The City Held Its Silence byIrel Knx 241

I glared down at her, and in her eyes flashed realisation. She knew there would consequences for doing something like this. So she had to take it. 

She continued to struggle, but my grip was firm. 

I walked through the burst door of the office. The employee who the office belc was waiting outside with my bodyguards. 

You can go inside and work. The door will be fixed in due time,” I informed him. 

“Yes, chairman,” he said. 

“You see how you’ve inconvenienced others,” I told Jasmine as I walked away, still holding her. 

“Oh, please,” she said to me in annoyance. “Are you really going to carry me all the to your office?” 

Yes, I was. I thought to myself. Couldn’t have you trying to slip away again. 

Every employee moving through the hallway looked at us as I made my way to the elevator. I saw Jasmine’s embarrassment on her face as she felt the eyes on us. I scoffed. 

One of the bodyguards called the elevator upon reaching it. I looked down at Jasmin as we waited, who had finally given up on fighting and was quiet. 

She was staring at nothing in particular and seemed lost in her thoughts. Perhaps sh was thinking about the phone call she had just made? However, one of my eyebrows cocked as I noticed she looked a little…sad? 

Why aren’t you happy? I thought to myself. Didn’t you just come from talking to the Carrington boy? So why the long face? My eyes narrowed as I wondered why she appeared like this. 

The elevator then arrived. 

“Make sure no one else gets in the elevator with us,” instructed the bodyguards as the doors opened and I went inside. I would show Jasmine what was going to happen from now on. An opportunity like that was never going to happen again. 

Every time the elevator stopped, the bodyguards would inform the caller to use the

try to escape again if given the chance. But, at the same time, I knew she loved a cared deeply for Anthony, so she would prioritize finding him. Which was proba big reason why she stayed. We had been working well in the last week as well… She wasn’t going to run away, but she was going to contact that boy… 

I looked into her mesmerizing green eyes and almost felt an ache in my heart. 

I then cleared my throat to get a hold of myself. “I have a meeting in 10 minutes,” her as I looked down at my watch. Ignoring what she had mentioned before. “You continue to look through the files.” 

“For fuck’s sake, Keith,” she said in frustration. 

I would consider what she told me, but for now, it was still too risky. 

I left the office and turned to the 4 bodyguards I had asked for that were already stationed outside the office as well. 

I turned to one of them before I went to the meeting. “I want you to find out everyt you can about what is happening with the Carringtons‘ youngest son, Louis Carrington.” 

Given Jasmine’s demeanor after the call, I was curious to know if something was goi 

1. on. 

“Yes, sir,” he accepted the order. 

“Give me the file when I’m not with my wife,” I specifically instructed him. 

I then continued to make my way to the meeting. 

I thought about how I would typically request Edward to do it; however, since he was suspect, I would have to ask my bodyguards.
