Six months later…

“You’re still at it?”

I lifted my head when I heard Atlas‘ voice coming from the door. My eyes were so fixated on my laptop that I didn’t notice him coming in. I was too busy reading the latest report regarding Blaire’s whereabouts.

Almost everyone has given up on her, but not me. I will never stop looking for her. As long as there’s no definite proof that she’s dead, I will do everything to find her.

I looked at Atlas with dead eyes before I turned my eyes back towards the screen of my laptop.

“You’re not going to stop, are you?” he asked once again when I deliberately ignored him.

“You know I won’t. Why bother asking?” I answered.

“You’ve been spending thousands and thousands of dollars, and you only get the same information over and over again. Have you even considered the fact that if Blaire were alive, she would have come back already?” Atlas continued.

I lifted my eyes and glared at him with a threatening look. “What are you mumbling about? Your company is the one that’s earning a lot of money from this. I’ve been paying you generously to search for Blaire, not to give me unsolicited advice.”

He chuckled. “I was about to build a new office in Asia because of the money you paid me.”

“And yet you gave me nothing,” I remarked sarcastically.

“Give me some slacks, okay?” he complained.

I shot him a death glare before refocusing on my laptop screen. Minutes passed in tense silence until he cautiously approached my desk, dropping a folder of documents onto it.

Raising an eyebrow, I glanced up at him, my expression questioning. My gaze lingered on the folder for a
