“I suppose in a roundabout way I did.”
“So, this morning, you’ll be letting Mr. Manning know his yacht sank.”
“Jeremy wants to fly back to Miami.”
“I think it would be best. He’s certainly not happy on this ship.”
Tohan winced.
“You don’t agree?”
“I agree. However, as I mentioned before and knowing Mr. Manning, I’m not sure this will happen.” Tohan explained that Jeremy’s credit card was funded by his father. “He keeps a small line of credit.”
“So his son doesn’t run it up,” Millie sighed.
“Between you and me, previous incidents have made this a necessity.”
Gloria wrinkled her nose. “I know this is none of my business, but does Jeremy have a job?”
“Not…one to support his lifestyle. He parks cars.”
“Working as a valet?”
Tohan nodded. “Sadly, he is the result of an overindulged upbringing.”
“I don’t disagree,” Millie said. “Meanwhile, he trashed your room, searching for his passport.”
“This would be my guess. I thought he might try finding it so I took it with me.” Tohan made a slicing motion across his neck. “If I do not follow Mr. Manning’s instructions, he will fire me.”
“Your boss has put you in a difficult position,” Gloria said. “How long have you worked for Mr. Manning?”
“For many years, starting from when Jeremy was a young child.”
“So he trusts you.”
“Implicitly,” Tohan said. “Which is why I am not looking forward to the phone call.”
Millie patted his arm. “Hang in there. Jeremy can’t lie. There are too many witnesses.”
“This is true.” Tohan thanked her for letting him know what had happened.
“Do you plan to confront Jeremy?” Gloria asked.
Tohan shrugged. “It won’t matter. Even if he confessed, there is no punishment.”
“Based on what I know about Jeremy Manning, you could be right.”
“I will ask Mr. Manning if I can give the passports back.”
“Because Jeremy isn’t going to Nassau to score his drug deal.”
“Not to mention I don’t want him tearing our cabin apart again,” Tohan said.
“Good luck.”
“Thanks. I’ll need it.”
The women left the men to clean up the mess.
