It was already late at night but the lights in Senator Rizza Paz's office were still on. One might think that she is a hardworking government official, working overnight. But inside the office, Senator Rizza was seated on a plush chair, her hands trembling as her gaze was fixed on the television.
Senator Melvin was pacing back and forth on the other side of the office, their phones were continuously ringing but they never spared a second to glance at it. They don't have the intention of answering any calls right now.
Not at this moment.
Not in this situation.
The office was silent except for the voice of a female newscaster on the television. The newscaster is talking about an expose that was released earlier that night. It was about a bribery scandal involving numerous high-ranking government officials who were receiving bribes from a businessman owning a huge business empire to protect him and his businesses.
