Chapter 139
There was a long silence before I added, "The Roberts Group''s auditing is important for these two
Group, neither of them can escape from the me."
"Director, I-" Kelsey wanted to say something.
Without giving her a chance to speak, I continued, "Take the documents back with you and
doublecheck it. Make sure that there is no problem before you send it back to Hendrix''s office for his
review. Also, tell Alford Audit that if they wish to partner up with us, it needs to be a long term
partnership. Of course, if this problem only involves you and Alford Audit, it will be much easier. Please
deal with it on your own. Don''t let it escte to the point where the executives from both sides will have
to sit down and discuss this together."
After making my point clear, I let her go. I wasn''t a fool. Auditing was something that I was new to, but
Hendrix saw that there was something wrong.
He didn''t put the me on me, but instead, he looked for Austin. That indicated that the matter was
likely rted to Austin. Deceptions, frame-ups, cheating, and such were ordinary in the workce.
Besides, Austin had always disliked me. It wouldn''t be difficult for him to try to kick me out of the
Kelsey was my subordinate, so she would be handling most of my stuff. If she acted selfishly, it''d be
just a matter of time before I was forced to leave thepany.
I knew Kelsey well. She wouldn''t be convinced by anything else unless she was involved emotionally.
Getting to know Calvin that day was both an ident and a coincidence. I just had to connect the dots
and figure out the big picture after putting Kelsey to the test.
Since I didn''t have any more work nned for the day, and in addition to me feeling low- spirited, I
decided to just pack my stuff and head home.
However, before I managed to step out of the office, Sawyer was already standing by the door in his
suit. He looked at me with his arms folded, then he said, "Let''s have dinner together."
I frowned, "I''m not in the mood."
"Then I''ll treat you to a grand meal. How about hotpot?" He asked, walking in to take my car keys away,
and continued, "People will notice if we leave in my car. Let''s drive yours instead."
I rolled my eyes and asked, "Where are we going?"
He smiled brightly and said, "Just follow me."
I didn''t want to go in the first ce, but as I thought of Hendrix and Andrea, my heart was heavy with
emotions. So I decided to just head out and eat something.
I didn''t expect Sawyer to bring me to such an unremarkable spot for dinner. He drove the car into a
deep alley in the downtown area, which the surroundings looked out of time.
The walls were dark and grey in color, but there were little flowers at the creaks of the walls, and they
looked umonly beautiful in the light of the setting sun.
After driving for a little while, he stopped the car and looked at me, "The alley ahead is too narrow for
the car. Let''s get out and walk through the alley."
After getting out of the car, I noticed that the alley was really like what Sawyer had said. It was too
narrow and seemed like it could only fit two people. Apanied by the sunset, the flowers on the

grey wall looked extra bright and colorful.
"How did you find out about this ce? It seems very secluded." I asked curiously. I had been staying
in Ucrebury for so many years, yet I had never been there.
That alley seemed to be there for a long time.
His hands were in his pocket as he exined in a rxed tone, "I came upon this ce a few years
ago. This alley was built in the 1920s. Ucrebury was originally home to the farmers of the southern
region. Most of the buildings at that time were built with tiles. An alley this secluded was a rare sight in
the south."
I nodded. That alley did seem like something you would find in the north.
He nced at me faintly and said, "This alley was built by a general of that time for his wife. It is 1,314
meters long and 520 centimeters wide. Couples tend toe to this alley for a date."
