Xavier stood at the door, looked at the man in the room and the several computers, and then raised his hand to knock on the door.
When the man saw him, he immediately yelled impatiently, "Hey! Who are you looking for?"
Xavier smiled faintly, "I have something to do and may need your help. May I come in?"
"Outsiders are not allowed to come in. Didn't you see the notice posted outside?"
"I saw it." Xavier nodded. Without stopping, he lifted his foot and walked inside.
"Hey! You can't come in! Get out of here! Otherwise... Uh?" The man looked at the cash handed over by Xavier and bit back her words.
He looked at the stack of cash and looked up at Xavier, "What are you doing?"
"I want to..." Xavier pondered for a while, and then said, "Buy something."
"What is it?"
"The surveillance video from twelve o'clock to two o'clock in the afternoon today. Could you delete it for me?" Saying this, Xavier put the money directly in the man's hand regardless of whether he agreed or not, "Share the money with your colleagues. If you don't think it's enough, I can give you more."
The man looked at the money in his hand and wanted to take it, but he was in a dilemma, "I'm afraid that I can't accept the money."
Xavier frowned, "What do you mean?"
"There is no surveillance video." As he spoke, he shrugged his shoulders,"! don't know what's going on. Anyway, there is no surveillance video. When I took over the shift, things had become like this. It seems that someone has deleted the surveillance video today."
Had the surveillance video been deleted?
"Do you know why?"
"No!"
Xavier frowned. Although he felt that it was strange, he was relieved. It was good that the scene of him being together with Elizabeth would never be seen by others, and Elizabeth and Jimmy's relationship would not be affected.
"What's going on today? Why do all of you want to get the surveillance video today?" The man muttered with puzzlement.
Although his voice was not loud, Xavier heard him clearly, "Do you mean that someone else has come here to get it?"
"Yes." The man nodded, "A woman came here half an hour before you came here."
Xavier's heart skipped a beat, "A woman?" Who was she? He asked, "What does the woman look like?"
"I don't know. She was wearing a hat and a mask. How would I know?"
Xavier was not at ease. He stared at the man and said, "Can I have a look? I can see her in the security camera, right?"
The first person he thought of was Elizabeth. Her face was injured, and it was reasonable for her to wear a mask, but he was not sure. Zena knew that he and Elizabeth had been here, and he had had a terrible quarrel with her. Since he could think of coming here, it wouldn't be strange for Zena to think of it.
"What's the matter?"
Jane grabbed the rag in her hand and smiled with embarrassment. But when she thought Elizabeth's anxious look in the morning, she said, "Well... This morning, no, it was almost noon. Young Master called home, but you were not at home at that time."
Hearing this, Elizabeth was stunned for a moment. She was not in a hurry to go out. Instead, she was pleasantly surprised. She hurriedly turned around and stepped forward to grab Jane's hand, "Really? Why didn't you tell me? Did he say anything?"
As she asked anxiously, her heart beat violently. She widened her eyes and looked at Jane expectantly.
"Well, he didn't let me tell you that he called home..." When she heard James say that, she felt a little strange, but she didn't think too much, because she thought that young people liked to prepare surprises.
Hearing this, Elizabeth was no longer overjoyed, and the smile on her face froze, "Is that so? Then... what else did he say?"
Jane recalled carefully for a moment, and then shook her head and replied, "No. He didn't say anything else." After that, she looked at Elizabeth cautiously and said, "Young Madam, you won't blame me for not telling you about it, will you? Young Master ordered me like that indeed, and I work for you and him... I just think that I should tell you because you asked me such a question."
After a long while, Elizabeth suppressed the disappointment in her heart and nodded faintly. She said in a low voice with a dry smile, "No."
"By the way, it seems that he is still on a business trip." Seeing that Elizabeth didn't mean to blame her, Jane was relieved, "He said that he didn't know when he would come back. So, Young Madam, he probably didn't come back today."
After that, she smiled again and said, "Young Master is not at home now, so you miss him so much and have an illusion. Moreover, since he is so good to you, even if he doesn't ask you to pick him up at the airport when he comes back, he will come to see you as soon as he comes back. Am I right?"
Elizabeth wanted to shake her head subconsciously because only she knew that James was not on a business trip at all, and he was still in A city.
But in the end, she just gently nodded as if she was comforting herself, "Yep, if he comes back, he will definitely come to see me first. Well, I'll go out first. I have something to deal with."
