I laid them side by side on my desk.

The rain continued to beat against the window behind me.

I ran my finger down the columns of dates.

In May, Jared was in Chicago for a media summit.

Courtney was also in Chicago, staying at the same boutique hotel.

In June, they were both in Miami.

The charges matched perfectly.

But then I got to July.

According to the ledger, Courtney had billed Harlan Media for a trip to London from July twelfth to July fifteenth.

I checked Jared’s calendar for those exact dates.

Jared had been in New York, attending board meetings and dinners that were highly publicized.

He had not been in London.

I frowned, staring at the paper.

Why would Courtney bill Harlan Media for a trip to London if she wasn’t with Jared?

I opened the digital receipt for her London hotel.

The Savoy.

It was a suite booked under the Harlan Media corporate account.

I looked at the additional charges.

There were room service bills for two people.

I opened my browser and searched for industry news during those dates in July.
