Chapter 42
Raymond, George and Julie was summoned again for the second time by their boss. She wanted to give clear instructions on what she had mentioned earlier about Julie new task.
Whilst in there, Raymond didn’t lose his cool when he found out Julie would have to move for her job. Inside, he was hurting, but on the outside, he kept himself composed.
He couldn’t let anyone, especially their boss, suspect anything was going on between him and Julie. No matter how upset he was, he had to act like everything was fine.
Their boss’s voice broke the tension in the room. "Julie, once you arrive in Fremantle City, you’ll start investigating Steve Darlene’s case, okay?" She directed the question to Julie, and the room instantly fell silent.
Even George was stunned by the announcement.
Everyone knew Steve Darlene’s name, but no one had ever met him. Julie going to another city to investigate him was a surprise to all.
Julie hesitated for a second, her voice shaking as she replied, "But no one has ever seen him, ma’am. No one knows what he looks like. He’s kept himself hidden for years."
Their boss gave her a firm look. "That’s exactly why I’m entrusting this task to you, Julie. You’re the most suited for this kind of mission."
"Yes, ma’am. I’ll do my best," Julie said, her voice still a bit shaky. She didn’t want to argue with their boss. The best thing she could do now was follow orders and hope she could get the job done.
