She leaned close to Renee Morgan and spoke in a low voice, "I just heard people coming from outside. Ms. Chapman and I helped you hide that half biscuit ahead of time. When they're gone, we'll return it to you."
Normally, no one would make a fuss, after all, if that biscuit fell into the hands of this group, it would be gone for good; keeping it among friends wouldn't necessarily be the case, and Renee would probably think the same.
Of course, whether she and Zara Chapman would actually give the biscuit back to them after these people leave was another matter entirely.
When the time comes, they could just say the biscuit was lost—what could Renee and Lynn Miller do to them?
Renee wasn't a fool, she wasn't going to believe Wendy Aldridge's bullshit. If she really just wanted to help her and Lynn Miller hide the biscuit from thieves, why was Zara Chapman acting so guilty?
They must have stolen the biscuit from her and Lynn Miller in the chaos, right?
