He exchanged a few more polite words with Lily before hanging up.

In truth, when Lily had said she’d prepared James’s gift, Ashton, the ever–clever assistant, had already discreetly switched on the speakerphone.

After ending the call, he repeated to his boss, “Mrs. Luke remembered your birthday. She’s already prepared your gift, but she told me not to tell you–she wants to surprise you.”

“Mm.”

James’s voice stayed icy, but the corners of his lips betrayed him, rising no matter how he tried to keep them down. In his dark eyes, warmth bloomed like a field of spring flowers.

Through the rearview mirror, Ashton caught the ghost of a smile on his boss’s face and nearly stomped on the gas in shock.

Then he found himself grinning too, brows arching in delight.

Seeing James and Lily so close genuinely pleased him. He sincerely hoped they could stay sweet forever.

But as he was basking in the glow of their happiness, a sharp gunshot cracked the air.

A split second later, a bullet slammed into the speeding Koenigsegg’s body…

Lily’s birthday gift for James was a tie, a white shirt, and a suit jacket.

She had made them all herself.

The gift box had already been bought.

After hanging up, she laid the tie, shirt, and jacket neatly inside, admiring them for a long

while.

She trusted her sewing skills. James was so handsome–she didn’t even dare imagine how good he would look in clothes she had made with her own hands.

She gazed at her “masterpiece” with quiet pride before closing the lid and tying a perfect bow with the ribbon.

After breakfast, she had the driver take her to the recording studio.

She’d drunk quite a lot of water earlier, so the first thing she did upon arrival was head to the

restroom.

As she stepped out of a stall, she saw a cleaner standing nearby.

She assumed the woman was about to empty the bins and thought nothing of it. She had run into cleaners in bathrooms before.

But just as she walked past, the “cleaner” lunged forward and clamped a rag over her nose and mouth.

Lily struggled desperately–she had no intention of letting this woman overpower her.

For safety, two trained bodyguards had been assigned to accompany her everywhere.

Of course, they couldn’t follow her inside the restroom, but they wouldn’t have gone far. One cry for help and they would come.

She opened her mouth to scream, lifting a foot to kick over a mop bucket to make noise-

But the cloth over her mouth was soaked in a heavy sedative.

The pungent sweetness filled her nose. She hadn’t even managed a sound before the darkness swallowed her whole.

“Why hasn’t she come out yet?”

The two bodyguards waiting outside grew uneasy after more than ten minutes.

“I’ll check.”

One strode quickly to the door and knocked. “Madam, are you almost done?”

No answer.

His unease deepened.

They called several more times, still no response.

Even though it was a women’s restroom, they didn’t dare wait any longer and burst inside.

Every stall door stood open. Lily was nowhere to be found.

Their faces went pale.
