The man had no intention of letting the director go.
As the director attempted to flee, the man grabbed him by the coat, covered his mouth, and dragged him into the fire escape. Encumbered by age and frailty, the director could not contend with the man's strength and was mercilessly dragged to the rooftop. Following a moment of shock and a piercing scream, the director crashed heavily to the ground and died.
Later that evening, an announcement circulated, declaring that the director had leaped from the building due to the immense pressure of life. Spencer read the announcement, feeling fear, self-blame, and unease flooding him.
‘Will I be the next to die? Should I confess to Joseph? Maybe he'll forgive me and let me go… No, no, it can’t possibly be my turn. I’ve always been obedient. My wife and children are still in their hands… I can’t back down.’
Three days later, Chloe returned to the country. Upon touchdown, she texted Joseph.
[The plane has landed and I’ll be out in about ten minutes.]
She grabbed her luggage and boarded the shuttle bus. Upon exiting the airport, she instantly spotted Joseph. His towering height of 1.8 meters made him stand out from the crowd, while his handsome features exuded a frosty allure. When his gaze met hers, it instantly softened, and the rigid aura around him eased slightly. His finely sculpted eyebrows and captivating eyes made him the center of attention, drawing glances from women passing by.
Chloe and Joseph had missed each other dearly after not meeting for about a month.
Joseph opened his arms, his lips curling into an enchanting smile as he said, "Come here and let me hold you."
Chloe was someone who loved a good-looking man. She felt her heart race and could not hide her excitement. She pushed her luggage to Abigail and threw herself into his arms.
Joseph embraced her tightly, his voice carrying a magnetic huskiness as he asked, "Did you miss me?"
Chloe raised her head, her eyes clear as she met his gaze. "I did. And what about you? Did you miss me too?"
"No," Joseph said, teasing her.
