Chapter 50 Positive Results

At Galaxy Bay, Amanda came out of the bathroom drying her hair with a towel. She turned the TV on and sat down before the dressing table, ready to go through her skincare routine.

The TV was airing the live recording of the charity ball, and Elias was on screen, elaborating on his relationship. “Grace and I are just colleagues, not lovers.”

“What is it?” he asked calmly.
