Xante scanned Aaron coldly before looking inside the presidential suite. "What were you doing?"
Aaron shrugged and smiled mischievously. "Well, isn't it obvious I just took a shower?"
Xante pushed him away and walked into the suite. She expected to see a naked woman inside, but there was no sign of any debauchery. The bed was clean and empty.
She turned around to ask, "Where's that girlfriend of yours?"
Aaron closed the door and continued to dry his hair with another towel. "Ugh, I sent her home. What's the point of coming to the hotel with me if she's not going to let me touch her?"
Xante pushed her gold-rimmed glasses up, pulled a chair, and sat down.
"There are other ways to make Miss Annie hate you without humiliating her, you know. How could you ask her to get you some condoms when you know how much she likes you? That's low, even for you. It's no wonder the boss is mad at you right now."
Aaron threw his towel aside and flopped down lazily on the bed. "Xante, don't you think you and the boss are asking a lot out of me? Does Miss Annie look like she has given up on me? How can I make her give up on me without making her hate me?"
Xante took out her phone and nodded at him. "Get up and put on your clothes."
Aaron did as she asked. "Are we going somewhere?" he asked while getting his clothes.
"I'll tell you once all your clothes are on." Xante put her phone upright on the table.
Thus, Aaron went to the bathroom to put on his clothes and after he came out, he said, "Let's go! Where we go—ouch!"
Xante punched him hard in the face before he could finish his sentence.
Xante could tell Aaron was hinting at something. She lifted her foot and turned off the video recording before asking, "What did you find out?"
Aaron got up and dusted himself. To his credit, he did not hold a grudge toward Xante for beating him up. Instead, he got straight to the point.
"Lately, I've been feeling something was off about Jeremy. On the surface, it looks like he really cares about the boss, yet he refused to get legally married to her. The boss might pretend she doesn't mind the whole thing, but deep down, it's a different story.
"When I heard Jeremy was going on a business trip today, I immediately asked someone to find out which flight he was on and then arranged for somebody to keep an eye out for him at Molomia's airport. Guess what? My hunch was correct! He really did go to Molomia to meet up with a woman!"
"What woman?" Xante asked with a frown.
Aaron picked up his phone from the bedside table and offered it to Xante. "Take a look at it yourself."
