Adeline’s expression changed subtly []

She suppressed her unease, keeping her composure as she asked, “Why lack the door? Is this question…” she paused, looking around at everyone, “a matter of confidentiality?]

Mateus quickly smiled. No, no, Miss Paige, don’t misunderstand. Supervisor Carlos has no ulterior motive. It’s just that this matter… isn’t meant for public knowledge.”

7 see So there’s a backstory,” she remarked.[]

Tes: You see, Miss Paige, these two individuals were among the factory’s earliest workers–a married couple. Later, they were Involved in a safety incident that left them disabled and unable to work. To avoid escalating the situation, we reached a settlement with them. The couple made an interesting request: to continue receiving salaries for fifteen years despite their disability

That’s quite the creative story []

Adeline pressed her lips together, remaining silent for a few seconds. She furrowed her brow, pretending to believe him as she nodded and continued the conversation. Then why not inform headquarters about this arrangement?“[]

“Well, those office types don’t understand workers‘ struggles. If we’d reported it, many people would have been implicated. Jobs aren’t easy to come by. Besides, whether paid as a lump sum or in installments, the total amount is similar.

“Mr. Costa, while I understand your compassion on a personal level, professionally speaking, this circumvents proper procedures. And look what’s happened–uninformed workers now think the place is haunted. That’s quite disturbing.”

“Yes, yes, we know it’s against protocol That’s why we wanted to discuss this with you directly. Perhaps we could handle this discreetly? Such a minor issue shouldn’t trouble the CEO. He manages an entire corporation–bothering him with something this trivial would be… unconscionable.

Adeline pretended to consider the proposal

After a moment, she said, Very well. However, I need to meet this disabled couple to verify the situation. If everything checks out, I won’t report it.”

Zarek finished the summit and attended the host’s dinner reception.[]

He returned to the hotel around eight o’clock []

With a video conference scheduled for later that evening, he was resting briefly in his room when Rex burst in urgently. “Adeline still hasn’t returned Her phone isn’t answering either.

Zarek frowned deeply, his hand pausing as he opened his laptop. “You haven’t been in contact all day?]

“No. We agreed last night she’d call if anything came up. She never called, so I assumed she’d already returned to the hotel.”

“Call the factory Ask about the situation“]

“Right away“]

Rex immediately made the call. When he finished, his expression had darkened. The factory says she left around 1:00 PML Given the timing, she should have been back hours ago. 1]

Zareks expression grew increasingly severe

He cameled the evenings video conference and summoned Victor Ferreira, the VP in charge of factory operations, to accompany them to the site. Meanwhile, he instructed factory personnel to review security footage and search the surrounding area.[]

Upon hearing the news, Civia insisted on joining them]

As Zareh and Rex were leaving the hotel they encountered a man in a dark blue shirt approaching with a murderous expression, accompanied by several others [

Zareh was checking the time on his phase, not noticing them, but Rex spotted the newcomer and stepped forward quickly to shield has boss from this “potential threat “[]

“…That–Rex began to panic as well. “Surely it’s not that serious? She was just constucting an investigation under the guise of a factory inspection. They wouldn’t even know her purpose. Even if they did, they wouldn’t go so far as to detain

Zarek rubbed his forehead anxiously, then decided, “Send word: If we don’t have news of Miss Patge within one hour, the entire management team of both the branch office and factory will be dismissed.“]

Rex was alarmed. “What reason will you give? They’ll demand justification, claiming it’s unfair.]

Zarek’s demeanor was that of an imperious monarch making a decisive judgment: “No reason needed. If they dare harm someone under my protection, they’ve demonstrated their disregard for me.”

Rex hesitated “But… we have no proof that something happened to her at the factory.

Zarek’s voice was resolute. “I trust my instincts.

Besides, there were no other options now… She had come with him, and he was determined to ensure her safety.[]

Adeline’s hands were bound behind her to a chair, her mouth covered with duct tape, her surroundings pitch black. She could hear ocean waves and smell the musty scent of rotting wood.]

That afternoon at the factory, Mateus had sent someone to fetch the couple. After half an hour, he’d told her they were waiting at a restaurant near the factory.[]

She had thought it’s broad daylight, the restaurant would be crowded, they wouldn’t dare try anything. She also wanted to see how far they would take their charade, so she agreed to go.
