Chapter 148: Cole Scott; Finding Geo.

As soon as Cole ended the call with Ivy, he chewed on his fingernails out of exhaustion, his heart pounding with fresh

anxiety.

He was seated in his car, parked on Miranda Road, hoping that his computer- genius friend, Green, would call, giving him good news that he had either tracked Kim or Geo.

It was bad enough that he couldn't find Kim, and now he couldn't find Geo either. Aer the call with Ivy, which he could tell she was truly disturbed by Mason's actions, his anxiety increased.

He ran a hand through his hair, trying to ease his nerves. His phone rang and he quickly reached for it. Green was on the line, and Cole's heart pounded as he brought the phone to his ear.

"Hey Green, Cole said, his voice a little shaky. "Any luck?"

"Not yet," Green replied. Cole could hear a lot of beeping in the background. "But I am still tracking him. If he used his bank card or anything digital, I will find it."

Another negative answer, but Cole tried not to let the negativity seep in. "Alright," he said softly.

"Don't worry, I will find Geo, okay?" Green said reassuringly.

"Alright."

"But on the bright side, I found your girlfriend."

Cole's jaw clenched at the statement. "Kim," he said flatly. "Where is she?"

"She is in Rowway Hotel. I will send you the address," Green said, the beeping in the background now louder.

"Alright, thank you. Keep me updated on Geo. I really appreciate you man."

"Sure man," Green said and ended the call.

Cole sighed as he started the car. As much as it sucked to admit, he was stupid. He couldn't believe he had allowed a moment of pleasure to ruin his family's reputation.

He couldn't deny Kim had been good with her hands and her mouth and that damn pleasure had come at a price; opening up to her and paying her bills.

He wasn't mad at the 67-thousand-dollar hotel bill he paid or the 120 thousand he gave her after, he was mad that Kim used him. She had sold his personal information to the public and ran away.

Well, he was about to find her now and confront her about it.

His phone buzzed with a message and with one hand on the steering wheel, he picked it and saw that Green had sent the hotel's address.

Increasing the car speed, Cole drove to Rowway Hotel with only one plan in mind. When he got there, he handed the valet his keys and made his way to the reception.

Another fancy hotel, Cole thought as he approached the receptionist. One thing was known now, Kim had expensive taste.
