What’s going on? What is the meaning behind that smile?

Although Irvin was freaking out, he still took out his phone and dialed Ethan’s number as soon as the elevator doors slid shut. Even if he failed to stop Alice from leaving, he should at least inform Ethan about the matter.

“Boss, I failed to keep her here. She left.”

“I’m already here. When did she leave?” Ethan’s voice was carried over the phone swiftly without the slightest pause.

“Huh? You’re already here? She just went downstairs, so she’s in the elevator right now.” Irvin was currently feeling a swirl of emotions that he couldn’t untangle.

I don’t know whether I hope he catches her or whether he fails to catch her… But, since he is already here, then this matter has nothing to do with me anymore. I didn’t stop her from leaving. But, since he is already here, he can stop her from leaving himself!

This service apartment in West City did not have an underground garage. In other words, she could only head to the first floor by taking the elevator. Ethan had mentioned that he was already here, so he must be in the lobby on the first floor. There was only one exit in this service apartment. He would be able to stop her from leaving as long as he waited on the first floor. With his abilities, nobody could possibly escape his clutches if he was intent on capturing them.

“Boss, she knows somebody is trying to stop her from leaving.” Irvin felt that it was essential to inform Ethan about the situation.

When he thought back to the smile she showed him just as the elevator doors closed, he suddenly felt uneasy. Her smile indicated that she clearly knew something. Moreover, she seemed as though she had a countermeasure to evade Ethan.

“Okay,” Ethan responded softly. He was standing right in front of the elevator in the lobby on the first floor.

On the other hand, Caleb, who came along with Ethan, was blocking the entrance to the stairway. It would be impossible for Alice to escape at this rate.

Ethan glanced at the numbers displayed on the elevator display. The elevator came down from the sixth floor and stopped on the fifth floor. His eyebrows twitched slightly at the sight.

“The elevator has stopped on the fifth floor. Does she plan to get off on the fifth floor? Or is she deliberately doing this to throw us off her trail?” Irvin was currently standing at the elevator entrance on the sixth floor, so it stood to reason that he had seen the same thing. At this moment, he was on the phone with Ethan. “Boss, I believe she might be deliberately trying to lure you upstairs.”
