A New Lead

Unaware of the storm brewing back in his apartment, Edward was quite proud of himself for finding something that could get them yet another step closer to their end goal. The sleepless night he spent combing through the millions of numbers finally paid off. There was a name that struck him as suspicious and after digging deeper into it, he found a common connection to the list of names and subsidiary companies that CEO Zhu gave Scarlet.

"These are the companies that have one common shareholder," Edward said and opened a file on his laptop, snapping quickly out of his pensive mood. He wanted to get everything done within a week so that he could go back and apologise to Scarlet or even tell her some of the things that he had been up to. Scarlet must be feeling miserable enough to call for Alex. The model usually didn't leave this early according to Jasper. The text that she sent Jasper made Edward feel slightly relieved.
