Yara Reagan was anxious: "What are you thinking? Just sending two people is enough to watch him? Why not send him directly to the police, saying that he and Lucy Carter colluded to spread rumors about our company, that way Julia Lawrence’s death won’t bring any negative news to Gem?"
"It’s not that simple." Evelyn Clayton looked up at her, her tone more serious, "If we’re going to do this, we must et two conditions: one, ensure Gem gets out cleanly, and two, make sure Sumr Monroe is hit hard so she can’t sabotage us anymore. But have you thought about why Sumr could easily sacrifice Soren Foster and throw him in front of , do you think she will sit idly by after we push Soren out?"
Yara was montarily confused, "What do you an? I don’t get it."
Evelyn patiently explained, "It ans that Sumr dared to send Soren over because, in so way, she’s showing weakness; as long as we don’t turn the fire on her, Soren is ours to deal with. And also, she’s not afraid that we might use Soren to threaten her."
"So even if we reported it to the police and brought up Lucy Carter’s involvent, she would find a way to handle it."
"Otherwise, why wouldn’t she hide Soren, and instead hand over such a huge handle to us?"
By the end, Evelyn’s tone was almost severe.
She stared steadily at Yara, "Yara, trust , I will solve this. Also, there are so things I haven’t told you because it’s not the right ti yet, but I will tell you when it is."
Having said that, Evelyn went to find the people in the company’s PR departnt to handle the ergency PR and write a press release for this unexpected incident.
When Evelyn turned around, she saw Yara looking at her with a complex, indescribable expression.
Evelyn was slightly stunned: "Yara—"
Yara averted her gaze, her eyelids drooping as if hiding sothing, but Evelyn still saw the shimr of tears on the verge of falling.
"Yara, I—"
Evelyn wanted to say sothing but was interrupted by Yara’s words.
"It’s nothing." Yara’s voice was soft, "Evelyn, I know since school, whether it’s academics or anything else, I’ve never matched up to you. Now at work, it’s the sa."
"I’ve always felt sowhat inferior to you, but I thought it didn’t matter, at least I could help you, however little I could... But now looking at you, I feel so far apart from you."
"You have secrets you don’t want to tell , things you don’t want to tell —because you think even if I knew, I wouldn’t be much help, right?"
Evelyn panicked for a mont and stepped forward to grab Yara’s hand, "No, Yara, that’s not what I an—"
However, Yara avoided Evelyn’s hand.
Evelyn’s words ca to an abrupt halt.
She suppressed the sourness in her throat and spoke softly, "Yara, I’ve kept things from you, but it’s never because I thought you couldn’t help ..."
"Whatever it is, I don’t want to care anymore." Yara waved her hand lightly, her face full of fatigue, "If you can handle it alone, then don’t say anything, I’m tired too."
With that, Yara went back to her office, shortly after grabbing her backpack and looking like she was about to leave.
Evelyn hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed her wrist, "Yara! Where are you going?"
"Taking a break." Yara pulled her hand away, her expression calm yet firm, "I’ll co back when I’m no longer in your way."
