The Apocalypse Survival Manual (Three Days Before Doomsday, I Stockpiled Billions) novel Chapter 750

Trevor stepped forward politely. "Ms. Floyd, please go in."

Nicole and Zeph didn't get a chance to speak, but when their eyes met, Zeph gave her a reassuring look.

The office was spacious but plain. Aside from several stacks of files on the desk, everything was neat and orderly.

Arthur was on the phone, discussing official business.

"Give me a moment. I'll be right there."

After hanging up, he looked at her. "Nicole Floyd?"

Nicole was a little surprised. She didn't expect to see the same important-looking man whose car broke down on the road that day.

He seemed less intimidating than before, and there was even a faint smile in his eyes. For some reason, Nicole relaxed a little.

Then she caught herself. Someone in his position wasn't a person to underestimate.

She kept a polite smile on her face. "Hello, sir."

Arthur studied her face for a moment, then gestured to the chair. "Have a seat."

Every alarm bell in Nicole's head was going off, but she sat across from him and acted perfectly calm.

Arthur studied her for a moment. "You're from Westbridge?"

"Yeah."

"I'm from Grayport, right next door. When I was younger, I spent a lot of time in Westbridge. Had quite a few friends there..."

Nicole's suspicion only grew. The commander of an entire military district had called her in just to make small talk.

Something was definitely off.

Still, there was nothing she could do except play along.

"I read your file. You grew up in an orphanage?"

He already read her file, so he knew the answer. The background check had dug into practically every detail of her life.
