NovelEnglishAlexander gently took Quinn's hand, poised to reveal something, when the distinct sound of Kyle Astor's voice
echoed from outside.
"Alexander!" he called. At the sound of his name, Quinn promptly released his hand and spun around to seize a
jacket."Wet," Alexander observed, capturing her wrist in his grasp.
Quinn froze momentarily."Kyle Astor!" Alexander's voice boomed, a summons to the unseen figure beyond their
sanctuary.Upon hearing his name, Kyle hastily approached, his voice reverberating from outside the cave,
"Alexander, are you and Quinn in there?""Bring in two sets of clothes," Alexander commanded.
"Okay, got it!" Kyle responded, bending down to shove garments through a crevice in the 'barrier."" They're from
the farmhouse, just make do with them."Kyle had had the foresight to snatch sextra clothes from the house
when he had departed the yard. His foresight was now proving useful.
Alexander accepted the clothes, which were unmistakably Walter's. Given their similar physiques, the clothes fit

Without a moment's hesitation, Alexander scooped her up, cradling her in his arms as they exited the cave. Upon
seeing them both unscathed, Kyle Astor breathed a sigh of relief. However, as dawn began to break, his worry
resurfaced."Alexander, we might miss the shareholders’ meeting if we go back now. What should we do?" he
queried.
Hearing this, Quinn cast a nervous glance at Alexander.Alexander raised his gaze to the sky, deep in thought.

checked his watch.

It was nearing seven-what were they waiting for? Alexander remained silent, gently setting Quinn down to
inspect the metal ring on her foot. The screen was dark, the countdown had ended. Alexander's brow furrowed
as he tinkered with the metal ring, his frown deepening with each passing minute."Alexander, can you make
anything of it?" Kyle Astor inquired. The wind whipped through the mountains, sending shivers down their spines.
Alexander, undeterred, continued his examination of the metal ring. Was he truly planning to skip the
shareholders' meeting? Or had he given up entirely?Alexander rose to his feet and declared, "It's not a
bomb.""What? We've been played?" Kyle Astor's face paled. "It's a listening device," Alexander stated coldly, his
gaze fixed on the metal ring, "Let's get a professional to open it when we return."Upon hearing it was a bug,
Quinn looked distinctly uneasy-had their conversation in the cave been overheard?
