Madelyn smiled politely. A hint of detachment flashed upon her eyes as she said, "It's fine. The elevator is full, so we'll take the next one."

When she rejected Ethan in front of so many people, they looked at her and Ethan with complex gazes.

Madelyn turned to Kennedy and said, "I left something in the room. I need to go back and take it."

Kennedy nodded, "I'll wait for you."

Madelyn responded, "Okay."

When she turned around and left, the elevator slowly closed. Ethan knew she was lying.
