Summer Sutton didn't notice the figure on the balcony. After saying goodbye to Manuel Ink, she entered the garden.
Opening the door, going upstairs, and returning to the room, she was taken aback to see Watt Bennet still awake at this hour.
Watt was sitting in a sofa chair, seemingly waiting for her.
His gaze swept in her direction, lingering on her for an unusually long time.
Half-past one!
Coming back with Manuel Ink!
He was clearly misunderstanding, assuming Summer Sutton's late return was because she had stayed with Manuel Ink until this hour.
He seemed to catch the scent of food on her.
This late, had she eaten a midnight snack with Manuel Ink before coming back?
Summer Sutton had no idea he had just seen Manuel Ink bringing her back. Thinking he only cared about her late return, she casually made up an excuse, "I was working late at the company."
She spoke simply; she didn't want him to know what happened at the company tonight.
