Trevor cast a worried glance at Loraine. He knew Paige was vindictive; if she genuinely had a connection with Rowan, she would never let
Loraine off the hook.
However, Paige was promptly rebuffed by the soldier.
Maintaining a respectful distance, the soldier stood at attention.
Apologies, but Im Hubert Vance, Mr. Torres assistant. Youve mistaken me for someone else.
The onlookers suddenly realized that Paige had no idea who Rowan was, nor did she know what he looked like. Pretty soon, they were all glaring at her with disdain.
Paiges froze for a moment before she recovered, forcing a sheepish smile. Oh, its you, Mr. Vance. Well, when you get a chance, please convey my admiration to Mr. Torres for me.
She attempted to leave a positive impression on Hubert, but he merely furrowed his brow at her and proceeded to ignore her advances.

Trevor, standing behind them, widened his eyes in shock as he looked back and forth between Loraine and Hubert, his neck almost craning from the effort.
He knew better than anyone the significance of the Cheetah Command and what it meant for Hubert to salute Loraine like that!
No wonder Loraines file had been encrypted. She was related to Rowan.
Trevor felt fortunate that he hadnt disregarded Loraine because she hadnt revealed her identity.
Paige, on the other hand, gaped in disbelief.
Loraine, you know Mr.
Torres?
Judging by Huberts deferential attitude, Loraines relationship with
Rowan must be close.
Rowan was an enigmatic figure, with limited public information.
However, rumors had it that he was still single. Paiges thoughts naturally wandered down a more scandalous path.
She glanced at Marco and probed further.
Loraine, whats your relationship with Mr. Torres? Even though youve divorced Marco, you still appear at every event with your ex-husband and are supposedly involved with Mr. Torres. Arent you afraid theyll become upset?
