Chapter 76

Chapter 76

Estrella’s surprise had barely registered when Korey’s sedan rolled to a stop beside her. “Are you here on business too?”

Estrella nodded, “Yeah, just gathering some info from the locals for a case.”

Korey offered a casual smile. “Since we’ve bumped into each other, let’s grab dinner together.”

Before Estrella could respond, a sleek black Maybach pulled up beside the sedan. The front window slid down leisurely, and Jason’s voice floated out, “Sure thing! I’ve already

made reservations.”

Upon hearing Jason’s familiar voice, Estrella turned to see him resting both hands on the steering wheel. There was a cigarette between his fingers, and his gaze was icy as it landed on her. He had the look of someone who caught his wife cheating red-handed.

Korey spotted Jason and chuckled, “Jason’s here too.”

Jason took a drag of his cigarette and replied nonchalantly, “Yep! Tagging along with the wife on her work trip.”

After extinguishing what remained of his cigarette in the ashtray, Jason’s indifferent eyes met Estrella’s. “Get in.”

Seeing this, Estrella glanced back at Korey and said, “I’ll see you later, Korey.”

“See you in a bit,” Korey said before instructing his driver to follow Jason’s car.

Inside the Maybach, Jason turned to Estrella with a sarcastic edge. “You sure seem cozy calling Korey by his first name.”

Estrella retorted, “I had no idea he was here. We just ran into each other, okay? Don’t
