C102 Something Strange Had Happened

When I got home, my mother was busy preparing dinner while my father had just returned from work.

They greeted me warmly, and I greeted them back. My parents had never been interested in social media. They rarely used it and had no idea about the rumors and gossip that seemed to follow me these days.

As usual, they asked about my day. I smiled and replied, “It went well. Everyone in my department congratulated me again today.”

Seeing me in a good mood made them happy as well. Soon dinner was ready, and the three of us sat down to eat together.

While eating, I suddenly remembered the envelopes Alicia’s father’s security team had delivered earlier that day. “Oh right,” I said. “Something strange happened today.”

My parents looked at me curiously. “Alicia’s father’s security guards came to the company and gave her some envelopes. She said they were for us and that we should only open them when we got home.”

My parents exchanged surprised glances. “Envelopes?” my mother asked.

I immediately stood up, went to my room, and returned with the envelope. “I haven’t opened it yet.” I handed it to my father.

Quinton studied the envelope carefully before reading the name printed on it. “Mooney…”

His eyes narrowed slightly. “The Alicia you’re talking about is the daughter of the Minister of Police you once mentioned?”
