Chapter 6

The woman checked her watch, as if to remind me. "Mr. Thorne isn't home. He's out of the country and will be back on a morning flight tomorrow."

"Just prepare Mr. Thorne's clothes for tomorrow morning and his breakfast."

I nodded blankly.

She went to the guest room, changed into a business suit, and left.

Besides me, there was only Mr. Jenkins, the driver and gardener, at the Thorne residence.

Mr. Jenkins exchanged a few pleasantries with me, and I couldn't help but ask, "Who was that?"

Mr. Jenkins replied, "You mean Ms. Sinclair?"

"She's Mr. Thorne's secretary. She handles all his business and personal affairs."

"It seems Mr. Thorne is quite fond of Ms. Sinclair."

A bitter taste quickly spread through me.

I'd always understood that people move on.

I didn't expect Liam to remain single and unwed for me until his dying day.

But knowing that a new woman had appeared in his life, it still hurt deeply.
