Stanley sent out the message, but got no reply.

With nothing else he could do, Stanley kept his eyes glued to the surveillance monitors, watching Sterling and Barclay’s every move.

As a guy, Stanley could easily read between the lines and knew exactly what those two meant when they said that.

They were just using that whole meeting with Jason thing as a cover.

Most likely, they were planning to sneak in while Rebecca was changing.

Stanley’s guess was spot–on. They went up to Jason, claimed a friend’s clothes got soaked, and asked for access to the women’s changing room. Once Jason pointed them in the right direction, they made a beeline for it.

Rebecca wasn’t clueless; she could see right through their little scheme.

Rebecca grabbed her daytime outfit from the women’s changing area and changed out of her dress in record time, barely two minutes flat.

Her phone suddenly buzzed. When she checked it, there was a text. [Those two bastards are on their way. Heads up.]

The sender was an unknown number.

But Rebecca knew it was from Yannie.

Rebecca slipped her phone back into her bag, stepped out of the changing room, and took the elevator down from the other side before those two could show up.

Stanley let out a huge sigh of relief when he saw that. But before he could chill for a second, his eyes locked onto someone sweeping in downstairs, escorted by a whole crowd.

It was Stephen.

Watching Stephen effortlessly greet Jason and the group downstairs, Stanley quickly pulled out his phone and dialed Jeffrey. It rang several times before Jeffrey finally picked up. “Hello?”

“Stephen’s here,” Stanley said, his brow furrowing as he kept his eyes fixed on the figure downstairs.

Jeffrey paused for a moment, his gaze automatically drifting toward Andrea.

Andrea looked puzzled. “What’s up, Jeffrey?”

Jeffrey didn’t dodge her. He went straight to the point, “Where’s Rebecca?”

“Rebecca just finished changing and went downstairs. She hasn’t bumped into Stephen yet,” Stanley muttered, his eyes glued to the scene below, muscles still tense. “But I’m pretty sure he’s here because of Rebecca.”
