NovelEnglishWith a swift nod of affirmation, Walter declared, "I'll get on it right away." The investment proposals he was
dealing with had the potential to tie up nearly half of the company's liquid assets. The longer the delay, the
greater the risk of loss. If another project encountered problems and the cash flow was cut, the company could
find itself in dire straits.
Exiting the office, Walter carefully flipped through the documents in his hands. They were identical to the ones
given to him two days prior-no alterations, no marks, yet this tthey were inexplicably approved. He pondered
over this, wondering what it could mean. Had Alexander not reviewed them thoroughly, or was there something
else at play? Regardless, the signature was unmistakably Alexander's. A glint appeared in Walter's eyes as he
left the office, documents in hand.
Meanwhile, Kyle knocked and entered the office under the pretense of delivering files. However, his true
intention was to deliver the latest search reports, a task he approached with hesitation. "Alexander... there's still
no sign of them," he confessed, referring to the two women who had vanished without a trace. Despite his and
Oliver's best efforts, they had had no luck.
Alexander flipped through the files indifferently. "Then keep looking," he commanded. Kyle, however, was at a
loss. "Yes... but we've searched everywhere we can think of. I'm not sure where to start now..." He confessed his
embarrassment, considering himself competent, but this time, he hadn't made any headway.
Alexander paused, then shut the file abruptly and looked up at Kyle. "Kyle, you need to learn to think outside the
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtbox."
"Ah... Yes, | understand. I'll try to cup with something."
"What | mean is," Alexander continued, "what you see with your eyes isn't always the truth, get it?"
Kyle was taken aback for a few seconds, not fully understanding Alexander's words. "Forgive my dullness... Could
you enlighten me, Alexander?" he asked.
Alexander, visibly irritated, tossed the file onto the desk. It wasn't forceful, but the noise made Kyle shiver.
Reclining in his chair, Alexander fixed a piercing stare on Kyle, causing a bead of sweat to trickle down Kyle's
forehead. After a while, Alexander spoke up, "Ever heard the saying that the most dangerous place can
sometimes be the safest? You've been fixating on the direction they vanished on the monitor. What do you think
you'll find?"
It finally clicked for Kyle. "I've got it. I'll look into it again!" he exclaimed. Alexander, still visibly irritated, tugged
at his tie before deciding to yank it off entirely, tossing it into his desk drawer.

Once Kyle left the office, he immediately coordinated a search team to comb through the downtown area. He had
been so fixated on the alley where Abigail and Quinn had disappeared, assuming it had to be their hiding place.
The more he searched, the further off track he got, completely overlooking the downtown area. It defied logic to
think that people on the run would hide out in plain sight downtown. What would be the point of running, then?
Kyle felt doubtful but didn't dare contradict Alexander. After searching for days without a single clue, he mused,
'What if Alexander's guess was right?’
When Quinn woke up again, she found herself in bed. Opening her eyes, she gazed at the stark white ceiling for
a few seconds, recalling the previous events. She then abruptly sat up. It was dark outside, but the dim outlines
of buildings were still visible. Walter hadn't restrained her, and her first instinct was to flee, to escape and find
help for Abigail.
