Chapter 31: All for a game
As Adyr waited and watched how the situation would develop, three men in suits entered quickly through the back door and headed straight for the reception desk.
"Take them away." Said the short, slightly overweight one with a firm, controlled voice.
Adyr wasn't surprised. They were likely internal security, the type that watched the lobby 24/7. If they had been monitoring from the start, they would have seen everything up to the final moment.
"Mr. Adyr, correct?" The short man asked, walking over as he dabbed sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief.
"That's me," Adyr said with a calm smile, looking as if he had no idea what had just happened.
"Apologies for the disturbance. I'll escort you to Mr. Victor," the man offered politely.
But there was something off. He looked more nervous than he should have been.
"Is she your girlfriend?" Adyr asked casually.
"Excuse me?" The man blinked.
"No? Oh, right. You're married," Adyr said, noticing the ring on his finger, then glanced toward the reception desk where the addicted receptionist had been standing just minutes ago. "So that would make her your mistress."
"Mr. Adyr, I'm not sure what you're suggesting. Please, follow me. Mr. Victor is waiting," the man said, his tone quickening along with the sweat forming again on his brow as he turned toward the elevator.
