C67 What Move Will Ben Make Next

The next morning, I woke up early and washed up as usual.

Before leaving my room, I checked my phone. Nothing. No trending posts. No rumors. Nothing at all. I frowned slightly. “That’s strange,” I muttered.

But then I remembered what Alicia had said yesterday, that this wasn’t the first time something like this had happened to her. And that she would handle it. A small smile formed on my face.

So this is how people at that level operate, I thought. A battle of power… I wondered what kind of move Ben would make next. Hopefully nothing that would cost me my job.

With that thought in mind, I walked to the dining area. My mother had already prepared breakfast. My father and I sat down together. While we ate, my mother looked at me with concern.

“Son, how are you feeling today?” She paused slightly. “Are you still thinking about what happened yesterday?”

I smiled reassuringly. “No, Mom. I’m fine.” “Everything from yesterday has already disappeared. I think the Minister of Police handled it.”

Both of my parents stopped for a moment.

My father was the first to speak. “Really? And how would that happen?” My mother, slightly relieved, added quickly, “So we don’t need to worry anymore? Your company won’t punish you?”

I nodded honestly. “I don’t know yet. I’ll see what happens today.” We spoke a little more before I left for work.
