The call ended.
Alaric set the phone down on his desk, his eyes sweeping over the spacious office. The tall glass walls glowed with sunlight, reflecting off the marble floor. But beneath the beauty of the space, he knew a real threat was lurking. One that couldn't be seen but was definitely out there. Waiting for another chance to strike.
He pressed a small button on the side of his desk. Within seconds, a bodyguard entered. The man was tall, muscular, dressed in a sharp black suit.
"Tighten security," Alaric said without hesitation. "From now on, I want triple the usual measures. Every access point needs to be monitored. No one gets in without being checked."
"Yes, Sir," the bodyguard replied firmly.
Alaric looked at him directly. "That person may try something else. He could disguise himself. I want every staff member's background re-checked, even the ones who seem harmless."
