Chapter 248 Private Conversation
Jean and Jolene agreed to meet at a park near the police station.
+8 Pearis
Jolene was dressed down today, wearing a soft gray hoolie that made her look fresh and relaxed. She waved the moment she spotted Jean, flashing an easy smile. “Over here.”
Jean had just stepped off the bus, but her eyes instantly locked on Jolene.
“Have you been waiting long?” she asked as she jogged over, sounding a little sheepish.
She hadn’t expected Jolene to arrive early.
Jolene glanced at her watch and shook her head casually. “Not really. Just a few minutes before you got here.”
“Let’s go.” She nodded toward the nearby police station. “Might as well head in.”
Today, it was just the two of them.
Neither Mindy nor Sofia would–be joining. Jean had made up her mind–she needed to talk to Asher alone.
There was something she had to confirm.
With Jolene taking the lead, everything went smoothly. They made it into the police station’s visitation area without any trouble.
After about ten minutes of waiting-
Jean finally saw him.
Asher.
He walked out at an unhurried pace, his expression unreadable.
Jean turned toward Jolene and hesitated, then spoke carefully, “Do you mind if I talk to him alone?“/
Jolene blinked at her, surprised. But she didn’t question it. She just smiled and nodded. “Sure. I wait outside.”
As Jolene exited the room, Asher reached the other side of the glass divider.
They stared at each other for a moment, quiet.
He looked thinner. His skin had that dull, pale tone you get from being locked indoors without sunlight. But his face hadn’t changed much. Still calm. Still cold
Still impossible to read.
Jean didn’t say anything right away. She sat down first.
