Winnie gestured for Jasmine to console her. She had already told Jasmine to offer the best compensation and counseling services to the receptionist to resolve the matter.
She then instructed the leader of the security guards team secretly, “Don’t spread what happened today. This is my personal matter. Everyone present will receive some compensation. Understand?”
“Understood, Mr. Garland.”
Winnie nodded before bringing Mason into her personal elevator which did not have a surveillance camera installed.
In the confined and tiny space, she said to Mason, “Looks like you’ve already healed. When you were unconscious, I made a deal with your subordinate. Didn’t he give you your share after you woke up?”
“No.” Mason seemed uninterested in the deal that Winnie was talking about. “We split up.”
“Huh? Why are you looking for me, then? Did someone from the other side hire you to kill me?”
“No!” Mason frowned. “I’m here to ask for your help, not to kill you. I would’ve already made a move if I wanted to kill you. It isn’t convenient to speak in the elevator. Let’s talk elsewhere.”
Winnie nodded. “Let me ask you a question first. Do you know how’s Harold now?”
“I heard something about him. Allegedly, he fought with Leandro afterward. Their business has basically been terminated by Shaun. He went missing and is currently hiding in a place no one knows about. However, I’ve heard some rumors that he’s planning to take revenge on you. Be careful recently.”
Winnie nodded. “I know about that already. Thank you for reminding me.”
As they spoke, the elevator stopped.
Winnie walked out first. “Follow me.”
She planned to bring Mason to her office. The reason why she did not take him to the other meeting rooms was that those larger places might have a lot of surveillance cameras.
Yet, since Lisanne was still in her office, she needed to deal with that first.
When she walked into the office alone, she saw Lisanne standing there warily while clutching a vase.
Seeing how overly anxious Lisanne was, Winnie strode toward her and said softly, “Lisanne, we don’t need this, so put it down. I’m bringing someone in to talk. Wait for me in the lounge.”
“Did you really bring him up?” Lisanne shot a cautious glance at Winnie and lowered her voice. “Do you really know him?”
“Yeah. He’s the team leader of the mercenaries I worked with in the past. His name is Mason Manfield. Lucas introduced him to me, actually.”
When Lisanne heard that it was her brother who had introduced him, she became slightly more relieved. “I’ll wait inside. If I realize that things aren’t going right, I’ll call the police immediately.”
“Don’t worry. Nothing will happen.”
After Lisanne entered the lounge, Winnie invited Mason in. The moment he closed the door, he asked her, “Did Greta contact you after you came back?”
“No.” Winnie frowned. I’ve got a vague impression of what happened to Greta…
When she first returned and wanted Mason’s team to help her find Christopher’s corpse, she heard Mason’s subordinate mention something.
That person said that Greta disappeared into thin air after that day and did not even visit Mason when he was hospitalized.
If that’s the case… Winnie asked Mason, “You still haven’t found her? Did she disappear?”
Disappointment washed over Mason when he heard her question. “Looks like she didn’t contact you.”
