"I'll visit them personally after work," Walter said. "Thank you, Mr. Chance." He thanked him profusely.
"It's just a simple gesture," Jared said with a smile. "I'm also troubling you by asking you to find the spiritual brush for me."
"Since you're helping each other, you don't need to stand on ceremony," William interrupted. "The food is getting cold." Otherwise, they would have continued exchanging pleasantries.
After eating, Josephine sent Jared back to the office. "Jared, I'll pick you up tonight and come along," she said excitedly. "I've never witnessed a ghost possessing someone before!"
"Aren't you afraid?" Jared asked teasingly, noting her excitement.
"What's to fear? You'll be there, right? I know people with your medical skills can handle ghosts. Some children cry, but they're better after a spell or twoโno injections or medicine needed," Josephine said dismissively. Jared smiled but remained silent. He suspected Josephine might be terrified when she actually saw the ghost. After Jared left the car, Josephine drove away.
Meanwhile, Hilda waited by the window, hoping to see the woman with Jared. She only caught a glimpse of him smiling as he got out of the car. When Jared returned to the sales department, he noticed Hilda's sullen mood.
"What's wrong, Hilda?" he asked.
"Nothing," she replied, forcing a smile and leaving without looking at him. Jared didn't dwell on it and resumed work.
That afternoon, a document arrived from Sullivan Group headquarters, placed on Xavier's desk. His expression turned grim and menacing as he read it. The document detailed a position transfer: Jared would be appointed chairman of Sentiment Chemical Limited, starting next Monday, making him Xavier's superior.
"Why? Why?" Xavier roared, tearing the document to shreds.
"What's wrong, Mr. Jennings?" his secretary asked, rushing in at his yelling.
"Get lost!" he bellowed, sending her fleeing. His bloodshot eyes made him look like a madman. "It's all your fault, Jared! It's all your fault! I'm going to kill you!" he gritted his teeth.
He couldn't accept being defeated by an ex-convict, a fact that twisted his mind. After a long time, he calmed down. Looking at the shredded document, he slowly opened a drawer revealing a gun. He stared at it, seemingly wrestling with a difficult decision. He raised the gun slowly, stroking its cold steel, and made his choice.
