Her gaze shifted toward Tyrone, her lips curving into an enigmatic smile.
“I genuinely thought it was on auto-shutdown.”
Tyrone’s grin appeared just as artificial as hers.
Her acting chops were truly top-tier.
Sabrina’s heartbeat went into overdrive, prompting her to retreat a step.
“Why the laser focus on me, Tyrone?”
Tyrone closed the distance, his smile radiating amusement.
“Sabrina, this is the first time I’ve known you had these acting skills up your sleeve. No wonder Camden snagged you for the
play.”

Sabrina stood there in shock.
Her lips twitched, still hoping that she might still pull this off.
“What’s that supposed to mean?”
“Aren’t you catching on yet?” Tyrone drew nearer, a wry smile tugging at his lips.
“When I rang you up, you weren’t dining solo. You were with Blayze. You spun a web of deception and pretended that your
phone turned off automatically. Blayze sent you back, and I’ve seen it.”
After stepping out of Blayze’s car, Sabrina had even exchanged words with Blayze, her reluctance to part with Blayze glaringly
obvious.
Her fib had unraveled, exposing her barefaced lie.
Tyrone’s revelation left Sabrina mortified.
Bathed in the soft glow of the light, her face seemed even more radiant.
Sabrina nibbled at her lower lip, then cast her gaze up at Tyrone before lowering it again as she whispered, “You... How’d you
figure it out?”
“I just wrapped up a dinner party at Francio Club.”
His response was succinct, but it unveiled a world of understanding.
He’d spotted her at Francio Club, and he’d known all along that she was hoodwinking him.
Sabrina winced, knowing her charade had been laid bare.
He hadn’t disclosed his presence in Violetholt or the fact that he’d spotted her. It was a test, no doubt.
“If you already know I’m not playing straight, why not just call me out?” Sabrina inquired, her face a mélange of frustration and
indignation.
