The next morning,
Esther woke up late, exhausted from the long workout her husband had made her do the night before. Reggie had already been dropped off by Cyrus, leaving her house unusually quiet.
On her bedside table, she noticed a small note from Cyrus, asking her to take it easy and rest for the day. She muttered a curse under her breath, feeling half annoyed and half amused, and got ready for work.
By the time she reached her office, Rex and Thor were already waiting, sitting with serious expressions.
"What are you guys doing here so early?" Esther asked, taking off her coat and hanging it on the stand.
"We found some evidence against Andrea Smith," Thor said, looking straight at her.
"What kind of evidence?" she asked, raising an eyebrow.
"I caught Mark cheating on Anna. And on my way back, I saw Andrea doing something... interesting," Thor replied, his tone heavy with meaning.
