Hank muttered to himself, “Yeah, right. Keep pretending. You've never been this excited about money before. “You obviously have a certain woman in mind.”

I started the car and spoke more seriously. “Mr. Ward, I just heard that Mr. Yates has made a new move. He has acquired a painting and sold it to an art dealer in Glarrialand for $200 million. The deposit was made today.”

“Painting? Which one?” Caden asked.

“The details are secret, so no one knows for now. But there is something fishy. Otherwise, they wouldn’t be so secret.” Hank added: “I’ve been in touch with the buyer. Would you like to meet them?”

Caden paused to think and looked at his watch. “Okay.”

Hank noticed the slight delay in his response and asked, "Mr. Ward, is something wrong at home?"

“It's a minor matter. Nothing to worry about,” Caden replied. It was hard to tell what he was thinking.

Hank slipped and said, “It's late. Mrs. Bennett is probably asleep already.”

Caden gave him a sharp look.

Hank knew something about Alicia, but he wasn't supposed to know they were living together.

“You seem to know quite a bit,” Caden noted.

Hank shook. “I've never been snooping around in your life, Mr. Ward. I may be curious, but I've always followed your orders. “I never crossed the line.”

“So how did you find out?” Caden asked.

Hank rubbed his nose. “Isn't it obvious? You smell like Miss Bennett.”

Caden didn't know how to respond to that.
