“What are you doing tiptoeing around?” When she was about to move forward, someone boomed from behind, shocking her.
She turned around and saw a few guards boring their eyes into her. “Don’t take this the wrong way. I’m Margaret, a reporter. Here’s my ID.” She quickly handed her ID over for confirmation. “I want to interview the leader in there for a bit,” she told them what she had in mind.
“No. He doesn’t accept any interviews. Everything they talk about is top secret, so please leave.” She was chased out of the backstage abruptly. It wasn’t easy for her to meet Mr. Garrison, so she wouldn’t give up now.
“We should leave now, Margaret. Everyone else has already left,” her partner urged.
“You guys go ahead. I’ll wait for him at the passage.” Margaret came to the hall’s secret passage. Few people knew about this, for this was exclusively for leaders. Even so, Margaret easily found it and waited here.
She believed Mr. Garrison would leave via this passage, so she would take the chance to interview him then. Margaret staked out at this place, but she almost fell asleep after waiting for god knew how long. Unbeknownst to her, Levi would be staying here for a couple of days because he would be making the plans here.
Meantime, Levi was already taking a nap on the sofa. Margaret thought he would come out in the end, so she waited until dusk, but still he didn’t appear. “I can’t give up! This chance is too important for me,” she cheered herself up.
When it was time to get off work, Levi checked around and left from the front gate, since he didn’t know where the secret passage was.
It wasn’t until almost nine in the evening did someone come out from the secret passage, and Margaret’s legs were already numb. She quickly went up and asked, “Is Mr. Garrison coming out soon?”
“Huh? He left a long while ago,” the staff replied.
Margaret almost exploded. “What? He left? When? I’ve been waiting right here all the time!”
“You waited here? No wonder you missed him! He left through the front gate. It’s been almost two hours.”
Margaret almost went mad. “What!?” I’ve been waiting at the wrong spot all this while!? It’s alright, I have no regrets. I’d come back again tomorrow.
Margaret’s whole body was sore after going back, and she felt angry. “Oh yeah, I can vent this on Levi.” She fished out her phone and punched in the latter’s number soon after.
His case was still spreading like wildfire, so everyone was still talking about it. At the same time, someone anonymously exposed Levi’s wife, his parents-in-law, their working places, and their house address.
Suddenly, Zoey and her family were dragged into this. She was the boss of Oriental Star Group, so many people started boycotting the company, resulting in a significant loss overnight.
The medical staff called and asked Caitlyn to refrain from coming to work for a few days, or else it would look bad on the hospital.
Aaron’s department also suspended him for the time being, putting his salary on hold. Everyone didn’t want this matter to affect them, and nobody could see the matter snowballing to this degree.
“Didn’t Levi say he can handle this? Then why is this matter getting more serious?”
