Silly Bride

However, Harold dismissed him. “Wait outside. I need to make a call.”

No sooner had Louis left the room than Harold called his subordinate with his phone.

The moment the call connected, he asked, “Are you back from Alendor?”

“I came back before you did, Boss.” The voice over the line sounded anxious. “We have been waiting for your call all this while. When we didn’t hear from you over the last few days, we were so worried that we almost went over to check.”

Harold furrowed his brows in response. “You had better mind your actions. Now that I’m the CEO of Fairchild Corporation, it’s inappropriate for you guys to show up around me. What about Otto? Is he still keeping an eye on the situation there?”

“Don’t worry, Boss!” Previously, Harold’s subordinates addressed him as “Mr. Horton.” However, ever since he asked them to address him as “Mr. Fairchild,” they decided to use “Boss” instead, as they couldn’t get used to the sudden change.

“Otto won’t dare to come back without your permission. He reported that the exploration team searched the cave for two days but found no signs of life or any bodies. The real Xavier must have disintegrated in the lava.”

“Good. Tell Otto to stay there and keep an eye on the exploration team for a while longer. Also, have you brought back Xavier’s blood and hair sample?”

Harold had made meticulous preparations after deciding to replace Xavier.

Back in the cave, he had stolen Xavier’s blood and hair in anticipation of any eventualities.

Cognizant of the items’ importance, the subordinate seized upon the opportunity to take credit. “Yes, I have! I treated them as if my life depended on them. I know how important they are to you. Do you need them now?”

“Mmm-hmm. Tomorrow, in fact. Think of a way to send them to me. Remember not to show yourself, and don’t let your face be captured by the surveillance cameras.”

“Huh?” The subordinate felt lost. “Where should I put it for you? Those items are important to you but are trash to others. It’s better if I hand them over to you personally.”
