Chapter 31: He Said Yes
It was time to get some answers. He thought as he headed to the company's control room, wanting to see where Emma had gone.
When he got there, he simply told the staff he needed to check something. Since everyone knew him to be the Late CEO's grandson, the security control room operator didn't stop him.
He quickly rewound the footage till Emma's figure appeared in the footage. He watched as she walked confidently through the lobby, her head held high.
Jake felt a surge of anger in his chest as she moved toward the elevator. His heart raced, but he didn't stop the video. She entered the elevator, and for a moment, Jake wondered where she was headed since he didn't hear her conversation with the receptionist.
The camera cut to the top floors, and there, on the fifth floor, Emma stepped out of the elevator. Jake's stomach dropped. That floor housed the CEO's office—Alex's office.
The realization hit him like a slap across the face.
"What the hell does she want with him?" Jake muttered under his breath.
He could feel his temper boiling again, the heat rising in his chest. He needed to know what was going on. He couldn't just sit here, stewing in his anger.
He grabbed his phone from the table and stormed out of the room, with one destination in mind. He wasn't about to let this go.
The elevator doors slid open with a soft ding, and Jake stepped inside, pressing the button for the fifth floor. As the elevator ascended, he felt his pulse quicken. His thoughts raced. Emma had a reason for coming here, and Alex was that reason.
What did she have with Alex? What business did Alex have with his unfaithful ex-wife? He had to know.
