The next day. Alice couldn’t slack off at work anymore.
Everyone in the tech department treated her like some rare creature, sneaking quick looks her way.
Then someone pulled out their phone with a video from last night’s race.
“Alice, is that really you!”
Alice shot him a look. “Maybe you should get your eyesight checked”
The jab didn’t upset him at all.
“Alice, the prize money was huge.”
Alice looked confused.
Was it only wanted the car.
I always let Daniel deal with money, so if it was a lot, he would’ve told me.
Since he hadn’t, I figured it was manageable.
“Alice, one more thing”
“Hm”
“Did Scout teach you how to race?”
The person immediately smacked their own mouth.
“Oops, got that backward.
“I meant, did you teach Scott?*
Alice said seriously. “No. And don’t start rumors.”
My racing skills aren’t that bad.
The person wanted to say more, but Alice’s phone rang.
It was Emma
Alice had saved Anthony before, and Emma kept her updated about him on WhatsApp.
Anthony was fully recovered now, almost ready to leave the hospital.
Still, Alice answered just in case.
“Is this Alice Spencer?”
The voice wasn’t Emma’s; it belonged to someone she didn’t recognize.
“Ms. Spencer, don’t worry about me, sob….*
That was Emma’s voice.
Emma must’ve been kidnapped.
Alice rubbed her temples and stepped outside the IT department with her phone.

“Who is this?”

“No need to ask. Grab your medical kit and get to St. Anne Hospital’s cardiac surgery right now, or your friend won’t make it.”
Alice pressed her tongue to her cheek, eyes cold and determined.
Emma wasn’t exactly her best friend, but during those years in the monastery, she’d been a rare kind soul, a good kid.
Technically, Emma was under her protection.
Someone kidnapped Emma to threaten met
Alice hung up slowly, her face drained of any warmth.
“Mr. Eric
Because two major clients had just placed orders, the design department was swamped–everyone was buried in work.
Even Eric was busy, still tweaking contracts when Daniel came rushing in.
“What’s going on?”
Eric didn’t look up.
Daniel was out of breath, clearly urgent.
“Mr. Eric, Mrs. Nolan just left the company.”
Eric’s hands froze.
Daniel checked the car’s GPS. “She’s heading to St. Anne Hospital.”
He swallowed hard. “Marvin is hospitalized there too.”
Could it be he didn’t get enough beating last night, and she’s going back for round two?
The Griffins aren’t people to mess with
We had the moral upper hand last night, but stirring up more trouble could backfire.
Eric’s face darkened. “Get the car ready. We’re heading to St. Anne Hospital”
Daniel moved fast, arranging everything and driving off with Eric.
Their leaving the company didn’t stay a secret long.
Ruby found out quickly.
“Hmph, they don’t take work seriously at all she sneered, flipping through papers on her desk.
Ufer male assistant, Ollie Robinson, spoke up.
“Ms. Randall, if staff skip work without reason and aren’t punished, it might affect everyone else
His words hit Ruby hard.
“Check the policy. Punish them by the rules”

Ollie wasn’t convinced. “Is that all? They-
Ruby smiled triumphantly.
“They’re department heads. So, triple the punishment.”
Ollie laughed out loud.
“Ms. Randall, you really are something.”
In a warehouse near St. Anne Hospital, Emma was tied to a chair, bruised all over.
Blood dripped from her forehead.
Still, her eyes blazed, lips tight; refusing to give up Alice’s whereabouts,
In front of her stood a woman.
She wore a Chanel couture dress, her stiletto heels clicking on the floor.
If this was Fashion Week, she’d look glamorous.
But in this dark, grimy warehouse, she was terrifying.
“You won’t talk, huh?”
Her red lips curled into a cold, cruel smile.
Emma’s eyes burned with hatred.
“Heh, you’ve got
some backbone. Looks like you’re really loyal to Alice.”
