"Mr. Clemens!" the board members greeted respectfully.


    The nearby staff all bowing their heads.


    Micah nodded in return and sat on the ck chair.


    Chloe briskly led Sadie away.


    As Sadie stepped out of the meeting room, she heard Micah''s voice. "Everyone; I''m pleased to inform you that I have located the whereabouts of the chip. You can rest assured; we''ll have it back before dawn!" "That''s wonderful!" the board members apuded and cheered.


    Sadie''s scalp tingled with dread. Micah''s men must have found the children again. This time, their identities would surely be exposed...


    What should she do?


    "Sadie, what are you doing?" Chloe asked before scolding her sternly; "You''re always so absent-minded at work. You won''tst a day in the president''s office if you continue in this manner!"


    "I''m sorry, I..."


    "Go wash your face in the restroom, pull yourself together, and meet me in the training room."


    "Yes, thank you." Sadie rushed off to the restroom. Seeing that there was no one inside, she used the opportunity to call Brenda. "Brenda? How''s everything at home?"


    "Huh? What do you mean how''s everything?" Brenda was very confused. "I''m making chicken soup, and I''ll bake cookies for youter..."


    "No, I mean..." Sadie was about to borate, but decided against it. Since Brenda was still in the mood to make desserts, it meant that there were no problems at home.


    So she left it at that. "That''s good, I''ll leave you to it then."


    "Ok." Brenda was in the middle of cooking and wasn''t really paying attention to Sadie''s odd behavior.


    Sadie assumed that since everything was fine with Brenda, and the kindergarten teacher hadn''t called, it could only mean that Micah''s men hadn''t found the children yet. Perhaps they were still on their way or preparing for action... In any case, they hadn''te knocking on the door yet, so she still had time!


    Sadie touched her chest. The small ck box containing the chip was with her...


    Taking advantage of everyone being busy in a meeting in the conference room, and hardly any people being around, she knew that she had to return the chip as soon as possible.


    With this in mind, Sadie came out of the restroom and snuck towards the president''s office.


    Although she encountered two colleagues on duty who only nced at her and didn''t say much, the rest of the path was clear.


    As Sadie arrived at the president''s office and reached out to push the door, the electronic door lock responded to the infrared sensor, and the screen disyed a prompt to input fingerprints. Sadie cursed herself inwardly. How foolish could she be to think she could just enter the president''s office whenever she wanted!


    "Please enter the password!" The electronic door lock had a voice prompt.


    "Password?" Sadie hurriedly punched in Micah''s phone number hoping desperately that her guess was correct.


    "Password incorrect!"


    The voice prompt astonished Sadie, and she thought, "Oh no. Could it be his birthday?"


    Without a moment''s notice, the door lock suddenly sounded an rm.


    Startled, Sadie hurriedly tried to run away, but she was blocked by the bodyguards after only a few steps. Her heart was pounding heavily in her chest, as sweat formed on her face. She smiled awkwardly, trying to cover up her guilt, "I, I was just passing by and identally bumped into the electronic lock. Can you believe that?"


    The two bodyguards shook their heads expressionlessly.


    "I, I really am..."


    Before Sadie continue, the bodyguards stepped aside, bowing respectfully, "Miss Roth, please!"


    Sadie froze. Did she mishear them? Not only did these two bodyguards not apprehend her, but they were showing her such respect?


    "What''s going on?" a familiar voice sounded, it was Andrew.


    "Miss Roth, Mr. Clemens is in a meeting." Andrew nced around to make sure no one was listening before lowering his voice, "Are you looking for him? Tonight would be best then!"
