“Take Ethan with you.” I said and they both nodded.
As they walked away, my phone vibrated.
Paige.
I answered.
“Hey.” I answered.
“Everything okay?” She asked as I looked around the room.
“Not exactly.” I said.
“What happened?” She asked.
“Someone accessed one of the business accounts again.” I said and she was silent for a moment.
“Charlotte?” She asked.
“No.” I said.
“Are you sure?” She asked.
“Ethan is sure, and the evidence supports him.” I said and Paige exhaled.
“So there really is someone else.” She said.
“Yeah.” I said and she didn't say anything for several seconds.
“Jace, be careful.” She said.
“I will.” I said.
“You promise?” She asked.
“I promise.” I said.
We ended the call, and I stared at the phone for a moment before putting it away.
I wanted to tell Paig
