Mike had been suppressing his anger for too long and could not help but shout, “Then hand Lily over!”
Fred looked at him and shrugged. “Hand what over? Sorry, I don’t understand.”
“Cut the act, you—" Mike was furious.
‘What a shameless man! How can someone like him exist in Yudonia’s Embassy?’
Mike knew they were involved in inhumane experiments and wanted to lunge over to expose him.
‘He’s holding Nicky and Lily hostage, yet he dares to play dumb!’
Alexander stopped Mike and looked at Fred. “Here’s what happened. Lily, my wife, received your invitations and told me she would take the job. But she hasn’t returned until now. So, I’m wondering if the job is holding her up. After all, she’s pregnant, and I worry about her.”
He sounded courteous and reasonable. As a husband, it was natural that he came looking for his wife since she did not return from work.
