Chapter 275: Just A Business Meeting IV
Ewan knew the moment Athena unearthed the name of the mole.
He felt a pang of hurt for her as he watched a myriad of emotions wash across her face—disbelief, pain, anger, and ultimately, resignation—an acceptance steeped in the confirmation of a suspicion.
"You suspected him at one point?" He asked, wanting to prolong their time together, a fleeting connection forged in urgency and uncertainty.
Athena nodded somberly, her eyes glued to the document that held the damning evidence. Her mind raced, consuming every detail about the man in question, the man she once thought loyal.
"But there are still some loopholes..." She dropped the phone on the table, disappointment roiling within her. She wished the document was longer, filled with more answers to her many questions.
"From Spider?" She met Ewan’s gaze when he remained silent, his expression thoughtful.
"Yes. What do you think about it?" Ewan asked, reclining deeper into his seat, his arms crossed over his chest as he studied her. Athena seemed eager to talk, the tension in the air crackling with unspent energy.
"I think he did a very good job," She replied, then paused, shaking her head slightly. "You were right earlier. I suspected him of this, but I discounted it because of the history we shared and the common goals we had before appointing him as the head of the Nimbus operation."
She sighed, her mind bombarded with the weight of the information Spider had uncovered on Alvarez. It was revealed that he had been in cahoots with Morgan or whatever higher-up was orchestrating the chaos surrounding the Grey disease.
