"If you were dating Joey, would you tell him?" Violette felt a bit uneasy inside, so she asked again.
Mike said, "Even if he were my wife, I wouldn't say a word as long as you don't want me to. You're my savior, and you'll always be the most important person to me!"
Violette breathed a sigh of relief and showed him the door.
The next day.
Joey, with a nasty hangover, made his way to the office.
Elijah glanced at him, "How did you get so wasted?"
"Mike got me drunk on purpose last night! I didn't have a chance to ask him anything before he knocked me out." Joey's head was pounding now, "I didn't get any info, but I did notice a scar on his head."
"A noticeable scar?"
"Yeah. He must've had brain surgery." Joey said confidently.
"Brain surgery is no small deal." Elijah frowned and whispered, "Ask him about it next time. And don't drink with him, just ask him straight up. Go home and rest!"
"Alright." Joey's head hurt like hell, but he was still clear-headed, "Boss, are you investigating Mike because you suspect Ms. Dennis?"
Elijah replied, "Don't you think she's strange?"
"Yeah! I think she's weird too! She clearly loves you, so why did she divorce you?" Joey was puzzled, "I know she's jealous of Makayla. But can't she be more tolerant of people with special needs? I'm kinda disappointed!"
Elijah: "..."
His words made no sense.
"Go home and rest. Don't come to work with a hangover in the future." Elijah turned and walked away.
Violette had no idea about Makayla's intellectual disability when they divorced.
He never blamed Violette.
