Chapter 59

Stroking his chin, he mused, “Could it be that someone dropped their body wash as they passed by and it spilled

right on your doorstep, and you were

unlucky enough to step in it?”

Narrowing her eyes, she answered, “Maybe, but the chances don’t sound too high.”

 

“Why do you say so?”

Tilting her head slightly at him, Sonia

 

answered, “Because I didn’t hear the sound of anything falling while I was taking a bath.”

Instantly, Charles stood up. “Then it has to be Tina. She and Toby are our only two enemies at this resort and since he couldn’t possibly enter the ladies’ room, that leaves only her.”

Sonia’s hand that was resting on the blanket clenched. “You’re right. When

at all.”

Frowning tightly, he grumbled, “So, if

this isn’t an option, what should we

do?”

After a moment of thought, she

proposed, “Unless we can get a recording of her admitting to deliberately harming me, all of our efforts will amount to nothing.”

“That won’t be easy.” With a sinister

smile, he continued, “But I can have someone threaten her while wearing a wire. She’ll fall for it.”
