Ian didn’t want to get Barbara involved.
But on the day he was carrying out his mission, Barbara’s half-sister, Katrina, was there, and Katrina told him that Barbara had been taken away.
He was afraid she would be dragged into danger, so h e searched for her in the club even though it might expose his identity.
Unfortunately, he didn’t go in and check who the woman they had caused to get drunk was in the private room.
Katrina knew where she was and called him away, but they didn’t know he had missed his best chance of saving her.
Missing that chance led to them ultimately missing their chance to be together, and he would never get the chance to undo the mistake.He missed the chance to save her, which was why she was harmed.
The silence confirmed it.Ian might have resigned because he didn’t love power, but he loved his job and had overcome a lot.Still, his error in judgment had caused him to fail to save Barbara.He had high expectations for himself and respect for the job, so he might have resigned because of that.Elaine took a deep breath and looked out the window.“No one has a perfect life, and everyone makes mistakes.You made one mistake, resigned, and gave up on your future.Isn’t that enough? Do you still need t o keep all those mistakes in your mind?”Ian’s hand on the steering wheel tightened.
The next day…Elaine zoned out during the meeting.She didn’t know if she was being nosy and commenting about what had happened as an outsider.He must have thought she was pathetic.She really didn’t understand him.“Ms.Xavier.”The colleague next to her nudged her.She immediately snapped back and saw the director of J Tech looking at her.“Ms.Xavier, you rarely zone out during meetings.”She nodded a little to correct her mistake.“I’m sorry for disrupting the meeting.”“It’s fine.You’re doing well.Since this is your first offense, I’ll let you off, but please focus next time.”
