Chapter 55: Who is Jean?

William

I felt deflated after talking to Grace on the phone. It was unbelievable that my stakeholders were planning a coup. Despite my anger, I knew I had to focus on other things. I needed to make it up to Lily and had already planned for us to spend time at Le Cinq. The restaurant has excellent food and a luxurious romantic atmosphere that I hope will help me regain her trust.

Upon her return to the hotel, Lily approached me with a beaming smile and planted a surprise kiss on my lips. I experienced a sense of relief when she displayed affection towards me and hoped it was an indicator that she had moved past her state of agitation.

"Um, are you okay?" Unsure as to why she was now calm.

"Yes. I'm fine. I know I was upset earlier, but I decided I will make the best of the trip no matter what. I can only focus on what I have control over." She smiled and walked to her suitcase.
