But just five minutes later, he was completely paralyzed, his heart sinking, as he witnessed a scene that made the entire mall hold its breath… The grand lobby of the Sterling Galleria, one of New York City’s most luxurious landmarks, gleamed like a palace.
Logan Carter stepped out of his gleaming black Mercedes, his arm around the waist of Sienna Blake, his young and attractive lover, whom he always showed off as they walked together.
That day he hadn’t gone shopping.
He had come to try to get close to the most influential businesspeople during the launch event for a strategic partner: his perfect opportunity to climb to the next level.
As he walked through the luxury boutique area, Logan suddenly stopped dead in his tracks.
In front of a shop window displaying an exclusive collection, a woman stood motionless.
A simple gray uniform, a cleaning cloth in her hand, a slender figure, her hair hastily pulled back…
But her posture…
Her serenity…
That presence…
It all felt too familiar.
Logan narrowed his eyes.
His heart skipped a beat.
“Madison?”
The woman turned.
A natural face, no makeup. A few fine lines at the corners of her eyes. But her gaze… was still deep and surprisingly calm.
It was her.
