"I..." Mentioning this, Alfred Garland found it somewhat difficult to speak. He moved his lips hesitantly and only after a long pause did he say softly, "Amadeus and I went to inspect cargo at an overseas port..."
Nathalie Quinlan knew about the matter even without his explanation, as the cargo was her raw stones.
She followed Alfred Garland inside the building and noticed there were still quite a few people in the hallway, either standing or sitting, all exuding an aggressive atmosphere not to be trifled with.
Some were even holding computers.
Seeing Alfred Garland leading her over, some frowned with sharp glances that fell on her like knives, scrutinizing and rejecting.
They seemed puzzled as to why Alfred Garland would let her through.
"And then?"
Alfred Garland looked up at her. Normally, this was supposed to be confidential, and he shouldn't have told Nathalie Quinlan, but for some reason, he felt an inexplicable trust towards the girl in front of him.
