Catching the spy

The man stared at Gavin's back for a long time while he waited for the other ministers to disperse. He had waited with them here on purpose for he knew it would raise suspicions if he were to meet the young minister outside the palace. But here, with everyone else, no one would suspect. Anyway, since the time Gavin had come out of the courtroom, he had not spoken a word. So, there was no need for him to worry about anything.

With that thought, his smile widened while wickedness flashed in his eyes. But he soon composed himself as he put up a brilliant act in front of the other ministers who had no idea about the snake they were rearing among them.

"What do you think about this matter, Minister Corey?" One of the older men in the group queried as the group started walking towards the carriages. Since Gavin had already left the castle, they had no reason to stay here anymore. Anyway, they had found out what they wanted to find out.
