After that dinner, the next day, Laura Thorne and Quincy Shaw left Valois as planned, boarding a flight back to Suthesia.
On this day, all of Valois was as calm and peaceful as ever, as if nothing had happened.
Summer Thorne was also her usual self that day, showing no signs of anything unusual. She arrived at the company on time and spent the afternoon busy with interviews, looking for a new manager for the shipping company's freight yard.
After an afternoon of interviews, she had more or less decided who to hire.
The company's administrator, who also handled HR, had been with her all afternoon, sifting through candidates. When they finished, she let out a sigh of relief, stretched her neck, and invited Summer Thorne to dinner.
Summer Thorne was about to accept, but just then, her phone suddenly rang.
She glanced at the caller ID, waved a hand at her colleague, and walked back to her office with her phone before answering the call.
