Upon hearing his words, a hushed silence fell over the crowd. No one dared to provoke him further.
The bodyguards took a step forward to disperse the crowd, and the remaining employees swiftly entered the elevator, eager to continue with their work. Within moments, the lobby was once again vacant and quiet.
Nathaniel gripped Christina’s hand and pulled her into the private elevator reserved for higher–ups. Before the doors could close, he pinned her to the wall.
“You must explain yourself,” he demanded coldly.
Christina furrowed her brows and responded honestly, “I fell asleep in my room last night. When I woke up in the morning, Francis wasn’t there anymore.”

Christina’s eyes turned cold. “What else do you think happened?”
