Holly refused. After Henry Hughes left, she hurriedly dressed and headed toward The Pantheon.
She didn’t call a cab or ask anyone to pick her up; she drove herself there.
"Boss, why are you here?"
Seeing Holly suddenly appear at The Pantheon door, with such an angry expression, the gatekeeper was stunned.
Holly rarely looked angry.
"Move aside."
Holly pushed the person aside and strode inside.
Despite her small stature, Holly’s strength was extraordinary; she managed to push a tall and sturdy person, causing them to stagger.
The gatekeeper was bewildered, unable to understand why Holly was so furious, especially since nothing seed to have happened recently to provoke her.
"Boss, what’s wrong?"
Walter Bennett saw Holly enter, quickly approached her, and asked concernedly.
When Holly wasn’t around, all the major affairs of The Pantheon were handled by Walter Bennett.
"Anything happened recently?"
Holly plopped down in a chair, glanced coldly at Walter Bennett.
"Nothing."
Walter Bennett shook his head, looking bewildered. Nothing seems to have happened recently; everything was calm.
Everyone at The Pantheon knew Holly’s habits; they rarely disturbed her in winter, mostly keeping to themselves.
What could possibly provoke such anger in Holly?
Walter Bennett was puzzled.
"Are you sure?"
Holly raised an eyebrow.
Walter Bennett nodded.
"What were you doing the night before last?"
Holly focused on her fingers, slowly began to ask.
"I had things to do outside, wasn’t at The Pantheon, but nothing happened that night either."
Walter Bennett frowned and said, shaking his head lightly.
He indeed had an errand outside, and when he returned, everything was quiet, no reports of bad incidents.
So, where does Holly’s anger co from?
Holly chuckled coldly, "Huh."
Walter Bennett stood silently, not daring to speak.
The way Holly was, ant she was furious, and Walter Bennett dared not provoke her.
"Bring the computer."
The temperature inside The Pantheon was low; Walter Bennett had already adjusted it, but Holly huddled in her chair, unwilling to move.
"Alright."
Walter Bennett nodded and went to get the computer for Holly.
Not knowing what had happened, he dared not speak much.
Everyone in The Pantheon quickly knew Holly ca in fury, causing them to instinctively feel a bit scared.
Fearful of Holly when she was angry.
Holly rarely loses her temper, but they had seen her furious side, terrifying to the extre.
"Who was on duty that night?"
Holly got the computer, booting it up while asking.
"It was Joey; I left him in charge."
Walter Bennett tried to recall.
When he left, he had Frank Pierce help manage things.
Frank Pierce had strong capabilities and held significant status in The Pantheon. Walter Bennett always entrusted Frank with managent when he had to go out.
It’s been a long ti now.
Holly nodded, "Hmm."
Her fingers flew across the keyboard, retrieving that night’s surveillance. Every nook and cranny of The Pantheon had surveillance, even the surroundings were covered in caras.
"Boss, did Joey do sothing wrong?"
Walter Bennett cautiously asked.
"Possibly."
Holly gave an ambiguous answer.
Whether or not Joey was at fault, she couldn’t be sure yet, but suspicion had already been planted.
Walter Bennett stayed silent, standing by Holly, awaiting her results.
He was confused, not knowing what had happened.
As Holly’s anger spread, The Pantheon beca enveloped in worry.
No one knew the reason behind Holly’s sudden anger.
Frank Pierce returned from outside, imdiately summoned over, feeling a bit anxious. He nervously clenched his hands, worried.
"Boss, Leo."
Frank greeted as soon as he entered.
"Boss, did you need for sothing?"
Frank looked uneasily at Holly, nervously pulling at his clothes.
He was quite afraid of Holly, despite her usually gentle deanor.
"What do you think?"
Holly retorted.
"I don’t know."
Frank shook his head, looking bewildered at Holly.
He was confused, unaware of the issue Holly was referring to.
"You neglected your duties; shouldn’t you reflect on that?"
Holly stopped typing, her gaze coldly fixed on Frank.
Frank’s heart suddenly skipped a beat, feeling panic as he looked nervously at Holly.
"I don’t understand your aning, boss."
Frank lowered his head, not daring to et Holly’s eyes, staring at the floor.
Walter Bennett knew nothing and dared not speak, standing silently beside Holly.
Scared to say the wrong thing.
Unaware of what Holly had discovered, unsure of what had happened.
"What were you doing the night before last?"
Holly’s eyes fixed on the computer, her voice icy.
Frank instantly panicked, seeing Holly like this, he could guess she was watching the surveillance.
What he had done was clear to see.
"I’m sorry, boss, I was wrong."
Frank confessed, not daring to lift his eyes to look at Holly.
Walter Bennett was startled, incredulously staring at Frank, clearly not believing Frank would commit a misdeed.
Holly’s anger couldn’t possibly be over a trivial matter.
"The Pantheon rules should be clear to you."
Holly looked at Frank.
Frank nodded.
Holly: "The rules prohibit drinking on duty; aren’t you aware of that?"
"Boss, I was wrong." Frank bowed his head, apologizing, "I promise not to do it again."
Upon hearing this, Walter Bennett relaxed, though inwardly puzzled why Holly was so angry.
Soon, a frail-looking man was brought in; he was short, with delicate features, appearing completely non-threatening.
"Henry."
Frank turned, clearly recognizing the newcor.
"Boss, my drinking was unrelated to Henry."
Frank hurriedly explained. The night before, he and Henry drank together; both ended up drunk.
"You think I’m talking about drinking?"
Holly stood up, hands in her pockets, as if her voice was sprinkled with ice.
Drinking?
Sorry, a minor issue like this wouldn’t anger her.
Frank was puzzled, and Walter Bennett even more so.
"See for yourself."
Holly stepped aside, making room for the others to look at the computer surveillance footage.
Both Frank and Walter were stunned upon seeing, incredulously looking at Henry.
The video had no sound, but they clearly saw the content on screen.
It was a transaction, one The Pantheon could not be involved in.
