Andre passed the drink to the passing servant. "Give this to Mia. If she asks where I am, tell her I'm in the study."

The servant, very obedient, always followed her employer's instructions without question.

Soon, Mia and Molly went to the living room arm in arm. Mia was still talking on the way, "Trust me. I know my husband." There was an unmistakable pride in her voice as she said this. The servant intercepted them, holding out Mia's personalized glass. "Ms. Mia, this is prepared for you by the chef."

Upon seeing the glass, Mia knew that she was supposed to have the healthy drinks of hers again. She waved it off lazily. "You can drink it for me."

Before the servant could respond, she asked, "By the way, where's my husband?"

Following Andre's instructions, the servant informed them that he was in the study.

Mia, pulling Molly along, made her way towards the study. The servant was left standing with the untouched drink.

Once at the door, Mia lightly knocked and Andre's voice promptly responded.

As Mia pushed open the door, her cheerful call 'Honey' instantly lifted Andre's spirits. Having eavesdropped on their conversation earlier, Andre was well-prepared for their visit. Molly, without beating around the bush, directly addressed her issue to Andre, "I've got something to tell you, but it's just a hunch..."

Molly repeated her earlier conversation to Andre.

Andre paused. "The day before yesterday?"

Molly nodded.

Both Andre and his wife had the same suspect in mind: Tom. Mia rechecked her own assumptions with Molly's and found them to match perfectly.
