Chapter 286
Brandon hissed, but I knew it was more out of sensitivity than pain. I felt him shudder, and unspeakable images flickered through my mind. I had to admit, I was a lot more wicked and demanding than I used to be.
After teasing him, I straightened up and nonchalantly took a sip of my coffee. I then turned smoothly and left like nothing happened. My teasing must have left Brandon stumped, for he went still and did not react for a while.
I returned to my office and sat down. The moment I set my coffee mug on the desk, I rubbed my face and burst into giggles. I didn’t know why, only that I couldn’t help it. I was happy–truly, unabashedly happy. Perhaps it was sadistic glee or impish satisfaction. Children were often happy when they got up to mischief, and I figured I was experiencing the same thrill.
I was still giggling when my phone chimed with a new message. I picked it up and glanced at the screen, only to see Eden’s text. He had sent me an address, and upon clicking on it, I was redirected to a map showing an industrial zone on the outskirts of town.
Zooming in on the location, I saw that it was a company called Finchworth Investment.
Why did Eden send me the location of an investment company? Was the text meant for someone else, or was it just an excuse to bother me?
I was still trying to figure out Eden’s intentions when he followed up with another text. “Go to the location if you want to see my dad.”
Did that mean Arthur had left the sanatorium?
I couldn’t tell if Eden was telling the truth or if this was a trap.
I didn’t like guessing, so I called Eden. When he picked up, he did not wait for me to speak and instead pointed out, “You don’t have to go if you don’t believe me.”
“You were the one who discouraged me from seeing your dad. I countered, throwing his words back at him. “You said he wouldn’t tell me anything even if I met him.”
So why would he send me the address of his father’s location now?
“Yes, I told you there was no point in meeting him in person, but you seemed insistent on getting to the bottom of the matter,” Eden said.
He added with a scoff, “If you don’t want to go, feel free to pretend you never saw the text.
I wasn’t surprised that the scion of the Griffins family would have such a temper.
Just as I was about to say something, he continued, “But I ought to give you a heads–up. Just because I’ve given you the address, it doesn’t mean you’ll get to see my dad.”
With that, he hung up before I could even get a word in edgewise. I huffed and considered my options, spinning my phone on the table.
