The commotion at the door made Ivor stiffen.
'What the hell is Yasmine doing?! I don't know if Bonnie heard her. How will I explain myself if she did?'

Ivor was stunned as he covertly glanced around the room. He was in a temporary office, and his desk was cluttered with files.
Although he did not mind Bonnie

Ivor went silent and pondered how to respond. It was ironic—he had suspected his wife of hiding something before, but it seemed the tables had turned.
