179 Scheme

On a quiet, unlit street, a blue car pulled up in front of a dark alley. The driver leaned her head out of the window as she saw a man carrying a bespectacled woman who appeared unconscious. She quickly got out of the car and opened the back door.

"Sheila, let's go to the debate venue." Klaus placed Alexa in the back passenger seat.

Seeing the CEO unconscious and in pain, Sheila furrowed her brows in curiosity. "Boss, what happened?"

"It's nothing. She's alright. Just a minor issue."

His response only fueled her curiosity further. Observing their condition, Sheila knew they were involved in some kind of trouble. She wanted to ask why, but if her boss had spoken, she could only nod and carry out the given task.

The car left the dark area. During the drive, Sheila discreetly glanced at Klaus, seeing him through the rearview mirror's reflection. He was staring out the window without saying a word. However, his face revealed a trace of worry.
