Chapter 29: Brown Envelope
The next day in Pearl Resort...
Greg was jolted awake by the loud ring of the service phone in his villa. At first, he ignored it, but then he suddenly remembered the instructions he’d given to the resort manager. He quickly jumped up, headed to the living room, and answered the call.
"Did Cammy respond to my message?" he asked, skipping any formal greeting.
[I’m sorry, who?] the voice on the other end inquired, causing Greg to roll his eyes after recognizing the voice.
"What do you want, Harry? You could’ve just called me on my cellphone," Greg replied sarcastically.
[I did, but you weren’t picking up. I called reception to forward the call, thinking something might have happened,] Harry explained.
"Oh, I must have put it on silent while drinking last night."
[You’re drinking again? I told you to stop and forget about that woman. There are more important things to focus on,] Harry scolded while referring to Greg’s ex-fiancee.
"Like what?" Greg asked lazily.
[Like denying her accusations. Have you even seen the news or checked social media? Everyone’s talking about you because of what she said.]
"And what did the bitch say?" Greg asked, sounding uninterested despite his harsh tone.
