Chapter 24: Naked Man
Ric watched Cammy, who was completely out, sleeping so peacefully that it was hard to believe she had been battling her own raging storm within her mind and heart, possibly including her soul.
"I promise I’ll do everything to help you through this storm, Cammy. Soon, you won’t need to drink just to find this kind of peace. Just hold on a little longer, and this will all be just a rough patch in your past.
We’ll build our new life together with Dylan. I’ll take care of both of you," Ric whispered, placing a soft kiss on her forehead before gently laying her on the bed.
After tidying up the place, he stepped outside to call the resort’s night shift manager.
"Did you find out anything?" Ric asked.
[One staff member said she stayed in the villa all night, and another saw her leaving just before dawn.]
"Good work. Pay them enough to keep quiet, and offer a more high-paying position to one of my restaurants, far away from the resort. My assistant will finalize their contracts and get them to sign a Non-disclosure Agreement tied to their contract. Let’s keep this clean and blood-free, if possible."
[Understood, Ric. I’ll wait for your assistant to reach out.]
After the call, Ric phoned his assistant, providing instructions before returning to the apartment.
