“Mr. Larson, the surveillance system has just been updated.It was scheduled to be done yesterday, but the tech department was women that something important might occur while the security cameras were out of service, so they put it off until after the employees les for the day”

The assistant explained the situation in a shaking voice.

He wasn’t sure what was going on, but he was scared nonetheless.

Especially given the dark and formidable face his boss was sporting Even so, his fear did not curb his curiosity Why was the president suddenly investigating this matter?

“Keep looking into it Contact me once you find new leads”

Brandon’s lips curled into a sneer.

“Call Miss Turner here.”

Charis entered Brandon’s office with a stack of documents and her laptop.She looked tired, as though she had spent the last several nights buried in work.
