Chapter 130

After Ashford had taken off, Rex stepped back outside and leaned against the back door, watching me silently-making his message clear. He was assigned the task of ensuring I left. So, he was good enough to do Ashford’s bidding, but not good enough to acknowledge me beyond that. And, of course, he did as he was told to. It only made me wonder exactly who Ashford is, why everyone just immediately bowed to him and did as they were told.

I had made it to the Leisure Club late, avoiding Riley and Colton’s line of questioning when they noticed how shaken up I appeared, and did my best to be in the moment with them. But I only ended up staying for a little over an hour before giving up and leaving, unable to shake the feeling of being watched.
