The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 1799

Byran's voice snapped Ida out of her daze, and, together, they boarded the elevator.

Inside the elevator, Ida whipped out her smartphone and began typing a message to her underlings, instructing them to investigate why Thaddeus' wife and daughter were at the hospital.
