I connected the dots that she probably made the reservation after she gave Ace a call. They probably decided to meet up here. As for why they had to meet up at the office first before coming here remained a mystery to me.
“Also, I bribed some of the staff here to help me keep tabs on Elizabeth…” Kyle confessed softly.
My eyes widened in surprise. Although I had to say that it sounded like something that Kyle would have done.
“So, they’re really here?” I mumbled.
What should we do now? Do we just wait here until they come out?
Then, what?
Let’s say hypothetically that we caught Ace and Elizabeth coming out of the hotel together and going to their private club, then what?
Would I just jump out and confront them and then ask why the two of them were together?
My brows furrowed when I suddenly realized that what we were doing was totally pointless if we didn’t plan to confront our partners. Then again, I wasn’t sure if I was ready to confront Ace about this. What if we did it and we got it all wrong?
“I’m sure that they’re here. I’m waiting for a message from the person that’s working for me to confirm if Elizabeth showed up and also who she’s with,” Kyle replied flatly.
“Since when were you such a pro at this kind of thing…” I muttered sarcastically under my breath.
If Kyle heard me, he decided to ignore my comment completely. I was so restless as we both waited for a text message from the one who was working for Kyle to send their report. Surprisingly, it didn’t take long for that to happen.
Kyle’s phone vibrated quite loudly, and my attention was immediately glued to the text that just appeared on the screen of his phone.
“Let me see…” I muttered as I tried to position my face so that I could see his phone screen better.
My eyes opened wide in shock before they narrowed suspiciously at the text that appeared on the screen of Kyle’s phone.
“Bingo…” he mumbled without much excitement.
According to the person that Kyle had hired, Elizabeth had arrived at the club, and she was with Ace. Everything that we suspected started to come true to my utter shock and disappointment. I felt cold and numb all the way down to my toes as I struggled to take in the fact that had just been reported. Suddenly, the air around me felt heavier and it got harder to breathe than before.
“Could it be…some kind of mistake?” I asked hopefully.
“I don’t think so,” Kyle replied solemnly.
Apparently, no amount of optimism could help improve the situation that we were in or what we had just discovered.
