Chapter 40 A Mysterious Message

"That business from four years ago is still under investigation. I'm sorry, Mr. Arthur Hawthorne. I apologize for not getting it done," Shawn said.

Shawn had just picked up his phone when Arthur asked about the stuff from four years back, making his hands shake so bad he nearly dropped it.

"Don't sweat it. It's no small task digging up dirt my own brother couldn't find. Besides, we gotta be smart about our next move. No need to rush." Arthur was cool as ice, not stressed or pissed at all. For real, Frederick's gotta watch his step; one screw-up in a hurry could blow the whole thing.

Being born on the wrong side of the blanket, Frederick had clawed his way to the top. Arthur knew that they need to play it cool with Frederick.

For the next two days, Claire found herself cocooned in a tranquil haven within the hospital walls.

In the wake of last night's events, the manager of Eclipse Nightclub called Claire to extend an apology, assuring her that regardless of the hour, a cleaner's position would always be held Chapter 40 A Mysterious Message open for her.

Claire was taken aback when the manager would actually apologize to her.

Yet, she acknowledged her own part in the events at Eclipse Nightclub, making the apology seem justified. At least, she no longer had to fret over work.
