Alex hurried to his office and searched for the file on his desk but found nothing. The desk was tidy, except for a gift for Aurora. He couldn't bring himself to move it.
'Did I move the file somewhere else?' he wondered.
He was about to call Alvin when his eyes were drawn to the drawers beneath the desk.
Nervously, he opened one of the drawers and widened his eyes when he saw a black folder marked "Confidential."
Taking his time, Alex opened the folder and walked to the seating area, where he sat on the black sofa.
After settling in, he sighed deeply and began to read the document.
He first noticed a photograph of a young woman with long, ash-gray hair; her eyes appeared mesmerizing.
Looking at the picture, he felt odd, as if the girl were staring back at him.
He quickly closed his eyes to dismiss the foolish thought that the picture was alive.
"Focus, man!" Alex reminded himself.
