章 60: Quite Place

"What did they say,?" Alice hurriedly spoke after seeing me leave the office. She had been waiting here from the beginning.

Her eyes were filled with worry as she looked at me, her anxiety clearly visible on her face. I could sense that she was eager to know the outcome of the meeting.

"Well, it was quite the discussion," I started, pausing for a moment to build the suspense. "But in the end, I managed to smooth things over."

"Don't we need to go to the police? !" she insisted.

"We can do that, but the hassle is not worth it. Do you really want to attend those hearings and all? The impact of blowing this up will affect everyone," I explained to her, weighing the pros and cons. Of course, the only reason I'm saying this is because I don't want the police to get involved.
