Despite her reluctance, Phoebe Ainsworth knew how to read the room and followed Ian Hollis.
She suppressed her fury, telling herself it was just a temporary measure. 'Once I can speak to Ethan privately, I'll explain everything properly. I'm sure he'll be touched.'
Her fantasy was beautiful, but reality was cruel. After being led to the car, Phoebe Ainsworth never got her chance to prove her loyalty, because Ethan Grant never showed up.
Ian Hollis smiled politely, flashing a perfect eight-tooth grin. Holding a notepad, he said, "Miss Ainsworth, may I ask why you were visiting Warren Grant?"
A frosty expression settled on Phoebe Ainsworth's stunning face. "Secretary Hollis," she said, displeased, "what is the meaning of this?"
Ian Hollis maintained his polite, professional smile. "Miss Ainsworth, please cooperate," he said, his eyes crinkling.
"Move! I'm getting out of this car!"
