Chapter 10

Michael, who had been in the company's security room checking the CCTV footage to see where Evelyn had entered, saw her coming out of Derek's office, and he immediately hurried out of there so he could catch up with her.

He was quick enough to arrive outside just as she got into a cab. Michael made sure to stay on Evelyn's tail as he followed her from when she left Stone Corp until she arrived at The Stone's Palace. He waited in his car until Evelyn entered and disappeared into the hotel before he stepped out.

Crossing the street, he entered the grand foyer of the hotel, the polished marble floors echoing his footsteps.

He approached the reception desk, where a young woman greeted him with a professional smile and the smile grew wider when she recognized Michael to be their CEO's cousin. "Good afternoon, sir. How can I assist you today?" she asked, her voice as polished as the surroundings.

Michael leaned in slightly, lowering his voice. "I was wondering if you could tell me if any Evelyn Quinn is staying here. I have a personal matter to discuss with her," he inquired.

Although that was against the Hotel's policy, the receptionist didn't bother asking any questions as she typed swiftly into her computer and then nodded.

"Yes, Ms. Quinn is staying here. Is there anything else I can assist you with?" she asked, and Michael asked for the room number.

"Anything else, sir?" she asked, and he shook his head.

"That's all I needed to know. Thank you," Michael said before stepping back and exiting the hotel.

Now that he knew where Evelyn was staying, it was time he found out what she had gone to do at the office, Michael thought as he returned to the company.

The moment he got to the company, he went directly to Derek's office, and the secretary did not stop him as he went in.
