That sounds safe, doesnt it? Doubt lingered in the shaky ends of his sentences.
Matthew paused, his mind working quickly.
And who owns that hotel where Stellas staying? Fernando ? Fergando met his ve gaze, earnest and concerned. Ive looked into it top to bottom.
Turns out, Howard doesnt have any ties to the hotel.
