The night outside was heavy. It felt like the calm before the storm.
Alexandra took the file Yrian handed her, glanced at it, and chuckled Hendrix is suspicious after all.
Yrian raised an eyebrow Time to close the net
Not yet, she closed the file, her gaze shifting to the night sky outside. I want him to come and beg me personally.
Just like she once begged him to come back.
As it turned out, Hendrix’s premonition was correct.
Just as Sanchez Group’s stock price began stabilizing, several institutions seemed to have coordinated their actions, collectively withdrawing their investments. The Sanchez Group’s shares plummeted, hitting a historic low.
Hendrix stood before the floor–to–ceiling window, his palms gradually clenching.
Behind him, his assistant didn’t dare to breathe.

A deathly silence fell over the office. The assistant kept sweating profusely, wiping his forehead. What he’d uncov- ered made him fear his career would end if he spoke.

The office door on the top floor burst open.
Alexandra sat before the floor–to–ceiling window, her back to him, the pen in her hand scratching sharply across doc-
uments.

The voice that haunted countless dreams now stood within reach, yet colder than a stranger’s.
Alexandra… He took a step forward, voice rasping. I know it’s you.
Alexandra finally turned.
