That night, Nora returned to her desk, her mind was racing with Ryan's words.
If what he said was true, then Henry's private office might hold the key to everything she had been looking for.
She looked at the folder on her desk, her resolve was really hardening.

The shadow stopped, waiting just outside the door. She could feel her heart pounding heavily in her chest as she stood up slowly.
The door opened, and Henry stepped inside, his expression was dark.
"Working late, Miss Hayes?" he asked, his tone was calm but full of deceit.
"I... yes," Nora stammered, quickly sitting back down.
