🏵️ CHAPTER 72 🏵️ Denzel was taken aback as Lena suddenly ran to him in a hug. Lena on the other hand didn't even realize when she hugged him.

She leaned back on the elevator wall, letting out deep and steady breaths to calm her racing heart. She rubbed her sweaty cold palms together to create friction and make them warm. Remembering the lie she just told the reporters, Lena’s face gloomed down in sadness. She couldn’t believe she just denied her marriage with Denzel to the public.
