Casually seating himself and leaning back, Walter nced at them before speaking, "Ms. Assistant, are you nning on running away with me instead of standing by Alexander?" Ruby, dressed in her professional attire and sitting upright, let out a wry smile. "There''s no point in me remaining by his side."
Walter crossed his legs, eyeing her with a smirk. "Perhaps you should start looking for the problem within yourself."Blushing, Ruby replied, "It''s not that... I came to tell you it might be a bit tricky to leave Amber Bay at the moment."""Who said I''m leaving Amber Bay?"
Walter retorted.Ruby hesitated slightly, "Then why are you...?"Walter didn''t answer; his gaze fixed on the pouring rain outside as he mused, "What about Alexander? His wife''s gone missing. Any reaction?"Ruby furrowed her brows and shook her head, "No reaction.
He''s been busy with thepany affairs, and with a shareholders'' meetinging up, he probably doesn''t have time to worry about that dummy."
A glint appeared in Walter''s eye, and he chuckled, "Interesting."Ruby and the other man exchanged nces, not quite understanding the meaning behind hisment.
Suddenly, Walter stood up. "Alright, you can leave now."Ruby hesitated, "I''vee all this way, can I really go back?"Turning, Walter gave her a look, "Why not? Alexander knows there''s a mole by his side, but he doesn''t know who." Surprised, her eyebrows furrowed slightly, "You mean, he''s known all along..."With augh, Walter reassured, "Don''t worry, it''s not about your charm."

A touch embarrassed at having her thoughts exposed, Ruby also stood up. "Then I''ll take my leave."The man followed her out. Before long, the farmhouse was quiet again. Walter stood at the doorway, tilting his head up to watch the rain falling off the roof''s edge.
Quinn, who had been sitting inside for a while, faintly heard the sound of a car and rushed to the door. She cracked it open just enough to see a white car pulling away from the farm.Before she could make out the license te, her view was blocked by a figure.
Gripping the door frame, she looked up through the narrow opening to find Walter''s smiling face greeting her. Quinn swallowed hard, feeling as though she''d been cornered.Walter pushed open the door and asked her, "Can you cook?"She nodded."Get to it then."
Quinn hesitated, unsure if she''d heard him correctly. Her puzzled gaze met his. Walter seemed unfazed as he continued, "There''s a raincoat in the living room, kitchen''s to your left. You''ll find veggies in the garden and the backyard. It''s just us here, so go ahead and cook."As soon as he finished speaking, Quinn lowered her head and shuffled out.In the living room, she noticed three teacups on a round table.So the two people who had just visited knew Walter...Suppressing her spection, she scanned the room, finding the raincoat tucked in a corner.
