I had undoubtedly put Alex in a tough spot, but I was determined to uncover the truth. I couldn’t help but wonder if the mysterious big boss behind him could be Ashton. Still, I quickly dismissed the thought. Ashton seemed too poor and far removed from the profile of someone wealthy or powerful. Yet, a nagging feeling lingered–something about the big boss behind Alex resembled Ashton.

I laughed, teasing him. “Ashton, it kind of feels like you’re trying to cut ties with her now that you’ve gotten what you needed from her.”

He didn’t respond, simply leading me further into the park. I glanced around at the newly illuminated lights and noted, “The lighting looks great now. We’ll need to check the overall effect later.”
