The next morning, Sean frantically tried to reach his boss, but no matter how many times he called, Kalix didn't answer.
It had come as a complete shock to everyone when Kingstone had suddenly appeared out of nowhere, accusing Winter of bribing him to fabricate the evidence in front of the media.
Since then, they'd been desperately trying to get in touch with both Kalix and Winter, but neither of them had answered their phones.
"Where the hell did they go?" Sean muttered to himself, barely holding it together. Panic and frustration mixed in his chest as he stared at the unresponsive screen. He couldn't help but feel the weight of everything crashing down on him. This situation was spiraling out of control.
Just when Sean thought things couldn't get any worse, the phone in his hand buzzed. His heart leaped, and he quickly answered, praying it was Kalix. To his relief, it was.
"Boss, Kingstone he-" Sean tried to speak, but the words Kalix said left him stunned.
