Then, Anita gave Morine a head’s up.
“We can wait for the results, but you can’t, Anderson. They’ve failed twice already. Third time’s the charm. They might be much crueler and straightforward next time!”
This woke Morine up and he understood that Anita was not exaggerating to give him a scare.
“What do you think I should do then, Anita?”
“You need to leave the hotel, Morine! It doesn’t matter where you go, just don’t stay there. Survive the night, and I promise I’ll be back by tomorrow morning.”
Morine fell silent for a while before responding. “Alright, Anita. I understand.”
Morine immediately went to talk to the hotel staff once he ended the call and instructed them.
‘There’s something I need you to do, it’s crucial that you follow closely…’
After that, Morine left them the necessary payment.
The staff quickly nodded.
With Morine living in his own hotel, he quickly received notice of something else.
“I heard that the purchasing department needs to go on a business trip?” Morine asked over the phone.
“That’s right, Mr. Laine. Is there a problem?” The staff asked.
“Not at all. Just bring me along,” Morine said before hanging up.
The staff nodded. He understood that none of the hotel staff dared to deny Morine’s request, and Morine made no move to explain himself.
This confusion was precisely what he wanted. If he told them everything, it would be very dangerous if that information were to be compromised.
At eight p.m., Morine got into the hotel’s purchasing department’s truck and made his way to Bardot.
According to the driver, it would take around six hours to get there. Morine did not offer a response and quickly fell asleep in the car.
This shocked Kerrick, and he began to become interested in Anderson.
Once everyone had left, Kerrick called Josef’s number.
