As the car sped along the road, Sunny and Lucas sat together in the back seat.
Suddenly, Sunny's phone buzzed in the pocket of the bathrobe he was wearing. He quickly declined the call as he did not dare to speak on the phone in the car during such a tense situation.
It was Xante checking in on him. After dismissing the call, Sunny planned to update her via texting. However, Xante's message popped up before he could finish typing his message.
[What's going on? Did the boss really go to your place?] she asked.
Sunny pressed backspace on the message he was typing and replied with a simple, [Yeah.]
He then added, [It's nothing serious. Just go to sleep for now.]
It was pretty late, and Sunny did not want to worry her.
Xante, however, knew Sunny so well that she did not buy his lie. After all, Sunny would never dodge her call if 'nothing serious' was happening.
[Talk. There must be a reason why the boss would go to your place this late at night.]
Xante knew all too well that Corinne had no love for the Riveras. Therefore, Corinne would not step inside their home unless it was necessary.
'Ugh, it's so hard to fool her.' Sunny sighed internally.
Soon, Jeremy brought the car to a stop in front of the fast-food restaurant that Sunny mentioned. Corinne turned to Sunny and asked, "Is this the place?"
Sunny glanced outside and nodded confidently. "Yup. But see, they're closed. Just like I told you."
The fast-food restaurant had indeed closed up shop. The doors were locked, and the lights were out.
Corinne shrugged. "So what? It's still the right place."
After that, she stepped out of the car.
