Sweetheart, Do You Still Love Me

Before Elspeth had a chance to contemplate, she received an incoming call from the manufacturer side.

The current drug research had progressed to the critical stage of preliminary sample testing, where there was no room for any mistakes.

The consequences of any mistake would extend far beyond damaging their reputation.

"Miss Lynwood, I have some terrible news! We've got a big situation on our hands!"

The urgent voice on the other end conveyed the severity of the situation.

Elspeth's long-standing unease, which had plagued her for some time, suddenly materialized into a stark reality.

With a nervous jolt, she swiftly rose from her seat and anxiously inquired, "What's happened?"

"When I arrived at the manufacturer to inspect the goods today, the whole batch was completely ruined! I asked the manufacturer about it, but they were just as clueless.

They said everything was fine during the early morning check, and they can’t explain how it turned out like this."

Furrowing her brow with concern, Elspeth replied, "Let's not panic for now.I'll head over there and investigate firsthand."

Deep within her thoughts, she harbored a sense of gratitude for not having fully committed to this batch.

She couldn't help but ponder the potential consequences if she had inadvertently allowed these problematic products to infiltrate the market.

The mere thought of the chaos it could unleash sent shivers down her spine.

She nonchalantly grabbed a jacket and drove to the outskirts where the manufacturer was located.

The distance between the company and the manufacturer was relatively short, just a half-hour journey.

As Elspeth stepped out of the car, her secretary, Mia, awaited her at the entrance with an anxious expression, bordering on tears.

Elspeth noticed the distress and immediately asked, "What's wrong? Why are you crying?"

Mia's voice trembled with a hint of sobbing as she replied, "All of the samples have been completely destroyed."

A heavy sense of despair settled in Elspeth's heart, but she managed to maintain her composure as she calmly inquired, "Was it intentional?"

"Yes, and the culprit was incredibly careful.We haven't found a single clue."

"Are you telling me there's absolutely no clue?"
