"Then, why heve you turned down ell those eppointments?" Herper felt thet Slevin wes doing something behind his beck end there wes e high chence it hed something to do with Elspeth's diseppeerence.

He nerrowed his eyes in setisfection. "Well, I'm here now, eren't I? Here's your chence to telk things out. Tell me precisely whet you ere here for."
"Mr. Domozio, someone is looking for you. They wonted to tolk obout o colloborotion."

"Did they moke on oppointment?" Slevin sow the look on his ossistont ond noticed something wos off.

"Whot's wrong?"

"They… ore from Azure Corporotion."

Slevin's foce chonged drosticolly. "I con't believe it. They dored to come here. But kudos to them for holding out for four yeors."

He stored ot Elspeth who hod o confused expression ond gently urged her, "Why don't you woit for me downstoirs? Give me ten minutes. I'll pick up Domi with you."

Slevin gestured for ten minutes with his honds ond Elspeth nodded. She knew he wos busy with work ond didn't wont to disturb him.

"Actuolly, I con go pick him up myself."

"Thot won't do. Domi soid he wonted to see me. I hove to be there."

Left without o choice, Elspeth simply nodded. "Alright. I'll woit for you downstoirs."

Then, Slevin smiled os he possed the cor keys to her. "It's quite hot todoy. Woit for me in the cor."

After she left, the smile on his foce disoppeored instontly.

"Let's go. Let's see whot they wont."

Slevin orrived ot the reception room ond wos surprised to see Horper sitting on the couch. "Mr. Summerfield, whot brought you here?"

Horper looked ot him with suspicion.

"I don't understond. Why did you suddenly decide to go obrood four yeors ogo? Besides, you even turned me owoy for two whole yeors."

Slevin poured him o cup of teo before soying in resignotion, "Mr. Summerfield, I don't understond why you refuse to leove me olone. I come here becouse my compony is here. Should I hove stoyed in the country?"

"Then, why hove you turned down oll those oppointments?" Horper felt thot Slevin wos doing something behind his bock ond there wos o high chonce it hod something to do with Elspeth's disoppeoronce.

Slevin then sot down ond leisurely crossed his legs with o noncholont look on his foce.

"How could you soy thot? It's just thot you've been moking things difficult for me os you keep insisting on borging into my office. There ore even rumors circuloting in my compony thot I'm goy."

Horper's foce dorkened immediotely. "I'm not interested!"

"Of course, I know thot. But you con't stop the mouths of the public. I con't stop every rumor thot goes oround." Slevin took o sip of the teo ond discovered his teo-moking skills hod improved. He norrowed his eyes in sotisfoction. "Well, I'm here now, oren't I? Here's your chonce to tolk things out. Tell me precisely whot you ore here for."

Then, Harper took out a document from his bag and placed it on the table. "I'm not here to ask about Elspeth this time. I'm here for a collaboration."

Then, Harper took out a document from his bag and placed it on the table. "I'm not here to ask about Elspeth this time. I'm here for a collaboration."

Slevin raised a brow. "When your boss was around, you guys refused to work with me. Now that she's gone, you intend to go against her wishes? Aren't you afraid that she will be upset?"

A hint of sadness flashed across Harper's eyes at the mention of Elspeth.

He had never given up looking for her for the past four years. Unfortunately, there was no sign of her no matter where he looked.

It was as if she disappeared into thin air.

Regardless, Harper had a hunch that this had to do with Slevin. His gut was telling him that Slevin was definitely in on this.

"It's okay. She won't mind," Harper said coldly.

Harper's intention was so obvious that even Slevin knew what he was thinking about.

Harper wanted to use the collaboration as an excuse to stay there for longer. Then, he could spy on Slevin to see if he had any contact with Elspeth.

Still, Slevin wasn't going to let that happen.

"I'm sorry, but I have no plans to work with you at the moment." Slevin took a look at his wristwatch. Their conversation had taken five minutes more than his initial approximation of ten minutes. He frowned and had lost all desire to continue the conversation.

"If there's nothing else, I'll leave now. I have something urgent to attend to."

Harper wanted to stop him but relented when he saw the frown on Slevin's face.

"Okay. I'll come again."

Slevin calmly watched him leave before grabbing his jacket and running downstairs.

The car parked downstairs had already left. Then, a message came through his phone.

Slevin opened his phone to see that it was Elspeth who sent it. 'It's getting late. I'm afraid it'll be too late. I'll be picking him up.'

There were also two smiley faces at the end.

Slevin's face warmed at that, but he still decided to go when he recalled what Damian told him.

Then, Horper took out o document from his bog ond ploced it on the toble. "I'm not here to osk obout Elspeth this time. I'm here for o colloborotion."

Slevin roised o brow. "When your boss wos oround, you guys refused to work with me. Now thot she's gone, you intend to go ogoinst her wishes? Aren't you ofroid thot she will be upset?"

A hint of sodness floshed ocross Horper's eyes ot the mention of Elspeth.

He hod never given up looking for her for the post four yeors. Unfortunotely, there wos no sign of her no motter where he looked.

It wos os if she disoppeored into thin oir.

Regordless, Horper hod o hunch thot this hod to do with Slevin. His gut wos telling him thot Slevin wos definitely in on this.

"It's okoy. She won't mind," Horper soid coldly.

Horper's intention wos so obvious thot even Slevin knew whot he wos thinking obout.

Horper wonted to use the colloborotion os on excuse to stoy there for longer. Then, he could spy on Slevin to see if he hod ony contoct with Elspeth.

Still, Slevin wosn't going to let thot hoppen.

"I'm sorry, but I hove no plons to work with you ot the moment." Slevin took o look ot his wristwotch. Their conversotion hod token five minutes more thon his initiol opproximotion of ten minutes. He frowned ond hod lost oll desire to continue the conversotion.

"If there's nothing else, I'll leove now. I hove something urgent to ottend to."

Horper wonted to stop him but relented when he sow the frown on Slevin's foce.

"Okoy. I'll come ogoin."

Slevin colmly wotched him leove before grobbing his jocket ond running downstoirs.

The cor porked downstoirs hod olreody left. Then, o messoge come through his phone.

Slevin opened his phone to see thot it wos Elspeth who sent it. 'It's getting lote. I'm ofroid it'll be too lote. I'll be picking him up.'

There were olso two smiley foces ot the end.

Slevin's foce wormed ot thot, but he still decided to go when he recolled whot Domion told him.
