Chapter 409


    Minnie''s face twisted into a look of distress. She took Walter''srge hand and gently swayed it back and forth. "Walter, please, just let me go..."


    Walter could tell she was dead set on leaving, but he still asked with a tone of finality. "Are you sure you want to go?"


    "Positive!" Minnie nodded eagerly like a chick pecking at the ground for food.


    "When will you be back?"


    Walter was asking Minnie, but he could not help ncing at his watch.


    "Two hours, tops. I can''t spare any more time."


    "I guess I''ll just have to deal with being apart from you for two hours." He said it with such resolve that Minnie knew there was no point in arguing. However, the thought of escaping Walter''s gaze for even a moment filled Minnie with joy. She figured two hours would be plenty.


    With a spring in her step and a smile on her face, Minnie hurried out of thepany.


    Little did she know, right after she left, David made up some excuse to duck out of the office and, with apanion in tow, stealthily followed her.


    Half an hourter, Walter, who was supposedly hard at work in his office, got a call from David.


    "Boss, Ms. Kast just walked into a beauty salon. Should we send someone to scope it out?"


    Walter''s eyes sparkled, and his smirk was a mystery wrapped in a riddle. "Mr. Zimmer, I never told you to shadow Minnie. You''re going rogue, tracking her and updating me on her moves. Aren''t you scared I''ll boot you out of here just like that?"


    David''s paycheck was one of the fattest in all of Avalon City. However, Walter tossed around the idea of firing him like it was nothing.


    Even so, David did not even flinch. "Fire away, I could use a break. Hey, how about this? Once we wrap this up, you give me a whole month off to kick back and really chill?" He bargained with his boss as if getting canned was no big deal, aiming for a month-long vacation.


    "You''re quite the daredevil," mused Walter, his voice a weird mix of possibly impressed or maybe just mocking.


    He quickly added, "A month off? Dream on. You get one day, tops.


    "I need the salon''s info, immediately. And get some sharp folks on it to watch the ce like hawks. We''re going ghost mode on this, got it?"


    "Crystal clear!" As the call ended, David, who had been under a dark cloud for days, finally saw a break in the weather.


    He had been Walter''s right-hand man for nearly a decade, ever since Walter took the reins of Gordon Group. Walter, the ultimate workhorse, had David by his side for the wild ride because of the job''s
