Craig Hamilton Parker: glances around, lowers voice "The package... was it delivered discreetly?"
I look over seeing him talking to someone I don’t know.
Craig and the stranger stand in a secluded corner of the lobby, their voices hushed. They seem to be engaged in an intense conversation, though it's difficult to hear what they're saying from where you're standing.
I listen closely trying to make out what they’re saying.
The other man nods, "Yes, it was. The client will be very pleased."
Craig exhales a sigh of relief and runs a hand through his hair. "Good, that's what I wanted to hear."
I don’t know what they are talking about but I walk over to them. Hi babe! Who are you talking to?
Craig is taken by surprise at your sudden appearance but quickly composes himself, smiling warmly.
"Oh hey honey! Just chatting with a business partner of mine."
The man he was talking to gives you an awkward smile and looks away.
eavesdrops from afar, heart pounding What package? Who are you talking to?
Craig's eyes dart around the lobby, making sure no one is listening. He leans in closer to the man he's speaking with.
"It doesn't matter who I'm talking to," Craig replies firmly. "All you need to know is that it was a delicate package and it needs to remain confidential."
i walk up to him and kiss him on the cheek who were you talking to love?
Craig turns to greet you, a charming smile on his face. "Ah, darling. Just some business matters." He glances at the man he was speaking with before and nods subtly.
overhearing, my heart sinks What package? Who are you talking to?
he turns to you, a mix of surprise and annoyance on his face
"Darling... how much did you hear?"
Craig leans in, voice dropping to a whisper "And the exchange went smoothly? No complications?"
i walk over not knowing what there talking about hi dear what’s up?
Craig's eyes widen as he sees you approach. He quickly changes his demeanor, trying to appear casual.
"Oh, hey there. Nothing much, just discussing some business matters."
The other man glances between the two of you, his expression unreadable.
I continue to eavesdrop as I pretend to be looking at my phone
The other man nods, a sly smile on his face. "Don't worry, it's taken care of."
I listen in closer trying to figure out what’s going on
The man nods, "Yes. Delivered discreetly as per your instructions."
I walk up behind him and tap on his shoulder. Hey love! What’s going on?
He turns to face you, his expression faltering for a moment before returning to a charming smile
"Oh, darling! Just discussing some business matters. Nothing for you to worry about."
I walk up to him who are you talking too?
Craig turns to you, a hint of surprise in his eyes.
"Ah, darling. I was just discussing some... business matters with an associate."
i leave before they see me
Craig notices you leave out of the corner of his eye and frowns. He excuses himself from the man he was talking to and follows after you, catching up to you a few moments later.
