A dull thud resounded in the basement, causing Nadia to flinch as she glanced at Booker's unmoving body.
Everything happened so fast, it took her a full second to register his death.
Her breathing turned uneven as she turned to look at Alex.
His cold, expressionless visage reflected in her eyes, and at that moment, Nadia's heart skipped a bit.
As her lips quivered, she felt like something had to be said but found herself unable to make a sound.
Ultimately, she resolved to remain quiet, allowing the silence in the basement to linger for a little while longer.
Alex didn't as much as spare Nadia a glance as his gaze lingered on each suited male standing guard before finally landing on the blonde lady at the center.
Meeting his cold, unfeeling gaze, a smile tugged at the corner of Charlotte's lips as she remarked. "You know how to set quite the atmosphere."
Alex looked her over briefly before he replied. "I have 3 questions for you."
