The police officer said, “We’re from the Emberbrook Police Department. One of your employees has accused you by name for tax evasion, misappropriation of company funds, and bribery. Please come with us for questioning.”
Sean felt like he’d been struck by lightning.
At 9 a.m., Quintessa woke up, grabbed her phone from under the pillow to check the time, and sent Snow a quick message on WhatsApp before planning to get up. But as she moved, she realized, why was she naked?
Turning her head, she saw a man lying next to her.
That man, with a sinister look, resembled the cuckolded husband.
“You scared me! When did you come? Now you’re so skilled, climbing into bed without making a sound.”
Tyrone replied coolly, “Yeah, if I hadn’t been quiet, I wouldn’t have known that the first thing you do when you wake up is text another man.”
Tyrone had arrived an hour earlier. Getting Quintessa’s room key from the hotel reception was a breeze. Who wouldn’t help a handsome and wealthy guy?
Quintessa sighed, “I saw it and just happened to reply.”
She finished speaking, furrowing her brows. Was she explaining herself?
Before, she probably wouldn’t have cared about him at all.
“When did you get here?”
Tyrone wrapped his arm around her waist, pulling her close, “Right when you were sleep talking and calling my name.”
Quintessa widened her eyes, “You’re lying. How could I possibly talk in my sleep?”
“You did. And you sounded so sweet calling my name. Call me once more, and you’ll find out!”
Tyrone spoke as if it were true. If Quintessa didn’t know she didn’t talk in her sleep, she might have been fooled by him. Quintessa pinched Tyrone’s cheek, “Babe, cut it out.”
