Frey felt a chilling numbness spread through her as she hurried toward Technologent Group. The urgency of her steps was the only thing reminding her she was alive and breathing. Fortunately, Technologent Group was close to her company, and in about twenty minutes, she burst through its doors.

Her sudden arrival caused a stir among the employees. They were eager for any gossip about Frey's reappearance and intrigued by the tension that had been palpable in Nathaniel's absence. Frey took the elevator to the twenty-eighth floor, moving faster with each step until she flung open the door to the president's office.

Nathaniel was alone, leaning back in his chair, lost in thought.

Without a word, Frey stormed in and slapped Nathaniel hard across the face. The force of the slap turned his face to the side.

"Mr. Nathaniel!" Koen, who had accompanied Frey, rushed in behind her, his hand hovering near the gun holster at his waist.

"Get out!" Nathaniel's voice was icy, carrying an authoritative command.

Koen hesitated at the door, unwilling to move.
