Halia followed the receptionist through the door into a secondary courtyard. This courtyard was smaller than the one she saw when she first entered, but it looked much more luxurious and private.
Sitting in the middle of the courtyard was a man drinking some tea. He had his back to Halia, so she couldn't see him properly, but he was the only person there, so she was sure he was her handler, Sean Qin.
"Mr. Qin, Miss Feng has arrived," the receptionist said before she turned and walked back out the door.
Halia stood awkwardly behind the man, unsure of whether to sit down or to start a conversation from where she stood.
"Come, join me, this tea is good," the man said as he took a sip of tea.
Halia was relieved that the man broke the silence first, so she quickly walked around and sat down opposite him at the round stone table. But...as she looked up, she felt her heart race.
It was the man from the cemetery!
Her handler...was Sara's lover!
