Bab 423: Tracking Her

Anya's eyes went to Alvin who sat there like a grim reaper from hell right after guessing the purpose behind the call. She answered the call and heard Paxton's hush voice. [Anya, could you assist me?]

Generally, they wouldn't ask if she could assist them. Since she was on leave and recently married, Paxton asked directly so that he could make different arrangements if she was busy or unavailable.

Anya knew Alvin would be worried. However, her colleagues wouldn't ask for assistance if there isn't a drastic change in their situation. 

She breathed softly and put forward her time constraint, "I need an hour." She has to cuddle her son and husband to sleep.

[Roger.] Then the call ended.

Alvin had accepted her job but he didn't expect it would be tougher to let her go as soon as he perceived that she had some task.
