Charlotte insisted on dragging Lucy upstairs with her.
Despite her reluctance, Lucy could not refuse, so she simply followed her upstairs.
As a man, it was not appropriate for Matthew to go up with them.
Not to mention, the decor of the store… Well, it was a store that sold lingerie, so it made Matthew uncomfortable to look around.
Matthew rubbed his eyes and thought that Kent should have arrived by now, so he called him.
“Have you arrived? How many men did you bring with you?”
Kent sounded a little lost, but he responded promptly, “Yes, sir. I brought everyone from Charleston along with me. We’re outside the store right now, but what exactly are we supposed to do?”
In fact, they had arrived a long time ago. However, without instructions from Matthew, they had no idea what they were supposed to do. All they could do was silently follow Matthew to ensure their safety.
Other than that, Kent noticed that Matthew was shopping with his wife! It turned out that his wife did not die, after all. No wonder he insisted on relocating his headquarters to Charleston.
However, if his wife was not dead, why did he hold a funeral?
Since the employees could not decipher what Matthew was thinking, they just had to wait for instructions.
“Just stay outside for now. If I need you to do anything, I’ll let you know.”
Matthew spoke calmly. He merely observed that Charlotte seemed off and assumed that she might be up to something.
However, he was not sure what she was up to. All he could do was hope that his suspicions were wrong.
Kent was mystified by Matthew’s words but still followed his instructions nonetheless.
Around eight people split into two groups, with one group watching from a nearby cafe and the other group lurking in the back alley.
While it was bustling downstairs, the upstairs was eerily quiet, with several secluded compartments arranged like a maze.
