At 8 p.m., Jaylene drove to the vicinity of the Rivera Group. As she passed a chain convenience store, she hesitated momentarily before decisively walking in.
She picked up a box of Durex from the cashier counter and offered it to the cashier, ignoring the look they gave her. She just paid and left.
..
At 8:15, after much dawdling, she finally arrived at Rivera Group's New Estate.
The office building was pitch-black, presumably, all the employees had gone off work. The security did not stop her when she went in, he even kindly pointed her to the VIP elevator, perhaps, due to the dim light, having mistaken her for Aurora Richardson.
She went straight to the CEO's office at the penthouse, the light in Joseph Thompson's office was still on, presumably waiting for her.
She hesitated outside the door for a long time until her mobile phone vibrated, only then did she lift her hand and gently knocked on the door.
