“I called Dn, boss.


    Is something wrong?”


    “Is that so?”


    Hannah’s face was unreadable as she held up the phone.


    The call log showed no recent outgoing calls.


    “How exactly did you manage to make that call?”


    A sense of dread washed over Dotson.


    Darn it!


    Caught up in the urgency to get in touch with Bryson, he hadpletely forgotten to pretend to call Dn!


    “Well, um… I charged my phone.


    After it turned on, I ended up using my own phone instead of yours.


    ”


    “Huh?” Hannah reached out her hand towards Dotson.


    “Let’s see the call history on your phone.


    ”


    Her voice carried a coldness that made Dotson tremble.


    Noticing his hesitation, her face grew even sterner.


    “I can’t stand being lied to, especially by those I trust.


    Dotson, you’ve never deceived me before.


    ”


    Her words shattered Dotson’s defenses.


    He walked up to the desk looking defeated, unable to make eye contact.


    “I… I ended up reading the messages on your phone.


    ”


    Hannah looked at the message mentioning Leviathan.


    She tapped her fingers lightly on the desk.


    “Who put you up to this? You wouldn’t have lied to me on your own.


    ”


    Dotson swallowed hard and confessed, “It was Maloney’s idea! We… We’re just really concerned about your safety, boss…”


    “Nonsense!”


    Hannah mmed her phone down on the desk, her expression seething with anger.


    “So, you thought it was eptable to snoop into my phone? And did you actually tell them what you found? Did you?”


    Dotson quickly shook his head, panic evident.


    “No, no! I only told them… You were in danger.


    I didn’t mention Leviathan at all!”


    Hannah ced her hand on her forehead and took a deep breath.


    “Dotson, how should I handle this? You were swayed by a few persuasive words and allowed yourself to be manipted.


    Perhaps you should consider buying a ticket and heading back home.


    ”


    Dotson’s eyes widened in panic.


    “Boss! I truly understand my mistake Given a thousand chances… I wouldn’t make the same mistake again Hannah, visibly exhausted, maintained her hand on her forehead.Owned by N?velDrama.Org.

    Maloney and Bryson were now together.


    If Maloney knew, then Bryson knew as well.


    She had worked tirelessly to keep this secret from Bryson, anxious about his impulsiveness.
