Chapter 302

Myriade was usually nice, but whenever Big T was involved, she would be impartial. Riley knew that about her, so he said, "What if this is related to Hesper? Would you still keep it from him?"

Myriade heard Renfrew's voice coming from her earpiece when Riley brought Hesper up. Even though she knew he wouldn't be able to hear them, she still felt nervous.

"Riley, I don't know why you're being so nice to the psycho, but a word of advice, stay away from. him or you might get burned." Myriade's expression was cold. "I'll speak to Big T. Anything else?" "Nothing else sweety."

Riley smiled, his protruding canine making his smile sharper. His friendly-looking face suddenly looked evil. "I just hope that you'll stop calling him a psycho. He hates it. Even I won't be able to stop him if he loses his mind, you know."

Myriade glared at Riley, who returned to his friendly look a second later. "Thank you, Mimi. I'll get you some candy-"

Hesper hung up after speaking to Seth, with more questions than answers.

Looking back to ten minutes ago, she heard Seth's voice and immediately linked it to the young cook from the other day. This was an unknown number and not the one he gave her previously. That was why she didn't make the connection at first. "Last time I called, someone else picked up." Hesper thought that he would call her again but he didn't, so she forgot about it.

Seth cleared his throat, then said, "I don't have much time, so I'll get straight to the point. You know about my restaurant in Genecity. When you go there this weekend, come see me if I'm there, but if not, wait for my call."

"Why?" Hesper didn't understand. "I don't know you very well, so I'd like to know why you're contacting me first. Everything you're saying now is just confusing me."

"...Please do as I say. I can't explain on the phone, but just trust me."

Seth's voice trailed off. After Hesper realized that he stopped speaking, she wanted to hang up, but then he spoke again. "Ms. Rivera, please pay my restaurant a visit this weekend."

Hesper tapped her pen on the paper on the desk. "Alright, I'll do as you say this time. I hope that it'll be worth my time. And I won't tell Nate about this before I see you."

"Thanks."

They ended the call. Hesper looked out the window and it was still bright outside, but she felt something stuck in her chest.

Why did it have to be set during the weekend? She wouldn't be able to meet Renfrew again.

She sighed again and sent Rickard a message. She hadn't slept the previous night because she was working, and maybe the sun was too warm and the call gave her some anxiety, but she suddenly felt sleepy.

After hesitating, she laid down on the table and took a nap.

Meanwhile, Renfrew looked at the results of the first test he ever took and was a little proud. If he had a tail, he would have wagged it.

"I didn well, didn't I, Ms. Myriade?"
