Two hours into her stay at the villa, Xavier was handling work in his study upstairs.

talking things through with him. She stood up and made her way upstairs, but as soon as she reached the
corner, a bodyguard blocked her path
"Mrs. Fulton, Mr. Fulton is busy y with work."
"I need to see him," Lily said, brushing aside the bodyguard's hand.
