Christine Quinn sat quietly in the hotel apartment, waiting for Skyler Jones to arrive.
At ten o'clock, her phone suddenly rang.
Thinking it was Skyler, she immediately answered, only to hear Jonathon Gibson's voice on the other end.
"Christine."
Christine Quinn's face showed a hint of disappointment, but she still responded politely, "Jonathon."
"I went to Geoffrey's, and they said you're not in New York."
"Yeah, I'm in France."
"Did you leave suddenly because you had a dispute with Skyler?"
Christine leaned against the floor-to-ceiling window, answering lightly, "I had no dispute with him." It was a silent indifference.
"Christine, I'm sorry. I think what I said caused a misunderstanding between you and Skyler... A few days ago, Jennifer Douglas contacted me."
Christine didn't respond.
"Jennifer told me she had learned everything from Justin Walter. She's very upset... I asked her if she'd return to New York, and she said she never wants to come back again..."
