Ken stood there, not knowing what to say. There wasn't a single sentence that could truly make Audrey's situation any better.In the end, he simply said softly, "You'll find one."Audrey looked at him."A better job?"Ken gave a small nod."If that company is really the way you described it… then it probably wasn't a place worth holding on to in the first place."He paused briefly."The important thing now is that you stay careful."Audrey looked at him for a few seconds before nodding. A faint smile returned to her face."Don't worry. I can take care of myself."There was no arrogance in those words. Only quiet confidence.Audrey leaned back against the sofa."Otherwise… I would've stayed quiet and obeyed them from the very beginning."Ken couldn't argue with that. The woman before him truly didn't seem like someone who could be easily intimidated. Perhaps that was exactly why she had ended up losing her job.In the end, Ken simply nodded."Then... I'll head to my room. Get some rest

The coordinates Adrian sent led to a city park in the northern business district.The place wasn't particularly crowded. A few office workers were sitting on benches, enjoying their coffee, while others hurried along the pedestrian paths toward the surrounding office buildings.Ken parked his electric motorcycle by the roadside. He slung the black bag over his shoulder and walked toward the designated location.Beneath the shade of a large tree stood a park bench, positioned slightly out of sight from the main walkway.Exactly as Adrian had described.Ken stood beside the bench. He didn't sit down or play with his phone. He simply watched the people passing by from time to time.Time passed slowly until footsteps approached from behind."Excuse me."Ken turned around. A man in a black suit, perhaps in his early forties, stopped directly in front of him. His appearance was immaculate, his shoes were polished. His gaze was calm, almost too calm to read.The man glanced at the black bag

Ken's electric motorcycle finally came to a stop on the roadside.The front wheel had not even completely stopped spinning when the man behind him hurriedly climbed off.“Urgh...”Mr. Richard bent over at the edge of the sidewalk. The sound of him vomiting echoed several times, causing a few pedestrians to instinctively turn their heads.One hand rested on his knee while the other pressed against his chest, trying to calm his still-churning stomach.Ken had just taken off his helmet when the sight made him freeze."..."His gaze shifted from Mr. Richard to his electric motorcycle, then back again.“I'm sorry, Sir.”He awkwardly scratched his cheek.“I... took quite a lot of turns back there.”Mr. Richard merely raised one hand without looking at him. The gesture clearly told Ken not to say anything yet.“Urgh...”Ken instinctively covered his own mouth.On the sidewalk, several people began slowing their pace. One man even nudged his friend while pointing at Ken's motorcycle.“Poor gu

Ken only truly slowed down after he had left the business district far behind.He chose to stop at a convenience store by the roadside. He parked his electric motorcycle beneath a tree before getting off and removing his helmet.The moment both feet touched the ground, he let out a long breath.“Whew...”Only now did he realize just how tense his body had been all this time.His shoulders, which had been stiff for so long, slowly relaxed. Even his hands still felt slightly cold when he remembered how that black sedan had kept chasing them.Ken patted his own cheeks.“It’s over.”He tried to convince himself.But only a few seconds after sitting on a small bench near the convenience store, Ken reached for his phone to check the time.A missed call appeared on the screen. Ken immediately sat up straighter.“Mr. Adrian?”He did not waste any time and immediately pressed the call-back button.The phone rang several times.“Ken,” Adrian’s voice sounded as calm as usual.Ken felt slightly r

Audrey finally moved. Her face was still stiff, but her voice slowly returned.“I no longer work at Bright Horizon.”Her tone was flat, but there was clear pressure behind every word. She took a short breath.“So if you’re calling about work, there’s nothing left to discuss with me.”The voice on the other end sounded again.Audrey immediately clenched her jaw.“I’ve also handed over everything that was under my responsibility. If your company has a problem, deal with it yourselves.”A hint of sarcasm began to creep into her voice.“Don’t come looking for me just because you’ve only now remembered who used to handle everything.”Ken, sitting across from her, said nothing. His hand was still holding his spoon, but its movement had stopped. He could hear part of the conversation clearly.Audrey stared blankly ahead.“And I have nothing to do with that company anymore.”A few seconds later, the voice from the other end sounded again. This time, Audrey’s expression changed. Not much, only
