their call, he finally turned and left. The moment he did, Lilian felt the world lighten and breathed a long sigh of relief, shaking herself awake to focus on her work.
As she meticulously double-checked the numbers, a cup of rich coffee appeared in front of her. She blinked, then looked up at Morrison, who had quietly made it for her.
"Thank you..." she murmured.
