Ever since she hung up the phone with Bella, Elisa had been feeling burdened by worries, always sensing that something was about to happen.
Especially in the last two days, that premonition had been growing stronger and stronger.
Elisa only shared her concerns with Gareth.
After listening, Gareth expressed that he shared the same thoughts and intuition as Elisa. One thing that's certain is that the large group of journalists showing up at the company's doorstep was clearly a coordinated and premeditated act. So, this definitely wasn't an accident. Clearly, that person has some influence, being able to mobilize so many media outlets. They must also have some financial strength.
What was more intriguing was that neither Elisa nor Gareth could figure out who that person really was, regardless of the connections they explored.
There was not even the slightest hint or trace.
Gareth looked at Elisa, who seemed a bit preoccupied, and comforted her, “No matter what, at least nothing has happened yet, so there's no need to worry too much. Just let things take their course. After all, the enemy lurks in the shadows while we remain in the light. It's really hard to guard against the enemy. All you need to do is take care of what you should do and think on your feet.”
Elisa nodded. It seems that's the only way forward now.
For several consecutive days, everything was peaceful and uneventful.
But far from feeling relaxed, Elisa felt that it was the calm before the storm.
One day in the second week, while she was still at home taking care of Kaylee, a call came from Bella. She sounded extremely anxious, delivering news that struck her like a bolt from the blue.
“A couple of the previous construction workers mentioned they still haven't received their overdue wages. They're now on the rooftop of the company building, holding a banner and threatening to jump,” Bella reported.
