Preston looked up suddenly.
Seeing the surprise in his eyes, Melanie asked in displeasure, "What, you don't want to go?"
"No, I want to."
"Oh?" Melanie raised an eyebrow playfully. "So you really want to go to a hotel with me!"
Going to Daphne's friend's hotel was originally just to talk business, but Melanie made it sound like they were going to do something scandalous.
Seeing Preston's serious, frowning face, Melanie couldn't help but chuckle secretly.
Daphne curled her lips beside them.
No matter how you looked at it, Melanie was intentionally flirting with Preston.
If she liked him so much, why did they even break up?
Could it be... some kind of roleplay?
Daphne shook her head, suspecting Melanie was into some wild stuff.
"Alright, alright, I won't be a third wheel here... or rather, you two stop acting like security guards in my lobby. I need to get ready for tonight's rush! Go get a room!"
Urged by Daphne, Melanie had no choice but to leave with Preston, heading toward the couples-themed boutique hotel run by Daphne's friend.
At Mr. Sterling's wellness club.
Shawn Sterling rushed back only to find no police cars parked at the entrance, and naturally, no cops searching the premises.
"What's going on?" Shawn asked the club manager.
"Mr. Sterling, the police suddenly left just five minutes before you returned..."
Before the manager could finish, Shawn slapped him hard across the face.
"Useless!"
The manager was stunned but didn't dare say a word, only apologizing obediently.
Shawn realized the truth.
He had been played by Preston.
From the very beginning, Preston had no intention of actually having the cops investigate him.
However, Shawn had a guilty conscience.
