Aiden watched as his boss got more and more caught up in the kiss, unable to look away. He hesitated, then slowly pulled out his phone. Should he sneak a picture? Opportunities like this didn’t come around every day. If Mr. Jefferson ever grilled him about how things were going between his boss and Lydia, at least he’d have some proof.
Connor had been holding back all day, so it made sense that he’d finally lose control. Lydia, on the other hand, usually had a pretty thick skin, but this was a first for her. Her face turned as red as a tomato.
Passersby caught sight of the two of them, and some started to smile or even take out their phones, snapping pictures to post online. The whole moment looked straight out of a movie.
“Connor!” Lydia finally managed, cheeks flushed as she pushed him away.
Connor watched her, noticing how her whole face seemed to glow, and he couldn’t help but feel a rush of sweetness in his chest. “Come on, let’s get some dinner.”
At the same time, Kylie and Cameron arrived at Blake’s private villa. The moment they walked through the door, the soft sound of piano music floated down from upstairs.
“Listen, Lucinda’s gotten even better at piano,” Kylie said, her eyes lighting up. The song she was playing was beautiful. Lucinda must have been practicing hard for tomorrow’s competition.
“She really has a gift,” Cameron replied, smiling.
Grace hurried out to greet them. “Sir, Madam, Lucinda’s been practicing nonstop since she got home this afternoon. This new piece she’s working on is just stunning. I know she’ll win the championship tomorrow.”
