Sunny then said anxiously, “Wait, Corinne! That’s not why I’m calling!

Something urgent popped up!”

Corinne was typing on the keyboard as she asked, “What is it? I’m busy right now.”

Sunny continued, “It’s about Lucas. I have reason to think that he got himself into a mess.”

Earlier that day, Corinne felt that Sunny’s character had matured. Alas, his phone call made her

assume he reverted to his impulsive ways. “You should discuss this with the elders in your family, not

me! I’m busy with work, so if there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up now.”

Sunny pressed on, “Please don’t hang up! I can’t let our elders know about this, Corinne! With your

help, we can figure out a plan to set Lucas back on the right path.”

Corinne shot back irritatedly. “What happened to Lucas? Why are you so worried?” “I happened to pass

by the company at noon today,” Sunny began, “and I saw Lucas driving out alone. Curiosity got the

better of me, so I followed him and saw him check into a hotel. He chose a presidential suite-and

during lunch, of all times! Isn’t that weird?”

Corinne felt that Sunny tailed Lucas because he had nothing better to do.” There’s nothing suspicious

about checking into a hotel at lunchtime. Your brother is an adult. He has his reasons. It’s rude to pry

into other people’s privacy, which includes your brother.”

Sunny became increasingly anxious. “Hear me out! After he checked in, he knocked on the door of the

presidential suite opposite him and went inside. It’s been a while, and he still hasn’t come out yet!”

Corinne massaged her temples and asked, “So you’ve been waiting outside the door and spying on

your brother to see who he’s meeting in the presidential suite?”

Sunny raised his voice in frustration. “Oh, come on! Haven’t I made it clear enough? Why don’t you

understand the gravity of this situation? It’s not normal at all! If he wanted to meet someone, he

could’ve just knocked on the door and entered. Why would he bother checking into the opposite suite?

Something is obviously not right!”

Corinne sighed. “Just because your brother is acting differently doesn’t mean you can stalk him! You

have no right to invade his privacy. Go and do something productive, or I’ll give him a call right now and

tell him that you’re spying on him! Let’s see how he deals with you when he finds out!”

Sunny panicked, “No, no, no! Please don’t call him! I’m only calling you because I trust you! Please

don’t expose me! I’m worried that Lucas might be having an affair with a married woman. I want you to

come with me to check what’s going on. I’m too afraid to do it alone. We need to stop him from going

any further if he’s having an affair! If that doesn’t turn out to be the case, then you can help mediate the

situation so he won’t be too angry with me and beat me to a pulp.”

Corinne retorted, “Why should I be bothered about your brother’s affairs? Stop trying to make a fuss

out of nothing! Your brother isn’t the type to get involved in that sort of stuff! Didn’t you want to come

with me and pick the kids up after I’m done with work? You can still make it in time for me to bring you

along if you make a move from that hotel. I’m not going to wait for you if you’re late.”

Sunny conceded. “Fine. I’ll just treat it as though I’m overreacting. I’ll head over to meet you soon.”

As he made his way to the door with frustration and took the access card with him, he was still unable

to shake off the feeling that something was amiss. Even though Lucas might not be involved in an

affair, the secretive rendezvous suggested some sort of hidden agenda.

Sunny was contemplating that as he waited for the elevator. The elevators reached his floor, and he

entered the first elevator that opened for him. As soon as he got in, the other elevator’s doors opened

and a woman stepped out. Just as his elevator doors were about to close shut, he saw the figure of a

familiar woman walking past him.

He recognized the person as Sophia.

Sunny could not believe his eyes, and he immediately rushed out to confirm what he had seen.
