Later that morning at Van Empire, Jacob stepped out of his car.
His dull yellow eyes scanned the surroundings, only to find people throwing discreet side glances his way before disappearing into corners to whisper amongst themselves about the news that had broken out the previous night.
He had purposely arrived at the office earlier today so he could release yet another misleading statement to the horde of reporters he had expected to find waiting outside the building.
But to his surprise, and great disappointment, there were absolutely none.
A faint crease appeared between his brows as suspicion crept into his mind.
Had he simply arrived too early? Or was there another reason behind their strange absence?
Because there was no way news of this magnitude would not have the media swarming around both his apartment building and the company like vultures hungry for blood.
Yet this morning, the atmosphere felt eerily quiet.
