Taylor Family Manor.
"Has Melissa still not returned?"
"Ms. Melissa"
The butler hesitated before the composed and handsome man, not daring to withhold any information.
"She probably won't be back tonight."
Staying out all night?
Taylor paused as he loosened his tie, his gaze sharpening with an unspoken authority. "Where did she go?"
"Disneyland in Tokyo," the butler answered truthfully, then quickly added in Melissa's defense, "She didn't know you were returning today.
She only left this afternoon."
Disneyland?
At least it wasn't some questionable place. The coldness in Taylor's eyes gradually faded, his handsome features softening once more.
"What about Mr. Vicente?"
Taylor and Vicente were friends.
Saying Vicente was hired to protect Melissa was more like calling in a favor.
Whether to provide close protection or not was never something he insisted on.
It all depended on Vicente's own willingness. The butler nodded.
