Chapter 117 Her Lies

• Lilly POV
• Callum listens intently, his jaw tightening as he places his glass on the table. He exhales sharply before speaking. “Maybe she’s jealous,” he says, his tone measured but thoughtful. “You know she tried working downstairs, right? Not many men were interested in her. She quit because of it. Now, you’re down there, and the women idolize you while every man requests you.”
• I blink, his words sinking in. Could that really be it? Jealousy? It seems too simple, but at the same time, it makes sense. I nod slowly, the pieces starting to fall into place. “Thanks, Callum,” I whisper, my voice soft. “You’re a great friend.”
