Lianne recognized him.
It was Leo Lynn, one of Seth Sinclair's bodyguards.
Leo Lynn was carrying a massive, cube-shaped box in one hand. Lianne glanced over and saw a large cherry cake inside.
"Miss Lane, Happy New Year. I'm here to deliver your cake." Leo Lynn had rugged features and a somewhat simple, honest personality. He looked like a hardened man but had a boyish air about him. "May I come in?"
"Happy New Year," Lianne returned the blessing with a smile, stepping aside to let him pass. "Please, come in."
Lianne directed Leo Lynn to place the cake on the dining table, then handed him a red envelope.
After accepting the red envelope, Leo Lynn performed a full, proper routine of military-style boxing in the living room as a token of his gratitude.
She was so amused that a bright smile bloomed on her face. In excellent spirits, she gave him another red envelope.
It had been a long time since she had laughed so genuinely on New Year's.
