Chapter: 233
Reluctant to ask again, Alicia decided to procure some self-defense items instead.
At Blizzard Group's headquarters, Caden was sitting through a meeting.
Within the first hour, Hank noticed Caden glancing at his phone repeatedly.
After a presentation, Hank leaned over and quietly asked, "Mr. Ward, have you missed something urgent?"
Caden, maintaining a steady demeanor, replied simply, "No."
His mind was on waiting for a message from Alicia, though it wasn't an urgent matter.
The visit to the Gray family was scheduled for the next day, and Caden felt certain Alicia would attend. He wondered why he hadn't heard from her recently.
Was she no longer worried?
As the meeting drew to a close, Caden had yet to hear from Alicia.
He got up to leave.
Hank, keeping pace, inquired, "Do you have plans tonight, Mr. Ward?"
“Why do you ask?" Caden responded.
Hank suggested, “There's a social event tonight that might interest you."
Caden nodded in acknowledgment, then paused briefly, recalling past events.
"Didn't Randolph extend several invitations to me after the last banquet?" he queried, pondering the connection.
Hank confirmed, "Yes, you've declined those invitations before."
"Let him know I'll visit his place tomorrow," Caden declared.
Hank was surprised. “Randolph? Really, Mr. Ward? Considering his status?"
After a pause, Caden remarked, "You think it's quite a sacrifice too, right?"
“Absolutely. Visiting his home would be seen as a great honor for him."
“Then get Alicia to come over as well," Caden suggested.
Hank was taken aback once more. "Why bring Ms. Bennett into this?" he queried.
What did Alicia have to do with this?
Caden didn't respond and walked into his office.
"I need to see her in half an hour," he stated.
Hank immediately felt the urgency. "Half an hour? What if Ms. Bennett is busy? She's not easy to invite—"
"Make it twenty minutes," Caden cut him off.
Hank was left speechless.
Understanding the seriousness, he wasted no time and called Alicia directly.
Luckily, she was available.
