It’s just for work, Don’t overthink it. Maybe… I’ll return in a few months.”
Hannah soothed Grace’s worries.
“Don’t stress. I’m quite familiar with Newfort. I’ll tell you once I’m there.”
Grace’s face lit up with a smile.
“Okay!”
After convincing Grace to hit the sack, Hannah retreated to her room and turned the key in the lock.
Despite the current chill in the air with Bryson, she expected, as always, to get a message from him once he landed in Newfort.
But the silence had stretched on for days…
Hannah glanced at her phone, where Bryson’s last message was still displayed.
She swiped her finger across the screen, rereading the words from days ago.
Pondering for a bit, she decided to call Yosef.
“Hello, Miss Moore,” Yosef answered promptly.
“Yosef, are you with Bryson?” Hannah asked directly.

There was a brief pause on the other end, and then Yosef replied, “Sorry, my boss can’t come to the phone right now.”
Hannah’s eyes narrowed. Something felt off.
“You didn’t go overseas with Bryson?” she pressed.
The silence on Yosef’s end confirmed her suspicion.
“You didn’t travel with Bryson? Who’s with him, then?” she persisted.
Caught off guard by her questions, Yosef hesitated.
But Hannah’s voice cut through his thoughts.
“It’s okay, you don’t have to cover for him. I just need to know who he’s with.”
Yosef knew he had to be honest.
“Miss Moore, my boss went abroad with Caleb. He left me in charge here. That’s the truth… I haven’t heard from him in days either,” he confessed.
Hannah believed him. His story was too detailed to be a lie.
