with her? They stood at the door and nodded to Daley. Were they there with him, or her? I couldn’t work it out.
“Good morning.” She smiled at Daley, taking a seat opposite him. Her movements slow and measured. She’d always been like that, always aware of her body and how to have the greatest effect on people. Mainly men, that was something that I realized after I had left her.
I sat and listened but all they talked about was the charity and the new building that they had drawn plans up for. By all accounts, it was a normal business meeting, and by the time Serena left the room, I didn’t know anything more than I already did when I had arrived.
The only thing that I was sure about, was that they weren’t working together. They would have mentioned something surely? Even if it was a small detail. That meant that it was either Daley or Serena.
The two men exited the room after Serena and I was about to swipe off the screen to see where they went when Daley’s phone rang.
“Yo.” I snorted at his greeting, he was an obnoxious piece of shit.
“Yeah, is the next shipment ready to be picked up?” He asked with a smirk on his face.
Whatever they said on the other end, he didn’t like it, because his face started to go red and his hands clenched into a fist at his side.
“Tomorrow night, I mean it. Don’t let this one get away,” he growled down the phone. “I want it taken straight to my safe place. No stops in between.”
He pulled the phone away from his face and tapped the screen before shoving it into his pants. He closed his eyes, composing himself, then did the button on his suit jacket up and opened his eyes.
You’d have never known he had just lost his cool if you saw him then. Pulling the door open, he walked out of the room as if nothing had happened.
Pressing the screen to take me back to the icons, I watched him walk back through the hotel, the henchmen followed him and he gave them a slight nod as he got into the waiting Bentley. Looked like they were there for him after all.
It seemed there was more to Daley that what we had originally thought.
While we waited for Ty to get back from his surveillance job, I decided to be productive.
I collected the files of information that Evan had gathered on Daley and Serena and spread them out on the floor in the office.
Evan had said that they had gone through them and couldn’t find anything, but it didn’t hurt to go over them again. Especially when I had a gut feeling about Serena.
All of the information on her was the basic stuff, she came from a good family, was one of the top kids in her class and married Ty right out of high school. It read like the perfect life but I knew there was no such thing.
Everyone had secrets that they tried to hide. It was finding out where they were that was the hard part. When I came across their marriage certificate, I had to cover it with another piece of paper, I couldn’t bear to look at it.
Was it childish? Probably. It was better than burning it though, which is what I really wanted to do.
I carried on reading her file, noting all of the charities that she had worked for since Ty had left her. She’d been all around the world helping these charities and I kind of hated her for that.
The more I read, the more I started to doubt myself. Maybe I had imagined the look in her eyes?
Maybe it was jealously.
My thoughts were whirling in my head, and it didn’t ease up any by the time Ty came back.
“Kay?” he asked, coming to stand next to me. “What are you doing?”
I tilted my head right back and looked at him upside down. “Just looking through these. Seeing if I can find something that we might have missed.”
He nodded and held his hand out to me. “Ready for the meeting?”
I turned around, pushing all the papers back a little and making sure that I didn’t step on any of them. Placing my hand in his so he could help me up.
He wrapped his arms around me, a soft smile on his face. His
