Love the Second Time Around Novel

Chapter 59 The Problem Is Solved

As soon as we entered the private room, Dominic and the others immediately started ordering food and drinks while I walked around by myself and checked out the room.

The room looked like a regular private room in any other karaoke bar. There was nothing remarkable about it.

After the waiter had left the room, I turned to look at the others sitting on the couch and said, “I’ve checked out the room. There doesn’t seem to be anything peculiar about it. I don’t think there’s any problem here.”

Benjamin chuckled and said in a rather patronizing tone, “There’s nothing wrong with this room, but when I casually asked them for a room, they immediately brought us here. Isn’t that a tad bit suspicious?”

I was speechless at his remark. For God’s sake, what are we doing here then? Are we really going to eat, drink, and sing ourselves silly?

“Patience is a virtue. Do you understand what I’m saying? Go and chill out with Louis. Relax, okay? We’ll talk more when Mitch gets back.”

I only realized that Mitch was not in the room when Benjamin said that. I did not even know when he had left.

I recalled that Dominic had mentioned something about surveillance footage. He probably went to get those… The police should’ve been able to get the footage though, right? So, what if something had really been caught on camera? Wouldn’t somebody have noticed it earlier? Ah, there’s no use for me to think about it now! I’ll just wait until Mitch gets back!

Dominic and Benjamin were lounging casually on one end of the couch while I sat next to Louis on the other end. My brother was very anxious.

Half an hour later, Mitch returned.

Without needing us to ask, he immediately announced that there was no surveillance footage available. The cameras in that particular area had been damaged.

What a coincidence. This sounds exactly like a scene from a TV show. I thought secretly to myself.

Although I had already expected it to go this way, I still felt a little disappointed, and Louis, too, looked upset by the news.
