Chapter 17:

“Ms. Rachel Marsh might have indeed moved out.”

Ronald’s words landed like stones, each one heavier than the last.

Brian’s long fingers curled into a fist, his expression unreadable. After a brief silence, his voice came, cold and detached. “Find her. And tell her to come back—for the suit.”

“Yes, sir.”

With that, Ronald turned and headed straight for the design department.

Rachel had just wrapped up a department meeting and was returning to her office when she spotted him waiting by the door. A flicker of surprise crossed her face.

“Ms. Marsh.” Ronald always addressed her formally at work.

Without wasting time, he relayed the issue about the suit.

Rachel listened, then gave a small nod. “Alright, I’ll go back and get it later.”

“Thank you.”

By the time Rachel arrived at the villa, the sun had already dipped below the horizon.

The house, untouched for days, sat in eerie silence, swallowed in darkness.

Flipping on the lights, she made her way straight to the bedroom.

Something felt off. The door was open.

But she clearly remembered closing it when she left.

However, she didn’t dwell on it. She quickly found the suit and called Ronald.

“Ronald, I have the suit. I’ll bring it over later.”

“Mr. White said you need to deliver it to him personally.”

“Are you avoiding me?” A familiar voice suddenly came from behind. Rachel froze. Turning around, she stared at Brian in astonishment.
