Hugo Hayes: "What's your name?"
The female doctor was so frightened her legs went weak, her face pale as a sheet: "Commander Hayes, my name is J-Juniper Payne..."
In the hallway.
The few henchmen lowered their gazes, too terrified to watch what was about to unfold.
The fury they expected never came.
Hugo Hayes nodded calmly: "You said what others didn't have the courage to say. There's a reward—this month's salary, doubled."
After dropping this remark.
Without lingering, Hugo Hayes carried Ellie Doyle in his arms and strode off.
The hallway returned to silence.
It wasn't until the female doctor snapped out of her stunned state that she realized her inner shirt was soaked with cold sweat.
Her legs gave way again, and she leaned against the wall just to barely stay upright.
Recalling the scene earlier, she couldn't help but feel a lingering fear.
Wiping the sweat off her forehead, she silently vowed never to gossip again!
Cafeteria.
