Chapter 135

Lilah glanced at her phone and let out a helpless smile. She didn't bother replying, just put the phone away. Grabbing her tablet from the side, she dove back into work. The Ashbourne Manor was a bit of a drive from downtown. Just when she was almost home, her phone pinged again. She set down the tablet and opened the message. Dr. Harrison: [Photo] Dr. Harrison: [Photo] Dr. Harrison: "Lilah, he's actually taking selfies!" Dr. Harrison: "Girl, this is as far as I can help you." Lilah enlarged the photos—sure enough, Gabriel was standing in the garden of the presidential estate, taking selfies. That usual cold, elite vibe of his, paired with the act of holding up a phone for selfies, just felt... off. She didn't reply right away and went back to the chat list. As expected, Gabriel had already messaged her a bunch of times. First, some comments on her own selfies. Then, a wave of his own selfies followed. After thinking a bit, Lilah screenshot their convo and forwarded it to Dr. Harrison.
