Chapter 221

MARCO LOOKED AROUND THE office for the second first time.

"Is this supposed to be a bedroom?" he asked.

"Yes, but the air flow up here is...stuffy. Besides, it's just me. What do I need two stories for?" Fiona's answer was easy, practiced, and rolled off her tongue so well he almost believed it.

He did a walk-around of the room, glancing in the bathroom, peering out the windows. Orienting himself. She was hiding something, and he wanted to know what it was.

"Did Scott ever work up here? Spend time up here without you?" Marco was growing to like Scott less and less the more Fiona talked about him. And then there was her... She wasn't his client or his responsibility and yet...he was going to see this through.
