"Carol, I've been neglecting your feelings lately, I admit it. I'll talk to Listina, and she does depend on me too much."
Seeing his compliant attitude, Carol felt a pang of guilt, but she didn't want her boyfriend constantly running around for another woman.
Taking a deep breath, she tiptoed and planted a quick kiss on his lips.
"Alright, I'll leave first."
With that, she grabbed her keys and quickly left.
As soon as she left, the warmth in Felix's smile slowly vanished. His mood darkened as he wiped his lips, thinking of their recent intimacy, which left his breathing disorderly.
He was getting carried away with that act.
But he had to remind himself constantly, and it was just a game.
Lowering his lashes, he, too, left the place.
Carol first went to the Raymond Corporation, hoping on a whim that Ian, the workaholic, might be working late at the office.
But after asking around, it was clear Ian wasn't there.
Carol then drove to Greenfield Gardens, parking her car next to Ryan's.
Recognizing him, she rolled down her window without hesitation and greeted him.
"Mr. Elston."
Ryan knew her. After all, the Miller Group was a dominant industry nationwide and was always in the top five, even in the circle.
He raised his chin in greeting with a smile.
"Ms. Miller, long time no see. How come you don't attend these circle events anymore?"
Carol had been busy dating for the past few months and had completely faded out of the circle. Abner thought she was taking a break, as the old Carol was quite wild and a regular at the bars.
"Mr. Elston, I'd like to ask about Maja. You may not know, but she's my best friend."
Surprise flickered in Ryan's eyes, and he didn't know.
Following that, his expression darkened as he relayed the possibility of Maja's involvement in Holden's murder.
Carol knew about Holden's death. Her father even visited the memorial service, but she wasn't close with the other members of the Raymond family, so she didn't attend. She was shocked by the news of Maja's involvement.

Why are there no updates yet, Author. We've all been waitibg for quite a while now. Please, update soon, Author. Thanks....
Author, my thoughts on the book. When are You going to write on Cornelia and Omar Casson's romance? You made no mention, describing in detail how Maja and Uan's white wedding ceremony went. Also, you didn't write on Carol's baby delivery. What about Tyler's romance. Is there closure on Phelps Herrington being truly certified dead, so also his twin brother? Dylan's research institute "little girl", what became of her and Dylan's romance? Beck's blind dates, what were the results, is he married now, so also Dylan to his "little girl"? Why hasn't Ian's father- Steven come forward to meet Maja's parents as the in-laws meeting each other especially with his supposed past with Lillian; Maja's mother. I hope I won't remain curious for too long on the aforementioned issues, Author. Thanks for doing a good job on Zoey and Fitch's romance, though. Kudos....
