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.
