[Pierson Corporation: CEO’s Office]
Zoren raised an eyebrow while a man in a suit straightened his back after whispering something in his ear. Seated on the one-seater couch, he glanced at the man.
"Someone stepped in?" he repeated, and the man nodded. "Did you find out who it was?"
"No, but we’re tracing the person’s tracks."
Zoren tilted his head. "And the person in the SUV?"
"We found the vehicle ditched several miles from the scene, but the people in it weren’t there anymore. We’re still checking the nearby hospitals and clinics. The incident is big enough to cause heavy injuries."
"I see." As soon as those words rolled off Zoren’s tongue, they heard a knock on the door before Benjamin entered.
The man in the suit took a step back and bowed to Zoren. "Thank you, CEO Pierson. I’ll excuse myself now."
Without waiting for Zoren’s verbal reply, the man turned around and left, lowering his head as he walked past Benjamin.
"What is he doing here?" Benjamin asked, glancing at the man who had just closed the door behind him. When he faced Zoren again, he approached carefully, confusion evident on his face. "Sir, what’s that guy from the HR Department doing here?"
"Just asking about the employees. I heard there had been some complaints."
"Eh?" Benjamin furrowed his brows, placing some papers on Zoren’s desk. "Sir, since when have you started concerning yourself with this?"
"The board meeting is already finished, but the family meeting isn’t. I simply want to make sure there aren’t any holes they could use to get to me."
"Ahh..." Benjamin nodded, somewhat convinced but not entirely. "The family meeting is tomorrow. Is there anything else you want to check?"
Zoren pondered and rubbed his chin. "I don’t think there’s more."
"Sir, are you sure?"
"Yes." Zoren smiled. "Call for Doctor Tan later. I would like to have one last check-up with him before tomorrow."
"Oh!" Benjamin perked up and nodded. "I’ll call him then."
Having said that, Benjamin smiled subtly and glanced at the food on the coffee table. He smiled, seeing that the food had been touched, indicating that Zoren was eating well. Without idling, Benjamin excused himself and left Zoren.
Meanwhile, Zoren kept his eyes on the door until it closed. He drew a deep breath, snapping his gaze to the table in front of him.
"A red sports car?" he whispered, narrowing his eyes. "Another person to be concerned about?"
From what he heard, the person in the red sports car had saved Atlas from a terrible accident. Even though that red sports car didn’t appear, Zoren’s men were already there for Atlas; it was just that the red sports car had beaten them to it.
"I was right," he whispered again. "They would target Atlas, but who is this person?"
A part of him was relieved that Atlas was fine, but at the same time, Zoren couldn’t shake off this complicated and indescribable feeling about the driver of the red sports car. For some reason, he couldn’t fully feel relieved, even though the person had saved Atlas.
If anything, it only raised many questions, such as Who and Why?
*******
Meanwhile, in a mechanic shop far away from the city, Slater stood at a distance from the ruined sports car. A shallow breath escaped his nostrils as he kept his attention on the vehicle while the mechanic inspecting it noticed him.
