Chapter 67: Suicide Mission
After Josh ended the call, Alvin glanced toward Alex’s office. He hesitated to enter and share what he had just heard from Josh about Aurora.
"Should I interrupt his meeting?" Alvin silently questioned himself as he approached Alex’s office. He halted for a moment before knocking on the door.
Just before Alvin could knock, the door swung open, and Patrick Wallace appeared from behind it with a surprised expression.
Noticing Patrick’s distressed look, Alvin quickly understood that Alex was in a foul mood.
The idea of entering Alex’s office to inform him about his wife felt like a suicide mission. He hesitated again.
’Damn! What should I do? I need to speak to him now... but what if he scolds me again?’ Alvin felt stressed.
"Alvin, why are you standing here? Do you want to meet Alex?" Patrick asked, closing the door behind him.
"Yes. Is he in a good mood?" Alvin asked, anxiously running his fingers through his hair.
"Well, if you want my two cents, don’t you dare step into that room unless he gives you the apparent green light," Patrick said with a grin, noticing the nervous look in his eyes.
Alvin took a deep breath.
He saw this coming. His boss had been acting strangely lately; there was just something off—Alex never wanted to return home, using work as an excuse. He isolated himself in his office, only emerging when he needed to return to his apartment to sleep or freshen up.
