Seeing Adrian Law relax, Cecilia Vaughn happily hugged the man's lean waist and nudged his shoulder affectionately.
"Adrian, I always knew you were the best for me."
"..."
Adrian shook his head helplessly and reached out to gently tidy Cecilia's stray hair by her cheek.
"Cecilia, with the New Year approaching, not only is your school busy with year-end grades, but The Law Group also needs to prepare for the annual meeting and celebration dinner. There are a stack of things waiting to be handled."
Cecilia felt a bit apologetic after hearing that, a hint of embarrassment showing in her eyes.
"How about I go with Wyatt instead?"
"That's not the issue I wanted to address..."
Adrian firmly shook his head.
"The New Year is coming, Cecilia. I just hope your heart can be a pure land, filled with sunshine. But Chloe Alden's case is too gruesome and brutal, and I don't want the most vivid image of this year's end to be catching the real culprit."
