By now they had searched through more than half of the Capital but there wasn ta single trace of the worker
Suddenly a thought struck Halsey I ve got it
Do you know where he is one of her aides asked eagerly
With a burst of excitement Halsey said We need to hurry to this one place I m pretty sure he s hiding there
“Gotit.Let’sgonow.”
Halsey had been sitting down to catch her breath but now she sprang to her feet anxiety making her restless
Just as she turned to leave she twisted her ankle badly and stumbled falling forward
“Ah!”shecried,bracingforahardimpactwiththe ground.
But the pain she expected never came Instead a strongarm wrapped around her waist steadying her and pulling her gently into a warm broad embrace
Looking up Halsey found Shaun s handsome face partially hidden behind a mask
Shaunwashere.
He had just stepped out of his car when he saw her faltering and caught her just in time
Halsey hadn t expected him to show up For a moment her mind went blank before she quickly pushed herself upright What are you doing here
Shaun s eyes held her s steadily Did you come to the company looking forme today
She forced a small smile Yeah
“Why?”
I had to talk to you about something but not anymore I m busy so please excuse me
She started to pull away
Shaun s gaze hardened as he reached out and grabbed her slender arm firmly Where are you going
Halsey tried to yank her arm free It s none of your business Please let go I have things to take care of

As light smile tugged at her lips She only said the truth
