Chapter 0263 , “Afternoon Ms Toussaint.‘ , *Afternoon Mr Payne,” I reply as I sit back. , “I like it when you call me that.” He says, sauntering over to my desk as the door , slowly thuds shut behind him. , “Keep at that and people will think we are together.” , “That’s not a bad thing.” He winks at me. , I shake my head as I stand up. “Mr Harrsion gave me these and I don’t know what to make of them. It’s Sebastian’s plan for Mr Harrison’s project. Why would Mr , Harrison give it to me?” , “Unless someone told him to give it to you… have you handled these with bare , hands?” , “Yeah…” , He frowns. “Go wash your hands and I need some gloves. It could be poisoned…” , I nod, quickly doing as he says before I retrieve some latex gloves from the first aid box, and pass them to him. , “So, did you find anything?” I ask as he begins examining the file.”, “Yes, and I think we might know who it was that Annalise met in my pack.” He answers, his brows furrowed as he examines the file. , “Who?” I ask, my heart skipping a beat. , “Check it out.” , He motions at his briefcase, and I pick it up, opening it quickly as he continues , examining the paper. , There’s a laptop inside and I flip it open and instantly recognise the lavender- themed décor from that New Year’s Ball. , My heart is racing as I watch intently, , “The man in the dark brown,” Atticus says. “Keep observing him.” , I notice him after a few seconds. He blends in well and I don’t know why, but his , posture feels familiar…. , Almost like an itch, you can’t quite reach… , I watch as he disappears through those doors and then the camera switches to that very corridor, where I had heard Annalise talking to someone in one of the rooms. , It’s dark and you can’t see his face as he walks swiftly down the hall. , “I feel like I recognise him…” I murmur., “We couldn’t get it any clearer, but when he leaves, there’s a clearer shot, and I think I’ve seen him around here.” He says, now leaning over me as he speeds it up a little , “It’s like he knows where the cameras are. He hides away well.” I say, not once is his , face at a clear angle. , “I think it’s on purpose because in the shot that I’m talking about, he seems a little , startled and it’s like he looked up on reflex,” he replies. , I watch as the man disappears into a room, and then I see myself coming down the , hallway. , “Still as beautiful as you were back then.” He murmurs , I look up at him, but it’s a mistake as our eyes meet and he’s a little too close. His , gaze dips to my lips before I quickly turn away and look back at the screen. , He chuckles lightly, brushing it off, but I know him better than that. , I hate that I’m hurting him too…. , He speeds up the video a little before he stops. , “Around here “he says, and that’s when I suddenly sit forward, my heart , thundering as the man turns his head sharply and at that moment I catch a glimpse , of none other than-, 15 BONUS , “Ethan…” , “You know who it is?” Atticus asks sharply as we both stare at the now frozen image , of the man on the screen. , I nod. There’s no doubt about it… now that I recognise him, I’m all the more confident , it’s him. , “Yes! That’s Ethan. He was and still is one of the most loyal drivers for the Kings.” , Our eyes meet, both of our hearts racing knowing that we have just found a new lead and maybe just maybe the mole. , Moonlight Muse Author , thank you for reading! , Komentar , Vote (40) , , Search the website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
