I booted up my desktop computer.

The hum of the hard drive was a comforting, familiar sound.

I logged into the secure database using my master credentials.

Jared had not revoked my access yet.

He probably thought I was too weak to even remember my password.

I opened the financial portal.

I bypassed the standard profit and loss statements.

I went straight to the detailed ledger for the marketing and PR departments.

This was where the influencer contracts were managed.

This was where Courtney Briggs would be listed.

I clicked on the vendor files.

*Briggs Media LLC.*

The company had paid her over two hundred thousand dollars in the last six months alone.

I clicked on the itemized expense reports attached to her contract.

There were receipts for first-class flights, five-star hotels, and expensive dinners.

I opened a spreadsheet on my secondary monitor.

I pulled up Jared’s official corporate travel calendar.

I wanted to see if their trips matched.

I wanted to prove the affair through the company’s bank accounts.

I printed out Jared’s schedule for the last three months.

Then I printed Courtney’s travel receipts.
