"This is not a matter of great consequence," he stated before abruptly ending the call.
In a moment of bewilderment, Soren remained silent upon hearing the busy signal from his phone.
Alexander casually tossed the phone onto the table, returning his attention to the documents in his hand, while the surveince feed from the vi illuminated the screen on his left.
Ruby knocked on the door, holding a set of documents. She approached Alexander''s desk and handed him the papers. "Alexander, these are thepany''s annual reports. Landon asked me to deliver a copy to you. Please have a look." Alexander took them absentmindedly, flipping through the pages until he reached thest one, already signed by Landon.
He tossed them carelessly back onto the table without further scrutiny.
After a while, when Ruby showed no intention of leaving, Alexander raised his head and inquired, "Anything else?"
"We''re just half a month away from the vacation," Ruby stated.
"And then?" Alexander prompted.
"Do you have any ns for the break?" Ruby inquired.
Alexander''s gaze lingered on her face momentarily before answering, "Are you asking about business or personal matters?"
Ruby smiled, "Just making conversation."
Closing the documents and leaning back in his chair, Alexander engaged in small talk with Ruby in rxation, "Seems like you are eager for the break. Any ns?"
"I have no particr ns, just looking to head home."
"Where is your home, Ruby?"
"My hometown is Sylvadora."
"Sylvadora?" Alexander furrowed his brow in contemtion before saying, "Alright, you can go now."
Ruby nodded slightly and turned to leave.
Once she departed, Alexander picked up the internal phone on his desk and made a call. Shortly after, the call connected.
"Alexander, what are your orders this time?" Walter''s voice,ced with a smile, came through the receiver.
"Walter, do you have any ns for the break?"

"Not yet finalized. Do you have anything in mind, Alexander?"
"If you have no priormitments, join me on a business trip to Sylvadora. There''s a project there."
A prolonged silence ensued on the line. Eventually, Walter replied, "That sounds good."
Alexander chuckled and added, "By the way, I heard there''s a hot air balloon base in Sylvadora. Do you know that?"
After a brief pause, Walter chuckled, "Seems like you''ve caught me off guard there, I haven''t been to Sylvadora. If you''re interested, I can look into it."
"No need, just prepare well. I''ll have the project details sent to you."
"Understood."
Ending the call, Alexander hung up and cast a nceat the screen on hisputer.
Quinn had been unconscious for two days, not leaving her bedroom during this time. Although she had awoken today, her frail body kept her confined to the bed, unable to step out.

Getty had an evening event nned for today, continuously calling Alexander since morning. As the end of the workday approached, she called again.
"Alexander, have you finished work? I''m in thepany''s parking lot."
"Alright."
Shutting down hisputer, Alexander left the office.
Upon spotting him, Getty promptly ran over and embraced him, "I''ve been waiting for you for so long."
Looking down at her, Alexander asked, "Why should I go to your party?"
Getty chuckled, "Of course, to apany me, so I don''t... well..."Content rights belong to N?velDrama.Org.
She stopped mid-sentence, remembering thest time she drank too much, feeling ufortable about it, a feeling that resurfaced every time she thought about it.
Especially when she was with Alexander, she felt she couldn''t hold her head up high and dared not tempt him again.
She could only be thankful that Alexander had no intention of sleeping with her; this way, she could keep this secret hidden forever.
