"Sylvia! Sylvia!" Layla's voice echoed in panic as the call abruptly disconnected. Her heart raced, and without wasting another second, she stood up and hurried out of her seat. Grabbing her phone, she frantically dialed Lucius's number.
No response.
Her frustration grew as she stepped out of her office, her eyes scanning the corridor. Spotting Aiden engaged in a conversation with an employee, she made a beeline toward him.
"Aiden, I need to speak with you immediately," Layla said in an urgent tone.
Aiden turned to her, his brow furrowed at her expression. The employee quickly greeted Layla before excusing themselves, sensing the seriousness of the situation.
"Madam, what's wrong? You look... worried," Aiden asked with concern which was evident in his voice.
