“Enough,” Emerald interrupted coldly. “Keep looking.”

“Understood…” George replied, sensing her foul mood. He didn’t dare say more and quickly left.

Emerald set down her documents, picked up her phone, and found Alexander’s number. Her finger hovered over the dial button, hesitating.

She thought about what he had said to her before, and how she had told him, in no uncertain terms, that their relationship was over.

In the end, she put the phone down without calling.

She would find Nyla on her own. It was just a matter of time.
