Before Brittany could figure things out, there was a knock on her office door.

It was Holden.

"What brings you here, bro?"

"Bri." Holden looked worn out from days without proper rest. "I came to ask for your help..."

During those seventy-two hours, do you think Saskia was worried about me, or was she worried about her plans falling apart and getting a slap on the wrist?"

The club was filled with the scent of perfume, making her head spin. The restroom was crowded.
