"I already did what you ask me to do."

Robert turned to him and smiled. "Good. You chose the right momentum when you asked that question."

He took the thick envelope and handed it to him. "This is your payment." The journalist took the money excitedly as he couldn't wait to spend all this money.

"Thank you, sir. If I may wondering, why the question is about her parents?" Robert lips curled up into a smirk.

"There is something that are not meant to be find out."

He turned towards the door to leave but then it got locked. "Keep this a secret. I don't want anyone including Claire to find out about this."

He nodded. "Of course, sir. Leave it to me. I will keep this a secret. I won't even talk about this." He left the car and walked in the opposite direction to what he came from.
