Chapter 34-couple
Janet had just stepped out of the building and didn’t see Peggy’s car. She glanced toward the parking lot, feeling a flicker of confusion as Charles’s urgent voice came through her phone.
"What’s wrong?" Janet asked, catching the sharp tone in his voice. Somehow, she felt a bit annoyed — wasn’t he supposed to be with Elvira?
She looked around again but still saw no sign of Peggy’s car. Just as she was about to turn away, her eyes landed on a familiar black Maserati parked in the reserved spot.
A casual glance inside froze her heart.
Two men were locked in a passionate kiss.
Janet gasped and covered her mouth in shock. Her phone slipped from her hand and fell to the ground.
The two men in the car were none other than August and Manfred.
Suddenly, Janet remembered the matching diamond couple earrings she had seen on their ears before. Manfred had once said he wasn’t interested in women, and August, on the other hand, had a near-obsessive cleanliness when it came to women. Janet’s eyes widened in disbelief.
In just seconds, she quickly grabbed her phone from the ground and ducked behind a stone wall at the corner. This was a reserved parking area, and it was midday—no one would come by now. Charles’s parking spot was diagonally across from theirs.
