GoodReadWith a sense of resignation, she closed her eyes, choosing to accept the inevitable compromise. Upon reopening
them, she slowly rose to her feet, each step feeling heavier than the last as she made her way towards the
storeroom. The once broken door had been repaired and now stood wide open, like a gaping maw of the abyss,
beckoning her towards her impending doom.
As she crossed the threshold, her steps faltered, the wave of fear washing over her with full force. Quinn was
trembling, her body driven by the terror that consumed her. She attempted to retreat, but Kyle was swift to shut
the door behind her. The loud thud of the storeroom door echoed ominously as it closed, cutting off the last sliver
of light from her sight.
Overwhelmed, Quinn's legs gave way beneath her, causing her to collapse to the floor, powerless. The narrow,
cramped space seemed to suffocate her, wrapping her in its oppressive embrace. She sat on the cold ground,
hugging her knees to her chest, closing her eyes in an attempt to escape the reality of her dark confinement.
Her lips moved in a silent mantra, a desperate attempt to comfort herself. ‘Don't be afraid... don't be afraid..."
These words had once been whispered to her by a gentle voice, soothing her fears, "It's okay, Quinn, don't be
scared." Curling up into a ball, she whispered back to the phantom voice in her mind, "I'm not scared." Just by
repeating these words to herself, she hoped to quell her fear. That's what he had once told her.
Upon leaving the villa, Alexander went straight to the company. Kyle trailed closely behind, matching Alexander's
brisk pace as they both stepped into the elevator. "Alexander, Leon has already been taken away. If those
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtaccounts are checked, he will probably be imprisoned," Kyle informed him.
Alexander, his hands tucked into his pockets, leaned against the elevator wall, offering no response. Kyle paused
before adding, "Also, the tickets for tonight's business trip have been purchased. Should | cancel the ticket for
Quinn?" It was only then that Alexander showed a flicker of emotion, casting a meaningful glance at Kyle.
"Cancel it," he commanded.
Kyle nodded in compliance, "Okay." He hesitated before speaking again, "Don't we need to take care of Quinn?"
"It's only three days, she won't die," Alexander replied coldly, stepping out of the elevator as it reached their
floor.
Kyle frowned slightly, contemplating Alexander's words. 'Can someone really be okay without eating or drinking
for three days?" It was a thought that unsettled him. He had never experienced such a thing himself, the most he
had endured was a day of forgetting to eat due to work, and even that had been unbearable. 'Quinn is unlikely
able to endure such hardship," he mused.
He sighed, feeling it wasn't his place to advise, especially given Alexander's current mood. Any advice would
likely fall on deaf ears. Having worked with Alexander for a considerable time, Kyle had cto understand him
to a certain extent. When Alexander was extremely angry, he appeared eerily calm.
Getty, aware of Alexander's impending business trip, had limped her way to the company, insisting on
accompanying him. "Alexander, takewith you. My foot injury is not healed yet, so | can't work. I'll take the
opportunity to get sfresh air," she pleaded.

Alexander, tugging at his tie in irritation, glanced at her, "I'm going on a business trip, not a vacation."
"I know that. | just want to go with you. You're working, and I'll be playing. It's not a conflict," Getty reasoned,
coquettishly clinging to his arm.
Alexander sat down on the sofa, his gaze falling on her injured foot. It had been so swollen that she had required
medical attention at the hospital. Although the swelling had subsided, a faint redness was still visible. He
chuckled lightly, "You're injured like this and still thinking about playing. Do you not want your leg anymore?"
