It worked. I couldn't believe it worked so well. I had gone into Michael's compound immediately I got a text from the man I hired that Sheila was already out of the house. 

By the time I heard Sheila come in, I was already in the study with Michael, and he was looking at me warily before going straight to the point, "What are you doing here, Mr Knight?"

That was when I set my plans into motion and now it was all worth it. Stepping out of the study, I came face to face with Sheila. She didn't even bother hiding the fact that she was eavesdropping. 

As soon as I stepped out, she looked up at me with teary eyes while I acted surprised to see her. I schooled my expression to look shocked and wet stood for a while just staring at each other. 

I finally broke the silence. "Sheila…" I muttered. I wasn't even done talking when she launched herself at me, hugging me tightly.
