“Your office is so beautiful.” Maynard had his hands in his pants when looking

around and complimenting the interior.

Lazio and he were talking. Christina and Valerie were walking around hand in

talking about me.

outside.

Lazio. From the looks of it, it didn’t even look like they were meeting after such a

long time.
