Instead of using her own computer or hiring someone to spread rumors, she chose to use the company’s computer. What was she thinking?”

Michael’s hand tensed as he turned to Asher, asking, “When did you start feeling that something was off with Lucy?”

Shrugging, Asher replied, “I can’t pinpoint it exactly. It’s just that after she returned from her trip, things started feeling off.” Whenever Lucy was around, their interactions with Owen seemed veiled, as if a layer of gauze separated them.
