Find Me In Your Labyrinth novel Chapter 2210

Last night, Dennis was riding high on liquid courage. In the wee hours, they ditched Audrey at the Blue Oasis bar and bolted.

This morning, with the alcohol long gone from his system, Dennis was hit with a wave of regret.

He didn’t even bother going to work, instead, he rushed over to Baron’s office to seek counsel, “Do you think Audrey will seek revenge?”

The Brights might not be at the top of J City’s social ladder, but they had more than enough pull to make life difficult for a regular Joe like him.

Baron was unfazed, “Chill out, man. I’ve got your back. Audrey wouldn’t dare lay a finger on you!”

That offered Dennis a sliver of comfort. “I’m gonna take a few days off work, just lay low at your place for a bit.”

Baron laughed at him, “Look at you, all scared!”

Dennis gave a sheepish grin, “Audrey’s always been fierce. I’m just worried she’ll take this to my office!”

“She won’t dare. She’s got a part in this mess too, she’ll just have to swallow her pride. Relax!” Baron reassured him, confidence oozing from every word.

Baron then lit a cigarette, his eyes gleaming with a sly light, “What about Sylvia, though? Are we just gonna let this slide?”

“Let it slide?” Baron scoffed, “I haven’t yet met a dish I wanted that I couldn’t have.”

Dennis added, “The drinks last night must’ve been tampered with by Sylvia. She’s too guarded, hard to get to.”

“If subtlety doesn’t work, we go in hard!” Baron said, a cold edge to his voice, “I’ve been too lenient with her before!”

Dennis agreed, “It’s time Sylvia and Gabriel saw what you’re really capable of. Otherwise, they’ll keep thinking they’re untouchable.”

Baron’s resolve only hardened, “Just you wait.”
