After some thought, Lily asked, “Don’t you think you might be wrong?”
Mike was puzzled.
“Why do you care where he kept it previously? It’s enough to know where it is now. Perhaps he had kept it with him or elsewhere, but he might’ve changed his mind now.”
“You could be right, but that’s not his style.” Mike pondered and thought what she said made sense. Still, he was unsure. “So what are you suggesting?”
“We stick to the plan,” Lily added, “Let’s follow what you said previously.”
“Noon tomorrow then.”
Lily nodded, then glanced upward and put her hand on his shoulder to stop him from talking. Before Mike could turn his head, he heard a mocking voice from behind, “I didn’t know how close you two were. I wonder if Mr. Russell knows about it?”
Rhea’s voice was shrill, and it was clear what she was implying.
Mike stiffened his face and turned to look at her. “I wonder if people outside are interested in knowing about you faking your death.”
“Do you think I would worry about it after showing up before you guys?” Rhea snorted and said indifferently, “I’m afraid the outside world is in chaos now, and no one will bother about me.”
Mike looked baffled.
