Chapter 93

"Ms. Youngworth..." Douglas finally caught up with Hera in the parking lot. Hera glanced at him, expressionless, then opened the car's back door and got in. "Do you really trust Bernard to be alone with that woman?" Douglas asked. The heavy sound of the door slamming shut was her response. Perplexed, Douglas scratched his head, wondering if he had said something wrong again. He had seen Hera leaving alone earlier at the private room entrance. He teasingly asked, "Ms. Youngworth, why are you alone?" Then, Douglas noticed Hera's irritation grew. When he didn't see Bernard follow Hera out into the elevator, he realized something was off. He quickly took the elevator to catch up. "Don't worry, Ms. Youngworth. Bernard is very disciplined. He won't fall for her charms so easily," Douglas explained from the driver's seat. "Chad arranged for Bernard to meet Ms. Chime. As they say, one can't refuse their elder's kindness, and Bernard—" "Shut up and drive," Hera interrupted flatly.
