Chapter 34 A Tense Confrontation

“Chlo, I honestly don’t know. M–Mr. Murphy has someone, but I don’t know who she is.” Johnson’s confidence wavered as he spoke, “M–Matthew, ho…”

“You know he has another woman, yet you claim not to know who she is? Johnson…” I trailed off.

“Chlo, I swear I don’t know. He’s never brought her around. I’ve only seen her twice from behind,” Johnson’s confession left me conflicted. Either Matthew was highly cautious, or Johnson was lying.

As expected, Johnson seemed to relax. He sighed in relief and surrendered, “Sure! Chlo, just tell me what you need. I’m all in.”

“I want the concealed financial reports and the recent list of major clients,” I said firmly.
