"Orion, don't worry! Xan, she's at the villa, and Matthew won't find her there."

Before Leonard could finish his sentence, the man had already disappeared from the conference room.

"Sorry, Ms. Thomas, let's reschedule the contract signing."

He hurried out, chasing after him.

Roxanne watched all these in shock.
