Carolyn listened to the busy signal tone sound from the phone, and she remained in that position for a moment before reacting. Soon after, she dropped the phone back down like a heavy weight.
The resounding voice reverberated in her luxuriously decorated office, Carolyn could not help but start to rejoice that it was already much too in the evening and her several secretaries, who had put almost all of their efforts into shooting their mouths off had already gone back home.
And she still has to stay in the quiet grave-live DW office building, no appointments, no entertainment— just no lack of a limitless amount of work and bad news.
Oh, that's right, she still has to pay attention to Rand, collate the news on Rand, and then give it to Vincent in hopes that Vincent will give herself a bit of a break while he is in a good mood.
Recalling this bit into her mind, that kind of bitterness like absinthe once again spread all over the tip of her tongue.
She let out a deep sigh and lowered her head to begin looking at her notebook.
Nothing unusual...
She tried to remember what she had heard before, but she soon realized that it was for naught. The minute before Rogers called, she was still contacting the secret forces who were in charge of going to the Arctic Pole Secret Laboratory for rescue and clean up.
She got the bad news and then the even worse news— to begin with, almost all of the researchers in the entire laboratory were dead... except for a young man named Simon and a CIA investigator. Simon aside, the investigator's survival nearly caused Carolyn's menopause to arrive earlier.
She even felt that this was God's punishment for her.
Damn it, so many people died throughout the entire base, so many... but of all people, one CIA agent lived? Even more wretched, he also experienced the whole incident first-person.
Even after receiving this news, Carolyn's first reaction was to have some people use some very unconventional methods to have that CIA agent entered into the list of the deceased in a reasonable manner, but it wasn't that this was the only way she could think of. The Pentagon people collected him first thing. Carolyn tried several times, but she had no choice but to admit that the easiest and the neatly laid out path had already been blocked.
If there wasn't the existence of that even worse news that followed, Carolyn would have nearly thought that nothing worse than this situation now could happen in this world.
But then she went on to receive the other news...
"Oh my God, ah..."
She collapsed onto the chair like a heavy weight and a feeling of powerlessness seemed to wrap around her like a vine.
Just as she thought, Vincent picked the everyday life record up without the slightest bit of hesitation.
He looked at those dry and dull notes, his facial expression could only be considered fanatical, only his pale cheeks would show a splash of color at this time, his scarlet red eyes flashes in an altering radiance.
Someone like Carolyn, all she could do was stand aside and look at Vincent.
The intense sourness and vague elation stirred into a cocktail deep within her heart.
Hey, you see, Vincent is just like this. The person he cares about is always and only Rand.
A penetrating voice let out a mocking taunt deep in Carolyn's heart.
He will never notice you again, never!
Carolyn wore a gentle smile on her face. Listening to those voices deep in her heart, the expression on her face was gentle and natural, although the palms of her hand had already been marked with white crescents due to her overly tightened fists.
