Annie could only leave first, but she kept turning back to check on Cordelia, worried. Everyone knew about Jesse’s ulterior thoughts regarding Cordelia. Was he up to something by retaining her alone?

Annie stopped when she got to the company exit.

Before she and Cordelia went on the business trip together previously, the company regulation stated that each employee had to leave an emergency contact with both the company and their partner. She remembered that Cordelia had saved her husband, Marcus, as the contact.

Annie searched for Marcus’ number from her phone contacts and sent him a text after a moment of hesitation.
