Alexander's head snapped toward her the moment she collapsed. His brows furrowed, and he quickly closed the distance between them.
"Veronica!" His deep voice carried an edge of urgency, and without hesitation, he bent down, scooping her up in his arms.
"Call the doctor!" he barked at Derek as he carried her out of his office. His strong arms held her firmly, his steps quick yet controlled as he laid her down on the plush bed in the separate lounge area within his office.
Veronica, even in her act, could feel the warmth of his arms around her, and inwardly, she smirked. Everything was going just as planned.
After laying Veronica down on the bed in the adjacent room of his office, Alexander turned away without a second glance.
His jaw tightened as he pulled out his phone and dialed Oliver's number. The call connected instantly.
"Get the team ready," Alexander ordered, his voice cold and authoritative. "Find Lily. I want her location within the hour."
