Freya's heart fluttered with apprehension as she clutched Walter's hand. "Are you certain everything's okay?" she asked. She had accidentally overheard their father's phone conversation earlier, which had left her feeling uneasy. Walter offered her a reassuring pat on the hand. "It's nothing. I'll be right back, don't worry." With that, he withdrew his hand and ascended the staircase.

"Alex, you must help Walter. He's been nothing but loyal to the company for years, never faltering in his work, as you well know," Freya implored, her eyes pleading.
