Lydia then retrieved her phone, opened the browser, and found a picture of Jonah Taylor, the president of KS Group.
Jamie peered over her shoulder. When she saw the picture, she gasped, "Isn't this the guy we saw earlier? He's the president ofKS Group!"
Lydia's eyes darkened as she gazed at the picture, feeling beads of sweat forming.
Initially, the man had seemed familiar, but she couldn't place him. Then, as she left through the exit, it clicked—he was one-halfof the gay couple that had recently made headlines.
"That can't be right. The president of KS Group is gay. How could he also be the one claiming to be Rose's boyfriend? They justbear a striking resemblance."
"You're right. That bitch couldn't be so lucky as to date a Taylor."
Jamie, visibly shaken, attempted to reassure herself. She murmured, "But they look so alike. Anyone would have thought theywere brothers."

"Who said | was pretending?" Silas murmured, his warm breath brushing against her ear.
His voice was hoarse as he added, "I've never been more sincere with you."
