"What's wrong? The full payment has already come through, and the project is up and running. What do you think?"

Justine looked even more baffled. "I went to the recorder's office today. You know how my dad bought me two apartments? I went to handle the paperwork for them. Guess who I ran into?"

"Who?"

"Michael, Lucas' assistant," Justine said, still in disbelief. "He was there handling some real estate matters for Lucas. I asked one of the employees about it, and they told me the property Michael was dealing with was at Peninsula Heights."
