---
But Amara was perceptive—she picked up on it right away and asked, “Wait, did you get fired because of me?”
Nora froze for a moment, not expecting Amara to catch on so quickly.
She hesitated, which only made Amara more curious. “It really does have something to do with me? What happened?”
Nora thought for a moment. Since Amara had already guessed, and there was really nothing to hide, she figured it was best to explain things to avoid any misunderstandings.
She began, “It’s about those photos from a few days ago…”
“Liliana has always been curious about who the father of your baby is, so she asked me to look into your business, and I went to investigate.”
“I found a few photos of a woman whose build looks a lot like yours, wearing a mask and a hat, coming in and out of bars and nightclubs.”
“I went to those bars to check it out. The club owners swore up and down that the person in the photos was Ms. Sullivan. So I just assumed it was you…”
Nora paused for a second, then went on, “Even though those photos pointed to you, I didn’t want to give them to Liliana. If I did, she would definitely use them to go after you.”
“So when Liliana asked if I’d found anything, I lied and said no. I was planning to destroy the photos when I got the chance.”
