The Marvelous Elijah's Return

Chapter 45

As Ryan tested his suitcase on the bed, he looked back when his room door burst open, and Mall rushed into the room. 

“What?” Ryan asked, tossing a t shirt into his suitcase, 

“Rookie just showed me this!” Matt said, holding up his phone in his hand. 

Annoyed, Ryan snatched his phone with a blank expression on his face and played the video, his eyes widened slightly 

“So when Boss and Peach went out... Damn!!” Ryan gasped as he listened to Peach confronting Jessica on the video. 

“Damn indeed...” Matt agreed with a chuckle. 

“Does the boss know that someone uploaded what happened at the bar onto the internet?” 

“Yeah, Rookie told him.” 

The room fell silent after Matt stopped talking, but eventually, Ryan broke the silence as he mumbled, “With the lies that Melina spread and now video of this Jessica person confronting boss, he‘s never going to escape the rumors.” 

There was a long pause, and then Matt frownes and said, “You think! The fact that he carried her out of the bar like that is going to make it harder for him to clear his name.” 

Sighing, Matt watched Ryan toss another pair of trousers in the suitcase and then mumbled, ** So you and Rookie are leaving today?” 

“Yeah,” Ryan muttered sarcastically, pulling another shirt out and throwing it into the suitcase. “We have the location of where Bryan lives and Rookie found out the perfect place to stay for the one month... Um... he has our hotel room book.”

When the brightness from the sunlight beamed through the window, Peach rolled over, opening her eyes slowly to stare up at the ceiling, and she let out a soft hum. “Mama,” Peach called out softly, her voice hoarse from sleep and hangover as she stared at Miss Grace, “Can… Can you turn off the light?” Walking away from the window, Miss Grace walked over to Peach‘s
