I had a much more important task to do than thinking anything about it. Ace wouldn’t sign if he gets my message and wait for me. I trusted that. But now I had to find out if someone else was with Arthur in his plan to destroy us. Because if we kick him out of our company and life after I expose him before Ace, it wouldn’t be that beneficial for us if he leaves a minion of his behind to continue to betray us.

Today was a very important day for him. He was close to finishing his plan. And if he wasn’t in the conference room and going to meet someone, then it must be something important.

Turning left, I came face to face with a long, wide hallway. A man and woman were busy in a conversation, but there was no sign of Arthur.

Continuing down the hallway, I took another turn. I knew he came this way because there were no other routes.

But where is he?

Then a distant figure caught my eye.

Still talking on the phone, his silver-head disappeared around the corner. And I followed. Thanks to my sneakers, it didn’t announce my presence with loud clicks, like heels would have done.

I stopped in my tracks once he halted before a staircase that led upstairs. But at the foot of the stairs, ‘No Entry. Under Maintenance’ was written in bold words on a whiteboard, a barricade tape stretched across the way in.

And to my surprise, he ducked down the tape and climbed up the stairs.

Why the hell would he meet someone in a forbidden place?

Of course! So no one can see him.

Should I follow him?

I hesitated. If upstairs was under maintenance, and then no one would be there right now. The workers wouldn’t be there at this time.

But…I needed to know. I wouldn’t let him do any more chaos.

With a determination surging through me, I put my phone in silent mode and went forward.

Once Ace gets my message, he will call me. And I don’t want to get caught while spying on Arthur. Especially when no one will be there for my safety.

I knew this step could cost me a lot, but I would do it for my Ace. I wanted this backstabber out of our lives.

Once I reached the upper floor silently, I kept a good distance from him. His distance murmurs could be heard, along with his heavy footsteps. I glanced around. Compared to the rest of the hotel, this place was covered with dust. And it was eerie. Not to mention the flickering of lights every once in a while.

I froze as he suddenly stopped in his tracks, his shoulders went rigid. My breath caught in my throat as he put the phone down slowly.

Shit!
