Chapter 259

Chapter 259 Wisest Thing to Do Alex received a call from Reuben late at night, informing him about Evan’s decision. After the call..

he headed to the bar and spotted Paige in the VIP booth.

As he approached, Paige wasted no time in berating him. “Pug, what’s wrong with you?”

Alex smiled, removed his jacket, and quipped, “Are you mad because I kept you waiting for 30 minutes?”

Paige glared at him. “I can’t stand people who aren’t on time!”

“Alright, calm down. I’ll buy you drinks tonight, okay?” Alex cffered.

“Sure!” Paige’s mood shifted, and she giggled, accepting the offer.

Alex steered the conversation back to business. “Let’s get back to the point. What do you need from me?”

Pouring a drink, Paige said, “I assume you’ve heard about the incident at Carol’s factory Something doesn’t add up. Excluding Kenny-”

“Hold on! What do you mean, excluding Kenny“?” Alex interrupted.

Paige blinked innocently. “Kenny’s out of the country, and lie owes Carol a favor, so he wouldn’t do anything to harm her.”

Alex scoffed. “You trust people too easily. Go on.

Paige continued. “Here’s my theory. There’s a mole at Carol’s company working for Daniella. Carol’s company faces trouble shortly after Daniella starts hers. It’s the perfect opportunity for Daniella to expand.

“I believe it’s highly likely that Carol’s secretary is the mole. She acted to save Carol’s life to gain her trust and stayed at the factory when Kenny was away. That gave her ample opportunity.”

“You must watch a lot of detective series,” Alex remarked, “Why do you say that?” Paige asked, setting her glass down firmly.

“Carol’s company was running smoothly while Kenny was there, Naomi was sent to the factory in Kenny’s absence, and trouble followed soon after. Surveillance footage showed no suspicious activity except for the deputy factory manager and Naomi entering the warehouse daily. Regular workers had to sign in, so that leaves Naomi as the prime suspect,” Paige concluded.

Alex chuckled. “But if that’s the case, why would she leave behind evidence that made you suspicious?

Plus, she couldn’t have known she’d be put in charge of the factory.”

Paige rolled her eyes. “Even if she didn’t target the factory, she could have chosen another location!”

“That would be the wisest thing for her to do then!”

Paige insisted. “If it were me, I’d first gain Carol’s trust by saving her life before executing my plan.

“Saving Carol was an accident,” Alex reminded her.

“No. Even if she didn’t save Carol, she’d find another way to earn her trust,” Paige countered.

“If you were injured, would you keep going to work every day?” Alex questioned “No. That’s it! Naomi received extra compensation from Carol, in addition to paid medical leave. Why would she complicate things for herself? It’s her way of earning Carol’s trust.”

“Ah, so what do you need my help analyzing?” Alex inquired.

Paige blinked in surprise. “You’re right. Why would I need your help when I’ve figured it all out?”

Alex teased, “Well, you’re pretty skilled at analyzing. Can I assume you just wanted to see me?”

Paige was irritated, “Do I treat you respectfully?”

“Who else do you plan on treating with respect? Alex quipped Paige grunted. Tll treat whoever I choose with respect.”
