“What do you know? I’m just not comfortable with her living out there by herself, it’s just human nature!

Orion’s voice was calm, “Didn’t see that coming. You’ve got a knack for computing.

Lemira eyed Lucian with a hint of suspicion after hearing his question. She asked, “Lucian, why are you asking all these questions? They’re not related to work, are they?” “I’m just curious, that’s all.

The meeting room was expressly quiet. It wasn’t just Lemira who was shell-shocked; Orion hadn’t expected to see her there either. Thaddeus cleared his throat purposely, “Well, isn’t this a full house?

“Ms. Langston, come in.” Upon seeing Lucian in the room, Lemira, with a calm demeanor, said, “I’ve integrated the tested code into the software.

Lemira caught sight of Evelina’s panicked look, her lips curling with a hint of smirk. Who would’ve thought Evelina could actually be scared? Evelina quickly turned to Lucian, saying, “Lucian, since this whole mess indirectly started because of me, let me clear the air.

Ethan was totally flabbergasted. This couldn’t be happening. He had stealthily hacked into the company’s security system, erasing all footage from the past few days.
