Aaron furrowed his brow.
How could Serena possibly be in Northspire? Her relationship with her family was strained at best.
Picking up his phone, Aaron dialed the number for Rosewood Gardens.
"Is Serena there?" he asked.
The voice on the other end belonged to Olivia, who had been with the Vance family for over two decades.
Without hesitation, she replied, "Yes."
Aaron narrowed his eyes.
It seemed Victor had indeed been mistaken.
He hung up the phone and sent a message back to Victor.
[Serena is at Rosewood Gardens.]
Victor responded with a series of question marks.
Could it be?
Was the woman he saw really Miss Sullivan?
Does Miss Sullivan have a twin sister?
Aaron's second message quickly followed.
[Finished the meeting with William? What did he say?]
Victor snapped back into work mode: [Mr. Grayson was very pleased. He said everything's in order, and we can sign the contract on Thursday.]
Reading Victor's message, a hint of a smile finally appeared on Aaron's otherwise impassive face.
William was once poised to inherit the Northspire Grayson Group, but after a car accident three years ago left him paralyzed, he became a figure people avoided.
But Aaron chose to partner with William.
Because William was far from a failure.
The fact that he had managed to re-establish himself at the core of Grayson Group in such a short time was a testament to his capabilities.
Great things were surely in his future.
The most important thing was that once this collaboration was complete, Aaron could finally take a break and spend time with Serena.
