"No clue. He used to make late appearances with Getty, but now that she's absent, it's anyone's guess," a
coworker mused in a hushed tone.
"Getty must have stumbled upon sgood fortune to catch Alexander's eye. She doesn't even hold a candle to
Ruby in terms of beauty," another chimed in.
"Indeed, and she doesn't possess Ruby's competence either."
This subject had been the fuel for countless gossip sessions among them, yet it remained an enigma.
Regardless, it didn't deter them from envying the situation or occasionally sparking a lively debate about it.
Maria, after a quick survey of her surroundings, leaned in and whispered, "Speaking of Ruby, | heard she and
Alexander were schoolmates. She's been around since Alexander joined. | have a rather wild hypothesis." "And
what might that be?" a curious voice inquired.
Lowering her voice to a conspiratorial whisper, Maria responded, "What if there's something going on between
them? Could Getty merely be a diversion?"
"Watch your words! Do you want to lose your job?" One of their colleagues, clearly unnerved, swiftly retreated to
his desk.
"Oh, lighten up, we're just having a friendly chat. But haven't you noticed the way Ruby gazes at Alexander?
There's more to it than meets the eye." "And what does that prove?"
"Alexander has no shortage of admirers, but Getty has managed to fend them all off. It's only natural for Ruby to

anyone who showed the slightest interest in Alexander?"
"But Ruby's standing remains unchallenged. With Getty warding off the competition, perhaps they have a
chance?"
Maria began to count on her fingers, her face illuminated by a secretive grin.
Listening to her outrageous theories, her colleagues struggled to hide their amusement, thinking Maria was
falling prey to her own fantasies. Meanwhile, Quinn stared blankly at her computer screen, lost in her own world.

"Alexander, what's so urgent that you had to summonhere?"
Alexander placed a pile of documents on the table and slid them toward Freya.
Freya eyed the documents with suspicion as she accepted them from Alexander. A quick scan of the contents
caused her expression to darken immediately.
"This much?" she exclaimed, her face a picture of shock. She hadn't anticipated the losses to be so substantial.
"Precisely." Alexander produced a voice recorder and pressed play, and Wayne's voice filled the air. "If he can't
cough up the money, huh!"
With each word, Freya's face turned a shade paler. She wrung her hands nervously. "What does Dad mean by
this?"
"He suspects asset misappropriation."
"That's preposterous!" Freya rose to her feet, her voice filled with emotion, before thinking better of it and
resuming her seat, whispering, "Alexander, Walter would never do such a thing."
Alexander merely arched his lips in a non-committal manner. "But Dad doesn't share that belief. We're not the
ones in control here. If this deficit isn't addressed, someone will have to shoulder the blame, understand?" And
Walter was the ideal scapegoat-he wasn't a Kennedy, and the fiasco had occurred under his supervision.
Freya looked visibly shaken as she clutched the documents once more, her grip tightening until the paper
crumpled in her hands.
"So, what's our next move? Can't you help Walter out, for my sake?" she pleaded.
"There might be a solution," Alexander pondered.
She clung to his words as if they were a lifeline. "What is it?"
