"He says he's not downstairs so you can come in," Shikera insisted for the umpteenth time, to her friend who refused to come into Ethan's villa but wanted to go to Raymond's instead. Since they arrived in Shikera's car a few minutes ago, Cyprian had insisted she didn't want to trouble 'Ethan DeLoach' and would prefer they went to the villa at the back for their research instead.
"But I'm going to restrict his movement in his own house," Cyprian gave another flimsy excuse while hoping that Shikera gave in this time. Why was her dumb head friend not understanding that she needed to see her boyfriend at this time?
"But..." Shikera started to protest when her phone pinged. She looked down to see it was a message from Ethan which read,
"I'm over here at the lakeside with Raymond and the rest so feel free to do your thing."
