In the main office building.
Freya stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, gazing at the cars below her feet.
Her eyes flashed with a hint of unspeakable confusion.
Her mind was in a mess. She probably started feeling this way after learning that Rodney lied to her yesterday morning.
As such, she could not help but call Catherine. "When I had breakfast with Rodney this morning, we talked about Sarah, and I felt that his attitude was strange."
"What was strange about him?" Her words made Catherine uneasy.
"He wasn't as... disgusted as he used to be. It felt like h e was trying to avoid the topic. But I can't put my finger on what it is." Freya slid her finger over the window, not knowing why she did so, just like her mood at that moment.
"Could it be that you’re overthinking it?" Catherine fell silent for a moment before she comforted Freya, " Sarah has done a lot of evil deeds in the past. She even cuckolded Rodney and humiliated him. No man can forgive her."
A thought struck Freya’s mind. “Yeah. Whenever we used to mention this woman, he would make no pretense of resenting her. But today... I didn't see it on him. He kept lowering his head."
Catherine could not deny Freya's thoughts. As women, they had very keen senses when they were with their partners.
"One more thing..." Frey a continued uncomfortably, "A s you know, he was on a business trip earlier.
Yesterday, a friend of mine spotted him in Canberra in the morning, but he lied that his flight was around five or six in the evening. He only returned home at night and had even changed his clothes. I went to his office yesterday, but he wasn’t there or at Osher Corporation. I don't know why he lied to me..."
"I suspect... he's hiding Sarah," Catherine voiced out the thought that she did not wish to be true. 1
Freya instantly felt as if she was plunged into a deep abyss. She kept falling but could not reach the end. The feeling of being lost was miserable.
