Chapter 200 Felix watched as the two holding hands gradually disappeared into the distance. His gaze turned cold behind his sunglasses. Barclay! How annoying! Seeing Felix still, Zachary became nervous. Whats wrong? Arent you afraid of being recognized? Felix finally looked away and left the cafe without a word, clearly angry. Zachary frowned, feeling puzzled. What on earth could have annoyed Felix? Moira was completely immersed in her act, only realizing they were holding hands when they entered the elevator. Their fingers intertwined tightly! Realizing this, her face flushed instantly. Mr. Covington, your acquaintance didnt get in the elevator, did they? Barclay glanced at her, calmly responding, No. With that, he voluntarily let go of her hand. As their tightly clasped hands separated, Moiras sweaty palm felt a sense of relief.
