"It's bad! She is coming this way!"Seeing Nina heading in their direction, James and Felix quickly moved towards the back of the kitchen."What's going on?" Felix asked. "Why is she coming this way? Did we get caught?""Impossible!" James quickly denied. "We were trained soldiers. There's no way she'd notice us.""Then why is she coming?"Both men crouched as they moved."Let's hide for now."They concealed themselves in a hidden corner."Don't let her spot us. We'll move when she leaves."Nina inspected the fire alarm system.It had a hole punched through it."Looks like it was smashed," she noted.The owner quickly explained, "A server might have accidentally bumped into it, triggering the alarm.""Your servers have that much strength?" Nina asked skeptically. "This hasn't happened before, has it?""This is the first time," the owner admitted, struggling to come up with an excuse.Nina observed the large hole, drawing her own conclusions. "Seems like your server has s

On the second floor, she noticed a door that was slightly ajar. Nash must be inside. Nina rolled up her sleeves and pushed open the door with her cold and determined expression."Nash, stop being a coward. Can't you just be straightforward...?"Standing in the doorway, her eyes locked onto Nash sprawled on the floor. He looked utterly defeated, surrounded by empty bottles, still clutching one with some liquor left. It seemed he had been drinking all day.Nina had been furious, ready to confront him. She had planned to say the most hurtful things, aiming to crush his pride and make him feel worthless. But things did not go as she had imagined. Seeing Nash drunk and disheveled, any cruel words she had prepared now seemed pointless. He would not hear them anyway.However, she could not understand why Nash had drunk himself into such a state.Wasn't he supposed to be happy with Miranda? Hadn't he rid himself of her? He had humiliated her, boosting his own ego. He should be

Scott returned home and began searching through all his documents, trying to learn about the organization called Nile. He wondered how he could get in touch with them and whether he had even a slim chance of obtaining the antidote.He spent the whole night searching. The organization was very secretive and operated in border countries to avoid sanctions. Some of the people who had been captured over the years spoke different languages and did not appear to be from the same ethnic group.At this moment, the door opened, and Scott's mother walked in. "Scott, what are you doing? Why is everything so messy?""I'm searching for information.""What kind of information is worth losing sleep over? You haven't slept, have you?" Scott's mother, who looked like a gentle and kind housewife, spoke softly. "You've been so busy with work these days, and now you don't rest. How can your body take it? Besides, Yasmine will be here soon. You need to be ready to spend time with her. Stop what you'r

Nash rubbed his forehead. The pain was preventing him from focusing on their words. He could not remember what he had done last night. It felt too much like a dream. If Nina had come, at least he would have seen her. He could not continue to appear so disheveled."You two, leave," Nash said hoarsely, dismissing them."Yes!" They both promptly left.But within ten minutes, James reported from the doorway, "Captain, Miss Miranda is here!"Nash quickly washed up and changed his clothes. He felt a slight discomfort at the news but concealed it. "Have her wait downstairs," he said coldly.Miranda was in a good mood. She had secured the starring role in the most anticipated TV series adaptation, a major breakthrough for her career.If the drama became a hit, she would firmly establish herself in the entertainment industry. She came specifically to share this good news with Nash.After waiting for about twenty minutes, Miranda saw Nash coming down. She immediately greeted him, "Nas

"We have a big crew and fight scenes with actors flying around. It's really hard to control, sorry!" Despite the apology, the actor continued flying around."You've already encroached on our set!" Angel said angrily. "We're filming a modern drama here. Is it reasonable for you to be flying around? Doesn't your cameraman worry about continuity errors?""We're just at the edge, we haven't crossed into your area. Have you thought about why you got hit? Maybe you intruded into our space!" the flying actor retorted."You!" Angel put her hands on her hips, knowing from their tone it was intentional. "You’re obviously twisting the truth!"The flying actor sneered disdainfully and muttered, "What a crappy drama you're filming. Your investment isn't even a fraction of ours, yet you're making a scene. Do you think this film studio belongs to your family?""You..." Angel was furious.Nelly stopped Angel and warned the other actor, "We may not have as much investment or popularity as you, bu
