The next day, Luis slept until noon. His wife, Lily, had gone to work early in the morning, and his mother-in-law and sister-in-law were also not at home, clearly busy over at the teahouse.
Luis stretched and went downstairs to the property management office. Minda, her face full of allure, closed the door and cooed, "Darling, I had someone ask around last night."
"That thing between Black Dog and Aunt Kiara isn't just known by the people in Phase One property management. I'm sure your mother-in-law and them know about it too. That filthy pair are always flirting with each other."
"The reason Black Dog is targeting you isn't to stand up for Aunt Kiara. Aunt Kiara has already backed down, and besides, she's not his only mistress."
"A few years ago, he squeezed out another teahouse that opened around here. To put it bluntly, competitors in business are natural enemies."
