Jake delved deeper into the investigation, determined to uncover the truth behind the mysterious bidder 45. He spent countless hours scouring every shred of evidence, leaving no stone unturned.
"Dam it... There's nothing I can find about this guy." He said his voice etching with frustration. "It's just like a blind search; I don't know why boss Smith wouldn't just give up on this guy. I mean there are other people we can extort from.
Besides, he already paid for the girl, so why is boss Smith after him? Just because he paid a hundred million dollars? That's not enough to try and dupe him of more money.
I mean, he is probably just a pervert who wants a slave he can screw with whenever he wants or maybe he runs a harlot home or something. I'm just so tired of this blind search." Jake complained, throwing all the papers on his desk away.
Suddenly, his phone rang. Jake hesitated after seeing who was calling; it was Ava.
