“How do you think we should approach the issue?” Kaze asked, passing the question back to Jem.
Jem said with a smile, “We were going to call the cops when we first realized the problem.” He paused and observed Kaze’s reaction.

I'm just the new general manager, so they don’t see me as an influential figure.” Kaze added with a smirk, “Don’t read too.much into it, Sophie. You were set up, but you're not the target. I am.” “you? Are they trying to put you behind bars?” Freaking out, Sophie said tearfully, «The trouble started with me, Mr.
Chairman. I'll take the prison sentence, but can you please take care of my mother for me?” The woman's teary eyes left Kaze speechless.
