Chapter 282 - Gregory Light (3) (2/2)

”Ah, you are back!” Greg cringed internally when he heard Rebecca's voice as soon as he entered.

He made an effort to smile, it was more difficult than earlier that afternoon since now he was tired and in a bad mood. ”How come you are not sleeping? It's late.”

”I could not sleep... and I was hoping that you will come back tonight.” Rebecca admitted shyly, telling him that she was waiting for him.

”It's been a long day...” He started rejecting her.

”Are you hungry?” Rebecca interrupted.

He was hungry, so he nodded.

Rebecca's face lit up. ”I will get the maids to put some food on the table. It will be ready soon.”

Greg was happy about food, but not so much that Rebecca is here. 'Why didn't she just go to sleep? Everything would be much more... peaceful.'

While he ate, Rebecca chatted happily, and Greg only nodded or shook his head. He could not even look at her for more than few seconds. She was a woman in mid-forties. Just two years younger than him... How can she compare with a radiant youth that is JoAnna? 'Oh, JoAnna... how I wish to touch you...' Greg smiled as his thoughts drifted away. Rebecca saw him smile and her energy shoot up, thinking that he is smiling because of her. She chatted even more enthusiastically, while Greg didn't even hear her. He was in his own world, imagining JoAnna sitting next to him.

When he finished eating, he stood up.

”Is there something else... you need tonight?” Rebecca asked Greg seductively.

Greg controlled himself not to grimace at her. He found Rebecca disgusting. But he could not reject her bluntly... he still needs Rebecca. To prevent his frown from showing, he faked a yawn. ”Rebecca, dear... it's been a long day. I really need some rest.”

”Oh, I see...” disappointment could be seen on her face. ”Well, good night.” She looked at him, still hoping that he will change his mind and spend the night with her.

Greg nodded, ”Good night” and headed to his room without looking back.

…

Next morning, Sophia called her sisters, Aiden and Jeff to come for an online meeting.

”Sarah, Aiden... did you do your magic last night?” Sophia asked.

Sarah burst into laugh. ”That is a very ambiguous question...”

Sophia rolled her eyes thinking how this sister of hers is getting more and more shameless. ”Ambiguous is your mind! You know what I mean... the bank accounts!”

Aiden was very pleased that Sarah called his performance from last night magical. Of course, neither Sarah nor Aiden were thinking about the bank accounts, but what they did in the bedroom after that.

”Done, as planned.” Aiden confirmed to Sophia while his gaze didn't leave Sarah who was looking back at him. The electricity between them could almost be seen through the video chat system.

Sophia did her best to stay calm and not to get into an argument with these two hotheads. ”Good.” She took a deep breath to compose herself. ”We filed the paperwork, judge was fast. The police went to arrest Gregory Light, but they didn't find him at home. There is an arrest warrant for him.” Sophia gave current updates from her side.

JoAnna was obviously nervous. Jeff hugged her and she leaned onto him.

”Don't be upset that they didn't catch him right away.” Sophia encouraged JoAnna. ”After all, it's not like he was sitting home, waiting to be arrested. Police is looking for him at spots he usually frequents. Expectation is that he will be found by end of the day. As soon as there are any updates, I will let you know.”
