Chapter 349 Quincy
Lillian accepted the necklace and turned to the photographer. “Put everyone’s photos up p>
The photographer tapped a few keys, and within moments the five sets of images filled the wall screen. The contrast was stark-victory and defeat plain for all to see.
Her gaze swept the room, cold and sharp. “Well? Any objections? If you have something to say, now’s the time p>
No one spoke. Even Winona stayed silent, her earlier defiance swallowed down.
Seeing that, Lillian turned to Wayne. “She’s the one. You handle the follow-up.” Without another word, she headed for the door.
Wayne looked at Kayla. “Congratulations. You’ve been chosen. My secretary will let you know the shooting schedule p>
Kayla stared, wide-eyed. “Me? Really p>
Wayne’s smile was faint. “Yes. Keep working hard.” Then he and Ryan left.
The remaining executives exchanged looks. That girl-just a word from her had sealed the decision, and even Wayne seemed to defer to her. Clearly, her identity was anything but simple.
Out in the hall, Lillian walked toward the elevators, only to hear a low male voice.
“Ms. Harrington. What a coincidence, meeting you here p>
She turned and found Randall approaching with his entourage. Her lips quirked. “A coincidence indeed. Didn’t expect to run into you here. Business p>
Randall nodded. “Yes. I have an appointment with Mr. Wayne to discuss a partnership p>
Lillian glanced toward the studio just in time to see Wayne and Ryan emerging. She gestured lightly. “Speak of the devil-here they are p>
The two men walked up. Wayne eyed them curiously. “You know each other p>
Lillian inclined her head. “Barely. We’ve met once or twice p>
Randall, however, didn’t let it rest. “Ms. Harrington once saved my life. That’s hardly something I can dismiss as a passing acquaintance p>
Wayne and Ryan exchanged a look-understanding dawning in their eyes.

Lillian didn’t bother to explain further. She only gestured toward Randall. “He says he’s here for your meeting. You all go ahead. I’m heading up p>
With that, she unlocked the private elevator with her fingerprint and stepped inside.
Randall’s expression darkened with thought as the doors slid shut.
Wayne opened another elevator for him, smiling faintly. “This way, please p>
Back in her office, Lillian had barely settled into her chair when her phone rang shrilly.
A string of unfamiliar digits flashed on the screen. She frowned but answered.
“Lillian, you’re in Kingston, aren’t you?” A sharp, impatient female voice burst through the line.
Lillian’s brow furrowed. “Quincy?” The voice was familiar, but over the phone it was hard to be
sure.
There was a pause, then the woman’s tone turned dangerous. “Lillian, don’t tell me you’ve forgotten me p>
Lillian laughed softly. “Forget anyone else, never you. I just hesitated because your voice over the phone doesn’t sound as good as in person. That’s all p>
Quincy snorted, mollified. “Better. That’s more like it. Anyway, are you in Kingston or not? That bitch Stella swore she saw you at the airport p>
“Stella?” Lillian’s tone cooled. She remembered her-the woman who had sneered at her back at Mr. Geo’s birthday banquet. She hadn’t expected Stella to still be keeping tabs.
