?<strong>Chapter 766:</strong>


    “Where’s Fannie?”


    “She is currently tied up in a meeting. I’m her assistant, handling her calls. Can I ry any message for you?” Selma’s hands were mmy as she clutched the phone, waiting for his response.


    Bobby shrugged it off and flicked a quick look at his watch. “How much longer will she be?”


    “About two more hours,” Selma responded, her voiceced with forced calm.


    “Then tell her I’ll be there to pick her up in two hours.”


    “Understood, will do.”


    With that, Bobby ended the call.


    With a deep sigh of relief, Selma quickly turned off Fannie’s phone and threw it out of the window.


    Her high heels echoed on the office floor as she hurried along, her mind racing with worry.


    By this time, the office had mostly emptied out.


    Selma turned off the lights in Fannie’s office to make it seem like no one was there.


    Leaving the office felt surreal to her, as if she were moving through a dream.


    Nevertheless, she made her way out of the building without incident.


    Returning half an hourter, Selma dragged a huge suitcase from her home back to the office.


    Darkness had settled over the entire office.


    The building was deserted.


    The elevator reached the floor where Fannie was.


    Light from the elevator briefly flooded the area, casting a long shadow from Selma as she maneuvered the bulky suitcase, trying to lookposed.


    The closing elevator doors slowly shrouded her in shadows.


    Suddenly, the security guard shone a shlight in her direction.


    “Who’s there?”


    “It’s me, Selma Todd,” she responded evenly.


    “Ah, Selma.” The guard recognized her voice and noted the suitcase. “Off on anotherte-night task?”


    Selma nodded. “Yes, just needed to retrieve something I forgot here.”


    “Alright then. I’ll check the other floors. Try to leave soon; it gets riskyte at night.”


    “Thank you.”


    With the guard ascending in the elevator, Selma was left alone. She was unconcerned about surveince, confident the guard would confirm her story of retrieving something.


    Entering Fannie’s office, she found Fannie still out cold. Selma stuffed her into the suitcase and made a quick exit from the building.


    Selma drove off, initially without direction, her eyes flicking nervously to the rear.
