"No," Rosalynn gathered herself, her voice maintaining its usual tone. "Maybe I didn't sleep enough last night. Head to the restaurant first, I'll be there soon."
"Sure, take your time, no rush." Wayne's voice was incredibly gentle.
Rosalynn heard him and it felt as if a knife was slowly carving into her heart.
The call ended.
"Mike, you've been working hard these days. Go home and rest." Rosalynn paused for a moment. "Rest well, it might be a long while before you get another break."
"Understood." Mike nodded.d2
After hesitating for a while, he finally said, "Miss, the Jared Group will always have your back, no matter what happens, no matter what decision you make."
Rosalynn gave Mike a smile and a nod. Mike then left.
Rosalynn sat in her car. It felt like an invisible hand was choking her.
After calming herself down, she headed to the restaurant where they had agreed to meet.
As soon as she parked the car, she saw Ableson.
Deep down, she hoped that the videos Mike found were related to another personality of his.
Rosalynn opened the car door, "Ableson."
As Ableson turned his head, Rosalynn noticed his sour expression.
"What's wrong? Where's the kid?" Rosalynn looked behind him.
"He didn't show up. President Silverman just called and told me the kid said he would come himself." Ableson's face was stern.
"How could he not show up? Was the address wrong?" Rosalynn asked in a deep voice.
"I went to the address given by President Silverman. I called the kid when I got there, but the number President Silverman gave me does not exist!" Ableson's forehead furrowed. "I'm sure I dialed the number President Silverman gave me, look..."
"Darling!" Upon seeing Rosalynn, Wayne hurried over.
"President Silverman..." Ableson lowered his head like a child who had done something wrong.
Wayne glanced at him, clearly a bit annoyed.
"Ableson said he didn't pick up the kid and the kid is coming by himself?" Rosalynn looked behind Wayne, there was no one there. "Where is he? Has he arrived?"
The next moment felt like an eternity.
"He's not here yet." Wayne pursed his lips, a subconscious action when he was anxious. "He said he would be here ten minutes ago, now his phone is not answering."
Rosalynn tried to control her trembling hand, "Can you try calling again?"
Wayne nodded. In front of Rosalynn, he dialed the number saved as 'kiddo'.
