C49 You saw a Devil

What neither of them noticed was that from a nearby corridor, another pair of eyes had been watching everything.

Ben’s secretary. And the smile forming on her face suggested that she had already begun planning something else.

While I was buried in my thoughts, a shadow suddenly appeared in front of my desk. I looked up and nearly jumped.

Alicia was standing there. Her hands were behind her back as she stared at me. Before I could even ask why she was there, she spoke. “Your brother is waiting outside.”

I blinked in confusion. Then I suddenly remembered. Chris. I had completely forgotten to tell him that I wasn’t going for lunch.

Quickly, I grabbed my phone. The screen was black. No battery. “No wonder,” I muttered.

Without wasting another second, I rushed out of the office.

As soon as I stepped outside, I saw Chris pacing back and forth. “Brother!” I shouted. He immediately turned around.

The moment he saw me, relief appeared on his face. “Brother, are you alright?” he asked. “I’ve been calling you for ages. You didn’t answer and you never came out for lunch.”

Then he looked at me more carefully. The relief slowly disappeared. His expression darkened. “You saw that devil again, didn’t you?”
