At the company, the evening air was cool, and the parking lot was nearly empty except for a few cars under the dim streetlights.
Ethan leaned slightly against his car, his arms crossed as his head spun through the events of the day.
A dead body in his company, a stolen project file and tampered CCTV footage. None of it made sense.
His jaw tightened as he suddenly recalled the file he received in the Philippines a month ago.
He had tucked it away in his office, not thinking much of it at the time.
'Could that file hold the answers?' he thought.
Before he could dwell on it any further, a soft touch pulled him out of his thoughts.
"Ethan…"
He blinked and turned his head. Charlotte stood beside him, her eyes filled with concern as her hand gently rested on his arm.
"Are you okay?" she asked softly.
Ethan let out a small breath and pulled her into his arms, wrapping his arms around her waist.
