Sunny shrugged his shoulders. “Okay, then. I’ll go for a walk there ande back at noon to get some


    lunch. Your treat, of course!”


    Corinne nced at him in disdain and ced down her coffee cup. “I’m pretty sure that’s the main


    reason you came here.”


    Sunny got up with a grin and strolled out. He did not want to disturb Corinne at work.


    Corinne sat alone for a while with aplicated expression on her face. She seemed to be in deep


    thought, but she soon got up and went to work.

    Sunny left to spend time with a friend who owned a cyber cafe in the city. As it neared noon, he was


    invited to join them for a meal, which he declined. Once he had enough fun, he left the ce and made


    his way back to Corinne’spany.


    One of his friends handed him a low-alcohol drink while he was gaming, so he felt that it was unsafe for


    him to drive. He decided it would be best to take a taxi.


    Along the way, he passed by his family’spany, and Sunny had a sudden idea. He asked the driver


    to stop the car for a while and took out his cell phone to call Lucas.


    “Where are you, Lucas? Let’s have lunch together at noon. I’m meeting Corinne for lunch!”


    Lucas replied sonorously, “My hands are a little full this afternoon, so I can’t make it. Behave yourself,


    and don’t make Corinne angry.”


    Sunny smiled heartily and said, “I’m not the naive kid I was ten years ago, okay? I’m a man now. I won’t


    make her angry.”


    Lucas responded, “I hope so.”


    Sunny then asked, “By the way, what are you so busy with that you can’t get lunch?”


    Lucas replied, “Grown-Up stuff. Don’t be a busybody.”


    Sunny was not too happy that his concern was met with a scolding from Lucas. “I’m a grown-up now


    too, Lucas! Forget it then, I won’t ask if you don’t want to share. I’m going to meet Corinne now. See


    ya!”


    After ending the call, Sunny was about to ask the driver to continue driving when he spotted Lucas


    walking out of thepany building’s entrance.


    Lucas walked toward a ck MPV parked at the door and told the driver to get off. He then got in the


    vehicle and started driving.


    The notion that his brother was driving himself and going to a private meeting intrigued Sunny. He


    recollected his brother’s earlier words about’ grown-up stuff and was further piqued by that.


    ‘Is Lucas in a rtionship? Is he meeting a woman secretly during lunch break?’ Sunny found Lucas’


    ‘romantic escapades’ to be more intriguing than having lunch with Corinne, so he told the taxi driver to


    turn around and follow the car.


    Lucas drove to the hotel where he stayed the previous night. Rather than check out, he swiped his card


    and entered the suite that he checked into the day before. The hotel was not very close to the


    company, and traffic congestion that resulted from a traffic ident meant that Lucas took more than


    an hour to reach the hotel. Edmund had been staying in that suite, quietly observing movement in the


    opposite room through a peephole.


    Lucas was concerned about the possibility of a trap, and that Jeremy’s promise to meet the next day at


    2 p.m. was merely a dying tactic. For


    those reasons, he stationed Edmund there to keep an eye on things.


    However, there had been no movement thus far, and no one had left the room yet.


    Once Lucas entered the suite, he took off his coat and sat on the sofa to check the time. It was already


    past one, and the agreed meeting time with Jeremy was less than an hour away.


    Should Edmund see Sophia leave, he would go to the other suite to hear Jeremy’s exnation for the


    three-year disappearance.
