Chapter 203: Your Ex ...
After they’d finished unpacking and adjusting a few things around the suite, Jessica let out a long, deep breath and stretched her arms with a satisfied smile.
"I think I’m done with this part of the arrangement," she said, her voice filled with relief and satisfaction clear in her voice.
Davis, who had been busy on his phone the whole time, glanced up. Before he could respond, Jessica’s tone changed slightly.
"But... there’s still one more thing I need to do," she added, standing up. Her tone focused and her expression serious.
She walked over to her bag, unzipped it, and pulled out a small, sleek device. With practiced ease, she powered it on. A soft hum filled the air as the device lit up.
Davis, who had been quietly scrolling through his phone, raised a brow at her actions. He tilted his head, watching curiously as she moved around the room, slowly scanning the walls and furniture with the tool..
"What are you doing?" he asked, his tone calm but curious.
Jessica didn’t answer immediately. Her face was serious, focused. She walked across the living room slowly, waving the scanner around like a detective.
"I’m checking for hidden cameras or audio devices," she finally replied. "Ethan wasn’t the one who booked this place, and even if he had been, he’s not the one who cleans it. I just want to be safe."
Davis nodded, realizing she had a point. He hadn’t thought of that at all. Though he had a few friends and rivals in Noveria, none of them should know he was in town—at least not yet.
"Well, I doubt you’ll find anything," he said with a shrug, leaning back into his wheelchair. "But you’re right to check."
