She shook her head, sniffling. “I know the boss. He can turn into someone’s nightmare if someone crosses his path. He doesn’t see why they did it or how valid their reasons were. But he did it for me even after I tried to defame his family. And I know it’s because of you.” A soft smile tugged at her lips. “Boss can do anything for his Rosebud.”

I tried my best not to blush and concentrate on the current situation.

“I understood why you did it, Liza. I know you. You’re an honest and kind girl. Seeing you doing what you did was extremely disappointing and shocking. But we couldn’t just leave your family in danger for your deed. After all, you had worked in that company for years with loyalty.”

She looked down, biting her lip. “I don’t deserve your kindness, Em. But… thank you. Thank you so much.”

“We can’t change what you did, but you can help me with something.” I kept my face neutral.

“How can I help you with anything while staying in here?”

“You can. You can tell me who threatened you to frame Caleb.”

Her eyes widened as her shoulders tensed. Leaning in, I grabbed both of her hands in mine.

“Look, Liza. I know you’re scared that if you tell us their name, your family will be in danger. But trust me, they’re safe. We have people there for their safety. You don’t need to worry about it anymore. So, you can tell me the person’s name so I can find out who they are and expose them.”

She snatched her hands from mine, shaking her head. “I’ve told the cops a thousand times I can’t spill the name, no matter how much they torture me. And I’ll tell you the same, Em. I’m sorry. I can’t tell you anything. Even though my family is safe now. You don’t know him. He’s dangerous. Those guards can’t keep an eye on my family all the time.”

He’s dangerous.

The same thing Sierra said.

“You know Sierra resigned?”

Her brows furrowed. “Resigned? Why?”

They were quite close. So maybe learning about her situation, she would say something?

I nodded. “Even after her financial crisis, she had to leave her job. And guess what, a certain someone threatened her with something too. When she denied them, she had to leave the office.”

She froze in her place. “Y-you know?”

“I have a guess. I tried to talk to her, but she said the same thing you told me. That he’s dangerous. And guess what I heard him say on the phone about some girl?” I tilted my head. “If she crosses her limits, she’ll lose her life just like her job.”

Horror etched on her features as she stared at me with wide eyes.
