Hearing this, Keith placed his hand on his chest, pretending to be heartbroken. “Ouch, you’ve hurt me deeply. That’s going to leave a mark.”
Seeing his exaggerated reaction, Hannah smiled slightly and said, “If you prefer, you can leave anytime. No one’s going to hold you back.”
“Ahem!” Keith coughed awkwardly. “I’m okay. Please, continue. What happened next?”
Hannah continued, “I purposely took you both to see Charlie last time because I wanted to check if it was you who had informed him in advance. Since it wasn’t you, it must have been Alessandra who did.”

Winston, with a look of mixed feelings, added, “I was hesitant to think of her as a traitor, but then Miss Moore granted me a month off to spend quality time with Alessandra, which she refused.
It started to seem like she was the one who betrayed us, so Miss Moore had me and Dotson put on a show to test her. If she didn’t try to stir up trouble among us, we might have been wrong about her from the start. I didn’t realize the problem was this serious.”

“Boss!” Dotson was quick to express his dissent. “Now’s not the time to go soft!”
