What Can I Do To Save Him
He lowered his head to look at the phone. Mr. Kyle should understand the difficult position Sally has put
me in, shouldn’t he?
After giving it some thought, the manager decided to check with Kyle on their next move. “I need to go
to the washroom.”
“Your wife’s and son’s lives are at stake. Think carefully before you attempt to run away,” Sally warned.
He responded, “I’ll not run away. I just need to use the toilet.”
Upon arriving at the washroom, the manager immediately asked Kyle, “You heard what she said, Mr.
Kyle? She’s threatening me with my wife and my kid. What should I do?”
“Tell her what she wants to know!” Kyle answered.
“Are you sure? Ms. Sally must have an ulterior motive. Had I given her the information she wanted, I’m
afraid I might put the company in jeopardy,” the manager raised his concern.
“How about this. If she asks for data that are not important, give her the real ones. But if she wants to
know about certain important data, come up with some fake ones, and make sure they’re convincing,”
Kyle said.
He continued, “You can give her a copy of Seet Group’s business partnership, but leave out all the
important details. Tell her you can only give it to her tomorrow. Got it?”
“Yes, Mr. Kyle.”
“Okay.”
After returning to the private room, the manager negotiated with Sally, but she refused to give in.
He put on a defeated look and acted as if he was ready to betray the company to protect his family.
The manager then gave Sally some data, as per Kyle’s instructions.
Sally noted them down and looked at the manager. “You’re not giving me fake data, aren’t you?”
“Of course, they’re real. My wife and son are in your hands. Why would I risk their safety by giving you
fake data? If you don’t believe me, you can verify them after this,” he said.
Upon seeing the sincere look on his face, Sally chose to believe him.
“How about the documents on Seet Group’s business partnership? Why can’t you pass it to me today?”
Sally asked.
“All the documents are in office, and I can’t remember the details off-hand. It’s better for me to hand
them over to you tomorrow,” the manager explained.
This man seems to know what he’s doing. I bet that’s how he managed to excel in Seet Group for six
years. We should retain him in Seet Group once the Maupay family takes over the company.
“All right. I trust you, and you must not tell anyone about what happened tonight. Once I’ve gotten what
I want tomorrow, I’ll release your wife and your kid. And don’t you dare report everything to Kyle
tomorrow. He’ll not believe you!” Sally warned.
She continued, “Don’t forget, you’ve leaked the company’s confidential information. Even if Kyle
chooses to believe you, he’ll definitely not keep you in the company anymore. He might even take legal
actions against you. I hope you’re aware of the consequences.”
The manager let out of sigh. In fact, he was relieved that Kyle knew all about this and was there to
listen to their conversation. He could not imagine what might happen had he not informed Kyle in
advance.
Most probably, he would not believe a word I said since Ms. Sally is his fiancée. It’s so hard to read a
woman’s mind!
“Don’t worry. This is between you and me. Can I go home now?” the manager asked.
“I’ll not only release your wife and your kid tomorrow, but I’ll also give you an amount of money as a
token of appreciation. You may go now,” Sally said.
The manager kept mum and left the private room.
Sally sat alone in the room and looked at the red wine. She poured herself some wine and gently
swirled the glass.
The translucent red wine in the glass glistened under the chandelier in the room.
Once I get my hands on Seet Group’s confidential documents tomorrow, I’ll be able to exchange them
with the other half of the antidote for Dad. At least I’ve done my part now.
As for the grievances between the Maupay family and Seet Group…
I don’t want Kyle to die. What can I do to save him?
But what’s the point of keeping him alive? We would still become blood enemies when all the other
Seets are dead.
