Suzy and the others remained on guard, their bodies tense and ready, showing no sign of relaxing despite Wendy's reassurance.
A moment later, a tall figure stepped out from the shadows.
He was a broad-shouldered man dressed in a black tactical jacket, a mask covering most of his face, leaving only a pair of deep, unreadable eyes exposed.
His stride was steady. Even in this miserable scramble for shelter from the rain, he carried an air of distance that was hard to ignore.
Those eyes swept across everyone in the office, pausing briefly on Suzy before moving on.
They were familiar.
Suzy had seen them before.
It was Liam.
Seeing him here with Wendy wasn't surprising.
Not long ago, when Leonard had contacted them, he'd mentioned that Wendy had been with an unfamiliar man. Suzy had already guessed it might be Liam.
Now it was confirmed.
Leonard and Thomas watched Liam with guarded expressions.
