He nodded.
When | got into the car, | shamelessly asked again, "M r. Fredericks, can | get a month's advance on my salary?"
| had lost everything. My ID card and bank card needed to be replaced. | did not even have a cell phone right
now. It was not really convenient to be without one.
Jordan glanced at me, not saying anything. He merely took out a white box from the glove compartment and
handed it to me.
| took it and unboxed it. It was a cell phone.
He said flatly, "This will be your salary this month."
| quickly nodded. "Don’t worry, Mr. Fredericks. I'll work hard."
After not having a phone for two months, | felt like | was about to turn into an alien.
| was a little emotional when | switched on the phone.

The Fredericks owned a large industry in Hommiton City, mainly in jewelry. Its daily shipment quantity was
astoundingly huge.
The company's building was located in the city center of Hommiton City, which was always the most prosperous
part of a city.
Although | was Jordan's secretary, | was still not used t o the company's environment and general workflow.
Hence, | spent the morning familiarizing myself with i t.
During lunch break, | went to the business office to register a SIM card.
The first thing | did when | was able to make a phone call was to call the police.
| was not sure if the law firm and those people were still there, but | could not just sit around and do nothing just

| was lucky enough to escape, but that did not mean that everyone was lucky like me. | did not want anyone else
to go through the shorrifying ordeal.
After | logged into the chat software, which was bound to my bank card, | felt completely grounded.
After leaving Whaldorf City, | had not replied to people's messages nor posted a tweet.
| looked at the notifications that kept popping up, all o f which were messages sent toby my friends in
Whaldorf City.
Theo was the one who sent the most messages. | hesitated for a moment before tapping on it.

"You're alive, Wanda Lane."
| smiled slightly. "I'm still alive thanks to you."
As | had given him a call when | was in the law firm, | needed to question him too.
