“Think of it as being like good friends, getting along peacefully. If you two can manage that, the boss won’t feel so irritated dealing with you both!” Allen’s gaze shifted between the two men.
“Put yourselves in her shoes–if your life were filled with constant bickering and fighting, wouldn’t you get annoyed too?”
He paused before continuing, “Think about what I’ve said. If you agree, then start doing as I suggested. The truth is, the boss doesn’t have the headspace for romantic drama right now. Her mind is entirely focused on finding her father. So, until that happens, I suggest you both keep your feelings and declarations of love to yourselves.
Dylan and Elliot exchanged a glance, then nodded in agreement.
“Fine,” Dylan said.
“Alright,” Elliot echoed.
“Good,” Allen replied. “Now, since you both agreed, don’t just say it–follow through. Otherwise, I’ll enforce the boss‘ orders and ban both of you from stepping foot here.”
Allen couldn’t help but feel a bit smug. Technically, both of these men were his rivals, considering his own past feelings for Suzy. Yet here he was, advising them on how to win her over. A man as generous as him? Truly one of a kind.
The two men nodded in unison and said together, “We’ll do it.”
“Great. For now, go home and give it a couple of days. By then, the boss will have cooled off, and I’ll have a better chance to put in a good word for you both.”
Given the circumstances, neither had much choice but to follow Allen’s advice.
Once they left, Allen returned to Suży to report. “Boss, they shouldn’t bother you again for a while.”
Seeing the mischievous grin on his face, Suzy could guess he wasn’t entirely up to any good, but she didn’t press him. Instead, she said, “Keep up the act with George. There’s still a chance we might get something useful out of him.”
Allen nodded. “Got it. I’ll handle it. It’s late–get some rest.”
Allen was about to leave when Suzy called after him. “Do you think it’s possible…

that my father is hiding himself?”
“Hiding himself?” Allen looked confused. “Boss, what makes you think that? He’s been separated from you for so many years. Wouldn’t he want to reunite with you?”
“Maybe he doesn’t,” Suzy replied with a faint smirk. “What if he’s long since forgotten about me? He’s been living with Charlotte for over twenty years, after all.”
“You mean…” Allen paused, piecing it together. “You think Charlotte hypnotized him, erased his memories of you, and maybe even planted some dangerous ideas in his mind? Is that why he’s avoiding you?”
The more he spoke, the more plausible it seemed. “If that’s true, finding him would be even harder.”
drifted into the distance. “If that’s the case, the more I “Exactly.” Suzy’s gaze search for him, the more he’ll hide. It’s actually pretty easy for someone to disappear when they’re determined to avoid being found.”
“Don’t overthink it,” Allen said, though her theory clearly unsettled him. “It might just be a guess. Let me have someone ask George and see if there’s anything to it.”
Allen quickly called the team guarding George and instructed them to question him about this possibility.
Not long after, his phone buzzed with an update. After listening, his expression changed drastically. “What did you just say?”
He ended the call, his face tense as he turned to Suzy.
Seeing the shift in his demeanor, Suzy frowned. “What happened?”
