CEO's Passion: Love by Mistake

The man did as told while Shane and Silas kept quiet as they watched from the side.

However, the call didn't get through, and all they heard was an automated message saying the number was no longer in service.

Shane clenched his fists tightly while a wide-eyed Silas asked in shock, “Is this phone bugged?”

The man shook his head profusely. “No, it isn't! It really isn't!”

Silas grabbed him by the collar and asked, “Were you having a conversation with Sean while stealing the documents? Did he hear my voice and realize you were caught?”

“No, I wasn't on a call with him! I wouldn't dare do so! Some companies have sensors that sound the alarm when they detect an unrecognized signal from calls being made. I was afraid that this company had those sensors installed too, so I didn't dare make any calls at all!” the man explained.

Silas froze.

He's right. Most companies do have such sensors installed, and Mr. Shane's office is no exception. Only a few phone numbers have been saved into the system, so phone signals from any other number would definitely trigger the alarm. That means this guy is telling the truth.

“This is just one of Sean's plans,” Shane spoke up all of a sudden.

Silas looked at him in confusion. “One of his plans?”

“Sean knew it wouldn't be easy to steal the equity transfer agreement. He didn't have much chance at success the first time, so he never expected this attempt to be successful either. That's why Sean deactivated his number so quickly,” Shane explained while rubbing his eyebrows.

“So, this man is a pawn that Sean has abandoned?” Silas asked with a glint in his eye.

Shane nodded. “That's right.”
