Shattered Illusions Love Lies and Redemption (Lizetta and Remington) novel Chapter 704

"Cedric, next time I set down the coffee mug, maybe I should place it on his left side, huh? He almost knocked it over with his documents just now. He seemed pretty annoyed about it..."

Mrs. Madison would ponder over such minor details for ages.

But now, it seemed the tables had entirely turned.

What goes around comes around, especially in matters of the heart—they're never simple, are they?

"Boss, I reckon Mrs. Madison's willingness to return to Zion City means she's let bygones be bygones concerning this city, and perhaps, concerning you."

Remington's usually stern face softened into a rare, warm smile.

"Your insight's getting sharper."

Cedric, pleasantly surprised by the compliment, felt a ray of sunshine pierce his otherwise stormy days, all thanks to Mrs. Madison's return.

"So, she might not be averse to meeting me, right?"

Remington had been holding back, not from a lack of desire to see Lizetta, but from uncertainty about her feelings.

He feared that if he upset her just as she had returned, she might flee once more.

Cedric mulled it over, then ventured, "Given Mrs. Madison has come back, she's probably braced herself for running into you... I guess?"

Cedric wasn't entirely sure, but Remington chose to interpret his assistant's tentative statement as confirmation.

The man stood up decisively, instructing Cedric, "Find out where she's headed and why she came back this time."

Cedric nodded and hurried off to gather information.

Remington grabbed his suit jacket and headed out, only to halt suddenly and return to the lounge.
