Anastasia suddenly couldn''t wait to see Autumn get caught red-handed. She


    wasn''t some kind of saint-after everything Autumn had put her through, she''d love nothing more than to watch her get what she deserved. Autumn had brought this on herself; there was no ming anyone else.


    As for Autumn, Herman wasn''t the least bit worried anything unexpected would happen. He went straight to the point and asked Dailey, "It''s prettyte-what were you doing at The Grand za Hotel?"


    Anastasia''s curiosity was instantly on high alert; she perked up, all ears. Clearly, something was going on with Dailey.


    Dailey fumbled, "Boss, I was just... passing by."


    Dailey couldn''t lie to save his life-he didn''t even bother toe up with a halfway decent excuse.


    Who just happens to stroll by a hotel in the middle of the night? Was he really not staying there?


    Dailey had his own ce in Riverdale. Why would he go to a hotel instead of going home?


    Catching the mischievous look in Anastasia''s eyes, Herman decided to y along and dug a little deeper.


    "So you just happened to walk by the front door?" Herman asked, raising an eyebrow. "That''s some timing."


    "Boss..." Dailey sounded sheepish. "Sophia''s here."


    Herman immediately caught on. “Alright, I''ll let you go.....''

    But just as he was about to hang up, Herman couldn''t resist teasing, "Don''t let the opportunity slip by."


    Dailey, clearly flustered, scratched his head. "Boss... I gotta go."


    It looked like he wanted to say more, but the words just wouldn''te out.


    Once the call ended, Anastasia turned to Herman, eyes wide with curiosity. "Who''s Sophia? Dailey''s girlfriend?"


    "More like his nemesis," Herman grinned. "Dailey broke Sophia''s arm once, and she spent years hunting him down. Back then, just hearing her name was enough to send him running."


    Anastasia''s excitement was obvious. "So why isn''t he hiding this time? He actually went to the hotel is something going on between them?"


    "Not exactly," Herman''s lips twitched with amusement. "Honestly, I''m curious myself why he''d go to the hotel. Over the years, things between them have gotten...plicated."


    "So, what does this Sophia do? To chase Dailey for years, she must be pretty impressive."


    "She used to be the president''s bodyguard-the only woman ever to get the job. During her three years on the team, the president didn''t even get a paper cut," Herman said. “If they really fought, I''m not sure Dailey would win."


    Anastasia''s eyes sparkled with admiration. "What about you, Herman? Could you take her?"


    Herman paused, thoughtful. "Never sparred with her, so I honestly don''t know." That made Anastasia even more interested in Sophia. If even Herman couldn''t say for sure, Sophia''s skills had to be something else.


    Anastasia had always looked up to strong women. If she had one regret, it was that she''d never learned any


    self defense-she would''ve settled for the basics  s


    It always felt safer for a woman to have some skills out there.


    "Honey, can you introduce me to Sophia sometime?" Anastasia clung to Herman''s arm, her voice soft and yful.


    He could never say no to her when she acted like this.


    Smiling fondly, Herman said, "Sure, I''ll ask her tomorrow. Maybe we can grab dinner together, but Sophia isnt the easiest person to pin down."  s


    "A woman who won''t even make time for you? Now I''m even more intrigued."


    Herman chuckled. "We''ll see."<fn5fde> This content belongs to find?novel</fn5fde>


    Just as Herman expected, Mr. Walker had people keeping an eye on Autumn.


    He''d just finished calling home and checking in with Mr. Taylor, getting ready to turn in for the night, when a message from his informant popped up.  s


    Autumn wasn''t home-she was at The Grand za Hotel.


    The moment he saw the photos, Mr. Walker was hit with a wave of rage, like the sky was falling.


    He kicked the table in front of him, sending it rattling.


    He fumed, feeling the sting of humiliation burning in his gut.


    His wife was actually cheating on him, and right under his nose.


    There was no way he was getting any sleep.


    He couldn''t wait for morning. That night, well before sunrise, Mr. Walker jumped in


    his car and sped back to Riverdale.
