Chapter 2
piece things together.
3/3
It took me almost half an hour before I suddenly snapped out of my thoughts. I looked at the still–open video call screen and immediately turned to my assistant.
“You don’t have to go to the ceremony. Go check something for me. If you get it done, I’ll give you a bonus.”
The bonus was far more appealing than the ceremony.
By the time I’d given my instructions, my assistant was full of energy, saying she’d get to the bottom of it.
I took a car to the new store.
The allure of money was powerful.
In just an hour and a half, my assistant had gathered all the information.
I looked at the documents in my hand, and my heart sank.
I never imagined that my entire life so far had been built on lies.
I quietly pulled my assistant aside. “There’s one more thing, but don’t let anyone else know.”
After giving her my instructions, I returned to the ceremony, trying to block out my swirling thoughts and focus on preparing for the event.
