Axel guided Joseph into the living room. He appeared calm on the outside, but behind that composed appearance, his mind was quietly whirling.
'Why had Evelyn invited this man?' He wonders.
When he found out Evelyn had invited Joseph, he tried to ask her, but she was too busy with the preparations.
Worried about ruining her good mood, he kept his questions to himself. Instead, he asked Collins to run a background check on Joseph Carter.

Some even whispered they were more than colleagues. Because Joseph had followed Evelyn everywhere... meetings, charity events, even late-night company parties.
Knowing that, he didn't like that.
What made it worse was learning that Joseph had also attended the New Year's gala at the Imperial Hotel years ago. The very same night, Evelyn's life had changed forever.
