I walked behind him. I took deep breath, trying to banish the lingering images from my mind.
‘New phone?” Zane whispered beside me.

… Huh?” I glanced down at my phone.“I accidentally shattered my screen yesterday, so I’m using my old one for now.”
That’s why you switched phones,” he said, understanding dawning on his face.
We exchanged a few more words before the elevator arrived. As I stepped out, I headed towards a side exit. Zane looked puzzled.“Aren’t you going to the parking garage?”
My car’s at the company,” I replied.
Why don’t you come with us?”
…I haven’t had breakfast yet. You guys go ahead. Bye.”
And with that, I practically ran off, my heels clicking on the polished floor.
Zane:“…” His wolf murmured, “WHY THE RUSH? IT’S JUST A CAR RIDE, NOT A TRIP TO THE GALLOWS!”
Xander’s brow was furrowed. Zane turned to see his expression.“…I’ve already eaten, I won’t go.”
Kander stared at him for a few seconds, his gaze cold, before nodding towards the direction I’d fled. “You go, don’t mind me.”
Zane’s wolf secretly complained, “MR. SHAW, COULD YOU PLEASE NOT SOUND SO RESENTFUL!”
[arrived at the office just in time. I hadn’t actually changed phones; the new phone and number were for Vera Winter to contact me.

Vera agreed, promising to contact me immediately if she got any news. She didn’t even ask my name. She only wanted to use omeone else’s hands to eliminate Tanner, while remaining detached.
My wolf sneered, “TRULY NAIVE.”
After sitting in my office for a while, I took my tablet and went to see Zane. Our usual morning meeting, and also… a chance to align

Zane: “This Saturday, the Mr. Shaw said he’s going to MoonPlant Pack. Did he mention it to you?”
No,” I shook my head. “MoonPlant Pack? Did he say why?”
‘No.”
‘So, this trip was a sudden decision,”
I thought back to the mysterious big shot he met the night before… Could it be him? Very likely. His meetings with this mysterious big shot were always shrouded in secrecy.
Zane “He didn’t say whether he’s taking you or me. He’ll probably tell us later.”
I shrugged. “Whatever. We shouldn’t ask too much.” Even if we discussed it, he’d be the one making the final decision.
Zane nodded, fully agreeing.
We had two back–to–back meetings that morning. Several high–level executives were exhausted, especially Mr. David, who had
