I had even confronted Hyacinth about it, telling her plainly, if she had fallen for someone else, she should just be honest. We could part ways with dignity.
But she had sworn, without hesitation, that she and Zavier were completely innocent.
To prove it, she had even sworn on her life.
And I had believed her until now when I saw the truth unfold before my very eyes.
At the sound of my voice, Hyacinth shoved Zavier away, panic flickering across her face.
But instead of explaining, she turned on me, her voice sharp with accusation. "Tobias, are you following me?"
I let out a slow breath, keeping my tone steady. "Think before you speak."
I gestured toward the table laden with food and drinks. "I have a business meeting here. I’ve been sitting at this table for nearly an hour. Do you really think a stalker would arrive before the person they’re supposedly following?"
Arnold Tucker quickly interjected, his expression somewhat awkward. "That’s right, President, Tobias and I have been here for quite some time."
His discomfort was obvious; after all, even a fool could see what was really happening.
But I caught the flicker of excitement in his eyes.
