Roxanne slowed her breathing and pressed the numbers one by one.
There was a dull click.
The safe opened.

She let out a heavy breath of relief and quickly took out all the documents inside, spreading them across the desk. Turning her head, she said, “Hurry up and take pictures. I’ll keep watch.”
Dawn walked over with her phone and flipped through the documents page by page. Some were forms rted to the current project,pletely iprehensible <i>to </i>her. What surprised her was that there were also financial records rted to the foundation.
“Are you done yet?!” Roxanne snapped, her face tense. “Can you move any

Dawn already speeding up and said, “Stop rushing me. I’m almost done.”
As time dragged on, both of them grew more and more anxious.
The hallway outside waspletely empty, dead silent. The eerie quiet carried a strong sense of something about to go wrong.
Finally, Dawn finished taking photos. She gathered the documents, put them back into the folder, slid it into the lower safe, and closed it.
Roxanne exhaled. “Let’s go. If Christian ever finds out, we’re both finished.”
“Wait,” Dawn said suddenly, her gaze freezing as she sucked in a sharp breath.
Roxanne followed her line of sight. In the corner, a security camera blinked with a faint red light, shing slowly like a cold, watchful eye.
“There’s surveince… No, that can’t be,” Roxanne said, forcing herself to stay calm. She shook her head. “At least it’s not connected to his phone. I’ve never seen him check it, and I’ve never found any monitoring apps on his phone.”
“Then where would it feed to? The security room?” Dawn asked.
That did not make sense either. Everything in here was strictly confidential to him. He would never let other people see the inside of it.
Dawn and Roxanne exchanged a look and arrived at the same conclusion at the same time.

Christian’s office.

At that moment, footsteps echoed down the empty hallway outside, sharp and chilling.
Christian’s long legs cast stretched shadows against the wall as he strode toward the office. A security guard hurried after him, already out of breath.
“Mr. Hoffman, why are you here so suddenly?” the guard asked nervously.
“Is there a problem?” Christian replied.
“N–no,” the guard stammered.
Christian’s sharp gaze fixed on him, his brow tightening. “Then what exactly are you doing?”
The guard was clearly terrified. His eyes darted everywhere, unable to meet Christian’s. After a moment, he spoke haltingly. “I’m sorry. My wife was sick this morning, so I can didn’t have time to file for leave yet. When I saw you, I just felt guilty.” <ol><li>te. I </li></ol>
“That’s enough,” Christian said.
He had thought it was something serious.
Impatient, he said coldly, “Go submit the leave request. Your bonus for this month is out.”

“Yes, yes. Thank you, Mr. Hoffman. Thank you.”
The guard bowed repeatedly as he backed away, his heart still pounding.

He had no options left, as Christian had already opened the office door.
The room was empty and looked no different than usual. He scanned it out of habit, then opened the safe to retrieve what he needed.
Technically, confidential documents should not have been kept here, but he trusted no one. He needed to keep them somewhere reliable.
There was an old saying that the most dangerous ce was often the safest.
No one would ever think he would leave his most important things here.

Even though it was someone else’s factory, that woman was easy to fool. It was only a matter of time before it became his anyway.
What Christian never imagined was that Roxanne had always kept her guard up every time she came with him. He also never imagined that two women were hiding behind the cab at that very moment, having already stripped his secrets bare.
After taking the documents he needed, he locked the safe again and left.
A whileter, the sound of the guard seeing him off echoed outside.
Roxanne and Dawn instinctively exchanged a look of relief, then both awkwardly looked away.
Not long after, the two of them emerged and pushed the cab back into its original position.
“Let’s go. If he suddenlyes back, we’re going to be in real trouble,” Roxanne said.

“Roxanne.”
A clear voice called out from behind her. She stopped but did not turn around.
Dawn looked at her back and asked, “Why did you help me?”
<i>Why </i><i>did </i><i>she </i><i>help </i><i>her</i><i>? </i>
Even Roxanne did not know the answer.
She had simply had a dream one ordinary day, a dream about an unremarkable day in the past.
She had made a mistake at work and had been locked in istion by Vincent for a long time. When she was finally released, her body was covered in whip marks. She had a high fever and could barely walk, nearly copsing in the street.
Ethan had saved her. He took her to the hospital and even bought her meals in the local Crestavian style.
They were not close at the time, and she had treated him coldly.
“You helped me, you can ask for any reward you want. But I don’t need you to stay here anymore. You should leave,” she had said.
Ethan was not particrly warm–hearted. Still, he did not get angry. He only nced at her
