Madeline was astonished by the lengths to which Lance would go just to ensure that she wouldn't appear in the same frame as Zane.
And it was very tempting and 'sounded' safe. But Madeline noticed one glaring weakness that she couldn't ignore.
"What do I think?" Madeline hummed and said, "It sounds really safe and secure, especially with Valerie. I won't need to worry about people thinking I refused to work with Zane."
"Good, then I will call Valerie and—"
"But there is one glaring issue about this, Lance," Madeline interrupted. "What about you?"
"What about… me?" Lance frowned.
"I know that I will be safe and secure. But how about you? Since you said that your brother is trying to sabotage you," Madeline said. "I don't think he will just let you off after you transfer my official contract to Valerie."
"So what will happen to you if I leave?"
Lance found the question astonishing.
Naturally, he knew what would happen to him.
