Fiona's phone vibrated but she ignored it, she was in an Elevator heading to Arielle's luxurious apartment located on the 44th floor. She knew it was Theodore calling her and he probably found out her location. If she answered the call she would be giving him an explanation what she was doing there in the first place. She sighed giving up on the idea of ignoring. She finally answered it and immediately heard Theodore's yelling at the other end. "Where are you ?" Fiona was relieved he didn't know, she realized he was too busy trying to take down the sex tapes of Dimitri and Delilah. "Did Delilah ask you to look for me ? Otherwise we have no business of contacting each other." Fiona said in a stern tone, Theodore on the other hand went silent for a few minutes, she heard him sigh before speaking again. "Come home there's a problem, send me your location I'll pick you up." Delilah didn't either know whether to feel warm by his choice or tone or worri

Theodore hissed as a police man unlocked the gates. Fiona walked out glaring at the police officer. "Thanks for the assist officer Bert, I hope your kids are doing well." Delilah continued complimenting the officer on how good he was on his job and just like in a trance he felt appreciated taking off his hat.Fiona rolled her eyes, she was still pissed the officer roughly handled her when she was arrested, her mind went back to how she lost her mind and slapped the fuck out of Arielle.
