"I thought Silas told you in advance." Once he knew she couldn't escape, Silas Cheney began to gloat, "Everyone is bringing their partners, so if Silas is taking you, that's definitely what he means."
"His intentions are as clear as day."
In the past, Silas would not dare to say something like this, mainly because he knew Thea Lynch cared about her image and was afraid she would feel embarrassed.
But after the events of the past few days, Thea's "mental fortitude" seemed to have strengthened. So now he could be himself more, increasingly unabashed.
"You'd better not say anything."
The term "partner" made Thea tense up immediately.
She hurriedly hung up, not giving Silas another chance to elaborate.
Five minutes later, the phone rang, it was Ian Preston.
Thea took a deep breath, grabbed her bag, and headed downstairs.
She didn't pick up the phone; Ian thought something might have happened. Just as he was about to go upstairs, the elevator came down.
