Under the Veil I Rule novel Chapter 303

It wasn't all that surprising when Mr. Kevin Everly decided to step down from his position. Given his age, it seemed he was ready for some well-earned rest.

As she watched Finnian mingle with the crowd, she couldn't help but think, with him climbing the corporate ladder, Liliana would transition from being the CEO's wife to the Chairwoman's wife. Their future seemed bright and promising.

For some reason, she felt a bit uneasy. She didn't want to see him anymore and moved to the side.

Once the formalities were over, everyone started to dig into the feast.

She had barely started her meal when her phone buzzed with a video call from Keith West. Excusing herself, Amara stepped out into the hallway to take the call.

"Wow, you’re all dressed up today!" Keith teased as soon as the connection was made, seeing Amara's elegantly made-up face on his screen.

Amara chuckled, "Well, I’m at a fancy party, so I had to look the part. Where are you this time?"

Every recent call with Keith had featured unusual backgrounds, and this time was no exception. He appeared to be on a windy cliffside.

"I'm filming a reality show on the edge of a cliff. It's freezing out here," Keith said, sneezing for emphasis.

"Did you bring any hand warmers? If not, I can send some your way," Amara offered.

"Don't bother sending any. Those are for women," Keith replied dismissively.

"What are you implying? That's pretty sexist," Amara shot back. "Just give me your address, and I'll mail them over. I don't want you catching a cold and complaining about it in your old age."

Keith sighed in resignation, "Alright, alright, I’ll use them."

They chatted for a bit longer, with Keith sharing amusing anecdotes from the show, making Amara laugh. But her laughter faded when she glanced back and saw Finnian standing at the entrance, watching her with a stony expression.
