章節 33: Deception

[ At Athena's Penthouse… ]

After sending the children back to Lanny's condo unit, Athena and Lanny visited the newly bought penthouse of Athena.

"A penny for your thought," Lanny softly mumbled, tapping Athena's shoulder. Her friend seemed like she was troubled by something. She had been quiet after leaving the Happy Store.

In response, Athena smiled at her faintly. "It's nothing."

Lanny cocked her eyebrow, not buying her words. "Hmm. Don't tell me you are still affected by your sudden encounter with Dominique today in that store?"

Athena didn't want to admit it but witnessing Dominique shed a tear for the first time shocked her to the core. Furthermore, she couldn't comprehend why he became the owner of the store.

She wanted to know his reason, however, she couldn't ask Amanda directly. She needed to be more careful because one mistake could compromise their plan and give away her true identity.
