Chapter 832: They wanted more

"... 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.

Under normal circumstances, Stephen would've easily taken that as an insult. However, Stephen wasn't in the mood, nor did he have the energy to deal with such insensitivity at the moment.

"Atlas, do you think someone is watching us?" Stephen asked, looking at the CCTV camera in the corner of the ceiling of the elevator. "Can those watching hear what we're talking about?"

"They do." Atlas arched a brow, glancing at Stephen nonchalantly. He was just glad that Stephen didn't nitpick on him today. "Uncle, are you sure you're okay? You still seem off and you've been acting strangely."

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."

"Ahh..."

"So, it's safe," Atlas remarked. "Penny reassured me that her people were trained to ignore anything they hear-whatever it is."
