Chapter 46: Sinclair Villa
As the car approached the gates of Sinclair Wine Estate, the gnawing feeling in Rain’s heart deepened. She looked around the picturesque vineyards and elegant architecture before her, but it only heightened the tension twisting in her stomach.
She knew Alexander would definitely come there, and after the way she tricked him in the morning she dreaded the thought of facing him again. Her sweaty palms and trembling legs made her feel like a goat tied in to lure a tiger!
She wanted to avoid Alexander to keep his curiosity about Twilight at bay. She had to perform at the Gentlemen’s Club the next night, and if he also attended and everything went smoothly as planned then she would be able to plant the remaining spyware in Madame Beck’s office. After that was done she would finally come clean to him afterward.
"I’ll tell Alexander to give you a tour of the vineyard," Mr. Rock’s excited voice brought her back to reality and Rain, nervously fiddling with her ring, could only run a hundred excuses through her head to avoid another confrontation with him.
A tour of such a beautiful place sounded pleasant, but not with Alexander— and definitely not when it would most likely turn into an interrogation session.
The car finally stopped, and Rain felt her heart skip a beat. Mr. Rock exited with his signature smile plastered on his face, but Rain hesitated, taking a deep breath to steady herself.
As she stepped out, the fresh scent of grapes and earth filled the air. Rain noticed that the Sinclair Mansion Villa was an architectural masterpiece from a bygone era. "It’s so beautiful!" she gasped as she took in the mesmerizing beauty of her surroundings.
"I’m glad you like it dear. This was my wife’s favourite place, she always preferred this kind of abode, away from the loud and noisy city," Mr. Rock commented, and Rain couldn’t agree more.
As they were talking, an older-looking man approached them and greeted them with a courteous bow, and said especially to Mr. Rock. "Sir, welcome back!"
