“So, you’re saying that S might be someone from Alpire Group and that there’s a possibility that S had sent one of the images from their company,” Joan replied.
Caspian shook his finger. “No, it’s not a possibility; it’s a certainty. He must be someone from Alpire, and they must have been plotting to buy our company for a good amount of time.”
As the three of them continued to discuss the matter, no one noticed that Nancy’s expression was turning grimmer by the minute. Sure enough, it’s Alpire Group who did it. Suddenly, she remembered the guy who quarreled and fought with her on the roadside and hurt her finger in the elevator.
Oh my, is he the one who did it? But he looks so cheerful and positive. However, if he is really the one, it means he has the upper hand because he knows so much about the Norton Corporation, but none of us knows anything about him. Most importantly, if he is S, the fact that he can acts so casually in front of me, despite his schemes, really makes my blood run cold.
Nancy gulped anxiously, trying her best to conceal her emotions. What will happen if Caspian found out about our past? Judging by his character, the matter would definitely be spiraled out of control. I would best pretend like I know nothing, then everything would stay as it is.
Therefore, Nancy opted to zip her lips and remained silent. Who is Jory Synder actually? Now it seems he’s not just an ordinary playboy. Wait, Jory Synder? Synder? S? Could he be the mysterious S we’ve been looking for?
Although Nancy did not know much about Jory, her gut was telling her that he was not S. So, instead of telling the rest about the conjecture in her mind, she decided that she should go and ask Jory herself if he was S. If he really was S, I’d like to know why he did that! If he wasn’t, then we might become good friends! I sure hope he isn’t though… No matter what, Nancy hoped that he was not the person who had been sending weird images to Norton Corporation.
“Nancy? Nancy?” Joan waved her hand in front of her. Crap! I was so lost in my thought that I didn’t realize that she’s been calling me.
She hastily turned to Joan. “Yes, Joan? Anything?”
Joan teased, “Did you really get shocked by the news just now?”
Unable to contain himself, Larry burst into laughter upon hearing that.
Caspian immediately turned red.
On the other side, Jory thought he must be out of his mind. Ever since the last time he met Nancy, he had no idea why he would come to the place where they first met every day. There was one time the traffic was so congested that he had the urge to take a shovel and remove all the obstructions in front of him.
Seeing the then empty road, his heart felt inexplicably empty, and he yearned to have something to fill the vacancy in his heart. Feeling frustrated, he turned his steering wheel and wanted to get out of here as soon as possible.
Suddenly, he saw a red Bentley passing by and without a second thought, he immediately floored the accelerator and sped down the road. However, the red Bentley was also moving very fast. Hot on its tail, Jory fixed his eyes on the rear of the car for fear of losing sight of it.
The sound of the honks from the other vehicles grew louder and louder, but he heard none of them and continued to weave through the traffic like a madman, ignoring all the angry glares from the other drivers.
Finally, the red Bentley came to a stop, but Jory was so out of it that he only realized that when he was about to crash into the rear-end of the Bentley. He hit the brakes immediately, lurching forward. After he moved back to his original position, only then did he realize that his forehead and his palms were drenched with sweat. He then opened the door mechanically and stepped out of his car.
