Chapter 531: We have two hands

Everyone who had seen the article — those aware of Slater's relationship with the woman he was being linked to - and was now staring at Slater's latest post on the most popular social media platform had only one question in mind.

"How is this supposed to fix anything?" Atlas blurted, staring at the tablet in utter confusion. "He must be losing his mind."

Atlas shook his head, a little worried, especially since Allen had rushed to his office because of this article. But after seeing the post, he decided it was not important. The article could be easily debunked with just one family photo.

"This is ridiculous," Atlas said, handing the tablet to Allen, who was standing in front of his desk. "Let it be. Slater's losing his mind, and if someone's losing their mind, just let them be. They'll get it together, eventually."

"Huh?!" Allen wrinkled his nose as he accepted the tablet. "Sir, isn't what you just said the least effective way to deal with someone who's losing their mind?"

"With my brothers, it's different," Atlas said, readjusting his posture and resting his arm on the desk, preparing to dive back into work. "I've tested this theory with Hugo. It's best to let them be. Hugo always loses his mind when he's away from the combat zone. This is the same with Slater. The man's finally having his first vacation since his career started. Don't worry. He'll eventually find something to occupy his mind and time."

With that, Atlas returned his full attention to the document he was working on. As for Allen, he just stood there, staring at his boss with conflicted eyes.

"Well." Allen sighed in defeat. "I guess I won't need to contact Mr. James about this, then."

"Mhm. They can settle this on their own."

Allen lowered his head a bit, deciding not to push the matter further. Atlas might be busy, but he was never too busy when it came to his family. He had always been involved in Slater's career, helping the agency whenever they needed an extra hand. So, if Atlas deemed this article unimportant, then it probably wasn't.

Besides, how could it be important? The woman Slater was being linked to was his sister!

With that realization, Allen quietly approached the exit, intending to let his boss get back to work. But just as he reached the door, he stopped and looked back.
