Chapter 168 A Sense Of Unease (Two)

• Jessica had seemed unfriendly towards her, granted, but now that she thought about it, the lady had also seemed absolutely terrified of Melissa. Carol had noticed Jessica's expression as she was leaving the room, and when their eyes met, the expression that Carol saw in them was ... pleading ... as though she was using her eyes to beg Carol not to leave. She paused in her stride, wondering if it was just her imagination that was running riot, when her phone rang. It was Sebastian calling and she smiled in spite of herself. He was no doubt calling to find out how her visit with Jessica was going. Maybe she would even wait for him to come to visit Jessica, and then they would go back together.
• "Hello, Sebastian." She said into the phone. There was silence on the other end for some seconds and then he spoke.
• "Carol. It's my uncle. They found him dead in his bed some minutes ago. The CCTV camera shows your friend snooping around in his room and taking something from there. One of the maids claims that what she took was not what she was sent to take, because they saw her taking out the necklace that she claimed she had been sent to take out of her purse. This same maid said that she saw her acting suspiciously with my uncle and believes that she may have had a hand in his death. We don't know if that is true or not, but I just think that you should be careful with her, until we find out whatever it was she took out of my uncle's room and why she took it. Where are you, Carol?"
