At the police station.
I followed Theo and arrived first.
Theo was talking to their boss. I could not hear what they were saying because of the distance, but I knew they were having a good conversation. Both of them had smiles on their faces.
After some conversation, we followed a group of people into a small room.
Theo turned to me as I was confused and pointed his finger to the one-way mirror. He explained to me, "This is directly across from the visiting room, and we can see that person."
So that was it.
I nodded, and immediately afterward, I
began to keep a lookout for that person.
I did not know how long it took, but the officer's voice finally sounded in my ears." Don’t talk for more than an hour."
Through the one-way mirror, I first saw Ruby, who had left behind her former glamor and looked a bit haggard and wretched.
Looking at the person who came to see her, I was stunned.
It was him...
Theo saw my surprise and gently moved away from me as he looked inside. Only after seeing the visitor did he realize why I was surprised.
There was that familiar voice next to my ear. "Ruby, did you do anything before you came in?" "No. Why?" Ruby’s voice was soft as if she had little strength.
I approached the one-way mirror again to see how he looked at the moment.
"Today, the media reported that the Al system developed by Grant Corporation was stolen, and I thought it was related to you."
Matthew only slightly raised his eyes, but it was like a pair of sharp blades that questioned her.
I did not know how I felt at this moment. I only knew that Matthew turned from a good person into someone ruthless.
I could not look and listen any longer. I looked at Theo. "I don't want to look.”
