Even a series of behaviors could tell a lot. Stephen believed Simona was wealthy and that spending money was only natural for her. He felt perfectly at ease enjoying its benefits.
He needed Stephen to understand that while he could toy with other kind-hearted and innocent girls without consequences, playing with his sister, Simona, would come with consequences.
…
Time passed quickly, and soon it was 7:00 am.
In the absence of traffic, it took about 50 minutes to get from the city center to the airport. After checking out of the hotel, Ned and Rosa headed straight for their car.
Skylar happened to be on the road at the same time. As she neared the hotel, Jeremy called her.
"Skylar, Ned and Rosa are no longer at the hotel. They must have gone to the airport. Their departure was sudden. Just now, my team member in charge of cooperating with Ned informed me that he's temporarily leaving Jipsburg today and won't be back for a few days. Are you on your way to the hotel?"
Skylar slammed on the brakes upon hearing this.
"How could they leave so suddenly? Weren't they planning to set up a branch in Jipsburg? They have several projects and many companies with which to collaborate. Why would they leave at such a crucial time?"
Jeremy replied, "I'm not entirely sure about the specifics. It seems he had some sudden matters to attend to. You should head to the airport as quickly as possible. I'm not sure if you'll make it in time. Have you tried calling him?"
Skylar's throat tightened as she responded, "I've called several times, but he hasn't answered. We had some misunderstandings before."
"Let me try calling him and see what's going on," Jeremy said after a brief pause.
Skylar agreed and said, "Okay, I'll head to the airport now."
…
"Is Ned really Mr. Martin?" Helena wiped her still-damp hair and asked Jeremy, who was busy searching for phone numbers.
