There was no more trouble from Joyce since the morning. It could be that she had left work early due to being in a bad mood.

“Ms. Stovall, may we speak in private?” inquired Joseph.

I felt the prying glances from all around me, so I nodded uneasily. “Sure!”

We left my office and came to a quiet area. “Mr. Campbell, is there anything I can help you with?”

I instinctively wanted to reject but nodded after some hesitation. “Where is he?”

“The hotel’s parking lot!”

I nodded. “Okay!”
