Elodie had no idea what Esmeralda was getting at.

"What's wrong? The payment went through, our project's up and running-what do you think is going on?"

Esmeralda looked even more bewildered. "I went to the real estate office today. You remember my dad bought me those two condos? I was there to handle the paperwork, and guess who I ran into?"

"Who?"

"Keith. You know, Jarrod's assistant." Esmeralda's expression was incredulous. "He was there to handle some property business for Jarrod. I got chatty with one of the clerks, and he told me the apartment Keith was dealing with is in Moonlight Garden..."

Elodie's face slowly hardened.
