A Caged Songbird's Escape: Into the Arms of a Predator novel Chapter 355

…

Marcia knew Bradley was the one of Frank's friends who disliked her the most, and she was well aware of her own intentions for being there. Suppressing her anger, she went out and found a waiter to help.

Once in the car, Marcia glanced back at Frank, sleeping peacefully in the back seat, and drove directly to a nearby five-star hotel.
