I trembled, leaning weakly against his chest. At that moment, I felt an unprecedented sense of safety and happiness.
It was good to be alive.
He continued to comfort me, holding me close.
Gradually, I regained my composure.
"Are the people inside the building safe? You said they've been evacuated, right?" I asked urgently, sharing with Atlas what the man on the rooftop had told me and what I had thought.
Then I added, "We can't stay at the Bourdamun Hotel anymore. Someone’s pulling the strings behind this, and when he controlled me, he was in constant communication with that person. The mastermind behind this has been monitoring the situation. He told me there's a bomb in the banquet hall.”
I looked at him anxiously, afraid of missing any clues.
Atlas reassured me, "Don't worry. Right after we left, bomb disposal experts went in to check the building thoroughly. Everyone inside has already been evacuated."
"When did they evacuate?" I asked in disbelief.
"After you discovered the man with the tattoo in the elevator, I had Dylan start the investigation, focusing on checking every guest on the fifteenth floor. Then I reported to Noah, and we arranged for people to gradually evacuate the banquet hall.
"After the banquet began, people inside the building started leaving the hotel through the back door. That's why you didn't see Arthur in the lobby."
"Yes, I looked for Arthur when I left the banquet hall, but I was certain he wasn't in the hall. That's when I went to the roof," I nodded, speaking earnestly.
Atlas looked at my serious face, hugged me tight, and kissed me, "That's because he had already been escorted away from the scene."
I looked at him in disbelief and asked, "Who told you to go to the roof? Was it a female receptionist?"
