Chapter 350 Crew–Cut Man
I had my own car, but at this late hour, Charlie would worry if I went back alone. Thus, I just nodded.
Before I left, I wished Charlie a happy birthday and added, “If you’re free tomorrow, how about letting me plan the day?”
He gave a light smile and nodded. “What’s the plan?”
I grinned. “I’ll fill you in tomorrow. Just get some sleep and don’t overthink things for now. Remember, a world with flowers and great food can heal just about anything. After good meal and some rest, you’ll wake up to a brand–new day.”
He paused, then smiled and nodded. “Sounds good.”
I was not the best at giving pep talks, and my words might have been a bit corny, but they were true enough. I hoped he would take them to heart.
After our farewells, Inch and I stepped out of the villa into the courtyard, where a black SUV waited, along with a man in black sporting a crew cut.
He looked like he had been waiting for a while. As we approached, he asked Inch, “Is Mr. Yates all set?”
Inch shot me a look that was less than thrilled and told the crew–cut man, “Head on in.”
The man just nodded and made his way into the villa, leaving us to our own devices.
The guy had a vibe that screamed trouble. As he passed by me, I instinctively scooted away. Glancing back at me with a grin, Inch said, “Ms. Scott, someone will bring your car over tomorrow. I’ll drive you home tonight.”
I gave him a nod.
During the ride, curiosity was eating at me, and I blurted out to Inch, “Is Mr. Yates still tied up with something at this hour?” That guy earlier definitely went in to see Charlie.
The question arose as to why Charlie would be meeting with Mr. Bad Vibes at this time. What could they possibly have to talk about so late at night, especially on his birthday?
Inch’s voice was cool as he explained, “It’s not business. The guy is a friend from Silvana who probably stopped by for Charlie’s birthday. He was just really late, and Mr. Yates did not have the heart to turn him away, so he let him in.”
I raised an eyebrow. Who shows up for a birthday bash at the crack of dawn?
When I left earlier, I caught the look on that guy’s face. He seemed to have been waiting outside the whole time, like he was waiting for Charlie to wrap up before calling him over.
I had my doubts, but I knew better than to guess at other people’s business. I shook off the thoughts and decided not to dwell on it.
After the night’s drama, I was beat. My mind went blank, my head started to droop, and I was seriously struggling to keep my eyes open
all the way home.
We finally pulled up at the Scotts‘ place, and it was Inch who broke the silence. “Ms. Scott,

At the sound of his voice, I peered out at the familiar yard, nodded, opened the door, and stepped out.
