Chapter 93


    Sawyer looked at the time and shook his head. "It''s alright, I''ll just rest here for a while." After a pause,


    he said, "There are some financial problems in the branchpany that can''t be detected without


    some closer scrutiny. I''m guessing that one of the directors must''ve embezzled funds and covered it up


    with some projects. Look at this, it’s a few million dors worth of expenses!”


    I nodded and began to look through the ounts. In the past, Asherton''s branch had developed so


    smoothly that Hendrix had granted many rights and privileges to the executives of thispany,


    considering that the management style of the branchpany was also intended to mirror that of the


    mainpany.


    Hendrix didn''t get involved much on this side of the business at all. I looked at it carefully and found


    that there was indeed something fishy happening. For some reason, one of the minor engineering


    projects had exhausted a few million dors worth of capital. Even if it was topensate for a


    worker''s injuries, it still wouldn''t justify the amount. It was obvious that someone had embezzled the


    funds.


    "This matter might have to be handled through Hogan!" I said to Sawyer, only to find that he''d fallen


    asleep.


    I then got up and covered him with a quilt from the bedroom.


    There were still two hours left for him to rest properly. After all, he hadn''t had much rest since


    yesterday.


    After organizing the documents, my cell phone vibrated and I saw that Monique had called.


    I picked up the call. It was noisy on the other side, but I could still faintly hear her voice through the


    chaos. "Arianna, you''re in Asherton now, right? Send me your location and I''ll drop by to visit you


    soon!"


    I was stunned. "Are you also in Asherton?"


    She had previously mentioned that she wanted to tour around Hawaii. Why was she now in Asherton?


    "I saw your post on Facebook and knew you were in Asherton, so I decided toe over. I just got off


    the ne, just send me your address and I''ll be there in no time."


    After I hung up, I sent Monique a few messages over Whatsapp and saw that I had several other


    unread messages as well. Few of those were updates sent by Kelsey, whereas there were also some


    that were from Josiah.


    I almost forgot that Josiah had mentioned he was alsoing to Asherton too. I thought about it and


    gave him a call.


    This text is ? N?velDrama/.Org.


    The phone rang a few times before he finally picked up. Josiah always had that deep, pleasant voice to


    him. "Which hotel are you staying in?"


    "Have you also arrived in Asherton?" I asked, feeling that it was such a coincidence.


    "I just arrived and was just about to give you a phone call as well. Now, which hotel are you staying


    in?" His voice was soft amid the unorganized background noises.


    I raised my voice and said, "Welldom Hotel. It''s on Southria Road.”


    "Alright, see youter!”


    After hanging up the phone, I got up and got ready to take a bath. After all, after my business dinner,


    Monique would surely drag me to go shopping with her.


    I had not gone shopping for a long time so it would be nice to take a walk for once.


    I was going to bathe in another room, but I couldn''t find the ess card to the room after searching for


    a while. On the other hand, Sawyer was deep asleep. I didn''t want to wake him up and decided to just


    take a bath in the same room.


    After all, there was still a door between both of us and he was sound asleep. It didn''t matter much.


    I must have eaten too much before sleeping. I could only feel a sense of greasiness all over my body.


    Fortunately, the shower made me feel so much better now.


    I blew my hair dry in the bathroom, put on some light makeup, and changed into some nice clothes.


    After that, I came up only to hear Sawyer speaking to another person over the phone.


    He was still groggy and said, "Hello, who''re you looking for?"


    I didn''t know what the other side said, but Sawyer replied in a hoarse voice, "She''s bathing now so


    please call backter!"


    He then hung up the phone.


    I went out of the bathroom and saw him leaning on the sofa. He still wasn''t fully awake yet. It was


    evident that he didn''t sleep enoughst night.


    When Sawyer saw me, he yawned and said, "Why are you dressing up so nicely? It''s just dinner."
