Chapter 975

It was no surprise that Joe was likely meeting with Vera. Skylar gave a soft, self -deprecating laugh and closed her eyes again.

It might be best to cancel tomorrow’s wedding photo shoot. She gathered her thoughts and quickly fell asleep.

After leaving the room, Joe went to the hotel rooftop. The wind was a bit strong up there. He lit a cigarette and took slow drags, watching the smoke drift away with the evening breeze.

About ten minutes later, he made a call to someone in Jipsburg. “Do you know what Aiken has been up to lately?”

“Aiken? He seems to be out of Jispsburg at the moment. He’s been abroad for the past couple of days. Someone asked him for a favor, but he postponed it until about ten days later. I’m not sure which country he’s in right now.”

Joe was silent for a few minutes, taking a deep drag on his cigarette. “Are you sure?”

“Absolutely. Are you looking for Aiken for something, Mr. Martin?”

Joe smirked slightly. “It’s nothing.”

He slipped the phone into his pocket.

Suddenly, he heard some noise behind him. He glanced back, and his eyes darkened when he saw the person.
