Zac lowered his pare

“Not a bad idea,” he thought to himself. A girl in her twenties would be a much easier target than Steven himself.

“Mr. Gibson, should we head back to the hotel?” the driver asked.

After a moment of thought, Zac said, “Pull over in front of the mall up ahead.”

Wendy, assuming he wanted to shop for a gift for Steven’s cousin, smiled and said, “Zac, are you picking out a present for her? Let mee with youb. /bShe’s probably around my age. I know what girls like.”

The car came to a stop in front of the mall

“Huh?” The assistant hesitated for a second, then scrambled to open the door. “Oh, right. Of course, Mr. Gibson”

What the hell was that?

He just left her?

The assistant gave her an awkward look and scratched his head. “Uh… Miss Cooper, bI’m /bsure Mr. Gibson has his reasons. Well, I’m off now. See you around.”

He scurried away, leaving Wendy fuming. She stomped her foot in frustration and pulled out her phone bto /bcall Zac

Back in the car, Zac’s phone buzzed in his pocket. He didn’t even nce at it. His temples throbbed, and he rubbed them bin /birritation, letting the phone ring and

After ba /bmoment, he told the driver, “Take me to Brightwood Residences. Across from Jersey University.”

b“/bYes, Mr. Gibson

That was where Charlotte lived.

The moment the car stopped near the entrance, Zac spotted Sean walking just behind Chadotte as the two entered theplex together.

Zac jumped out of the car and rushed toward the gate, only to be stopped by the security guard.

“Sr bface /bscan, pleaseb./b”

Zaclied without hesitation just moved in. Haven’t had time to register. Let me through for now–I get it done tomorrow.

The guard frowned. “Then please show your ID and tell me your building and unst number so I can verify.”

Realizing he couldn’t talk his way through, Zac tried to push past him.

But the guard wasn’t backing down. He held Zac back firmly. “Sir, If you keep this up, I’ll call the police.”
