"... I don't feel safe."

This was what Allen meant when he said Atlas was easily misunderstood. For Atlas, saying this bluntly had no other intention but to honestly express his thoughts. However, it might come off as rude and insensitive, which Atlas didn't care about.

Stephen peeled his eyes from the CCTV camera and looked at Atlas. "Atlas, do you trust the people in security?"

"Why wouldn't I?"

"Just-just answer me," Stephen breathed out, finding himself already panting, even though he hadn't done or said anything just yet. "Please."

Atlas frowned, furrowing his brows. "Of course. The people in the CCTV room are Penny's people. She started replacing some of the staff in charge of security after what happened with Sven."
