"Come in." Khloe's voice suddenly rang out, and the office door opened shortly afterward.
Ethan and Charlotte exchanged a quick glance before hurrying inside.
Khloe was standing beside the desk while a police officer nearby was taking notes.
Charlotte quickly walked to Khloe's side and immediately noticed the faint tension in her expression. But before she could speak, Khloe reached out and took hold of her hand first.
"Don't be nervous. There was a homicide in a neighboring city last night, and the police are searching for a fugitive. This person had previous contact with our company, so they're just here to ask a few questions. Just answer honestly."
Khloe's tone was calm and professional, as though she were simply reassuring an employee.
But Charlotte's heart instantly leapt into her throat.
A fugitive… someone who had contact with them…
Could it be—
"May I ask if you recognize this person?"
Before Charlotte could think further, a photograph was held up in front of her.
The picture appeared to have been taken secretly from a distance. The man stood on a street corner, only his profile visible, revealing barely half his face.
He wore a baseball cap and an oversized black denim jacket.
But even from that silhouette alone, Charlotte recognized him immediately.
It was Noah.
Before she could say a single word, her eyes had already begun to redden uncontrollably.
Ethan stepped forward at once, shielding Charlotte behind him as he grabbed the photo.
"This guy looks familiar!"
"Oh? You've seen him before?" the officer asked, his attention diverted toward Ethan.
"Yeah, I think he came to the company before," Ethan replied, pretending to think carefully.
Khloe spoke calmly. "He interviewed here once before. I thought he looked capable, so I introduced him to Michael as a bodyguard."

The readers' comments on the novel: Billionaire's Match (by Tangy Candy)
When will chapter 1044 and more bd downloaded?...
This is the story that I like reading. The heroine got the hold of the situation right away. No humiliation, no injustice, which keep the readers feeling bad all the way while waiting for the right thing to settle in favor of the heroine. Good storyline,congrats writer!...
