Sunny looked at the woman and confirmed once again that the woman was Sophia. She headed to the


    room that Lucas entered earlier.


    “Lucas is meeting Sophia?” Sunny muttered to himself. He was taken aback by the unexpected


    encounter.


    He ran back to the room and called Corinne. His tone was anxious as he said, “Corinne! You need to


    come here right now!”


    Corinne responded impatiently, “Just how long are you going to keep this up?”


    Sunny pleaded anxiously, “I’m not trying to make a fuss! Do you know who Lucas came to meet?”


    Corinne replied disinterestedly, it’s none of my concern.”


    Desperate to keep her on the line, Sunny blurted, “It’s Sophia! He’s here with Sophia!”


    Corinne’s fingers froze while she was typing. “What did you say?”


    Sunny was on the verge of tears after finally getting Corinne to pay attention. “I’ll send you the address.


    Come over right now! We can’t let that woman trick Lucas!”


    After a brief pause, Corinne said, “Fine. Text me the hotel address and room number.”


    Sunny hung up and immediately texted her the hotel details.


    Corinne stopped working and narrowed her eyes as she read the address. Unlike Sunny, she was not


    concerned that Lucas and Sophia were having an affair. Instead, she was troubled by the possibility


    that they met at the hotel to discuss matters rted to thend auction. He doubted that Lucas would


    initiate a hotel meeting, so it was very likely Sophia arranged it. Corinne was worried that Sophia might


    be up to her old deceitful tricks again.


    Consumed by her concern, Corinne assigned some tasks to her secretary and picked up her


    belongings before leaving her office.


    As soon as she arrived at the hotel, Corinne knocked on the room number that Sunny had sent long,


    Sunny opened the door and ushered her in. He then shut it discreetly behind her. “You’re finally here!”

    Corinne shot him a look that chided him for being so paranoid. “What’s the situation now? Is he still


    with Sophia?”


    Sunny nodded. “I think so. He hasn’t left since Sophia entered. They’re in the room next to ours.”


    Corinne acknowledged that and promptly turned to exit.


    Sunny was a little puzzled at her behavior and asked, “Where are you going?


    “I’m going over to knock on their door and get to the bottom of it,” Corinne replied. “We should confront


    them together.”


    Sunny seemed to feel conflicted over that idea. “So we’re just going to knock on the door? I’m not sure


    if that’s a good idea…”


    Corinne raised an eyebrow. “What other choice do we have? If you don’t want to go, I’ll go on my own.”


    Sunny hesitated and said, “I’m just worried that we might see something we shouldn’t…”


    Corinne offered a disdainful smile. “We’re all adults here. What’s there to be embarrassed about? If


    you’re ufortable, you can just sit here while I check things out on my own.”
