"I saw a watch in the office, and someone who knows tech looked at it and said there's a surveillance device inside."
"Joel, the two of us in the office this morning, Serena recorded it."
"That watch belongs to Serena."
Ruth spoke through gritted teeth.
Similarly, Joel was furious upon hearing this.
He turned his head to glance at Claire, who was watching him on the call, steadied himself, and said calmly, "I understand."
"That's that, I'll come by tomorrow to deal with it."
Joel spoke in a businesslike tone, then decisively hung up the phone.
He returned to the dining table, noticing Claire watching him with a look of concern, he felt a bit panicked, afraid that she might have heard or discovered something.
"Is there something urgent at the company?"
Hearing Claire's question, Joel determined that she still knew nothing.
"Yeah."
He responded, following Claire's words.
