After Ben and Zachary stepped into the car, Ben urged the driver, “Drive now.”

 

“Got it.”

The moment the car sped off, Ben let out a sigh of relief. He then muttered, “Lupine was staring at us when we were going down the stairs earlier. That was frightening.”

“That’s all in you?”

Zachary was calm, for he was sure that Charlotte had not figured anything out yet; he was confident in his acting skills.

 
 

“Ms. Lindberg didn’t figure anything out, did she?” Ben asked. “She actually invited you to her room tonight. Was she suspecting that something was up? Was she trying to sound you out?”

“Um…” Ben fell silent.

“I guess she’s suspicious.” Zachary stopped messing with Ben as he resumed his solemn demeanor. “I’ll have to avoid her these few days. Tell Marino to be wary of the words that leave his mouth.”

“Understood.” Ben nodded. In a softer voice, he said, “Your phone has been ringing since earlier. I think Ms. Gold is calling you.”
