Mars' warning and gift weighed heavily on my mind.
Considering everything I learned today, it was clear that Nathan had brought in Will and that woman to investigate the mole while Mars intercepted the evidence.
'I should trust Mars to handle things discreetly, but there's no guarantee Will won't suspect me if he hits a dead end. After all, his intentions in getting close to me lately have been painfully obvious.'
I messaged Mars: Thank you for the gift. It's really generous, though I'm not sure I should accept it. Maybe we could swap it for something cheaper?
Mars: It is just a small gift. You look lovely wearing it. No need to feel burdened.
Biting my lip, I realized that refusing again would seem rude. I decided I'd repay him in some other way.
I texted again: Thank you. Do you ha
