"Mhm"
Nia "Eudora, you sound tired. Didn't you sleep well?"
(Eudora Qin is stage name of Ivanna)
Eudora "No"
Nia "Eudora Qin , don't tell me you didn't sleep at all ! you need to take care of yourself! You can't keep skipping sleep."
Eudora "I know"
Nia "Alright... Your flight back is set for 9 am today."
Eudora "Okay"
Nia "And don't forget, you have to be on set by 12 pm for filming. We can't afford to delay."
Eudora "Got it"
Nia "Alright, Big Star. Try to get some rest on the plane, and I'll see you at the airport."
Eudora "Bye"
Nia "Bye, Big Star !"
Ivanna busied herself packing her belongings and disguising herself, knowing she couldn't venture out as a boy.
Meanwhile, Albert Wang, team leader of Crime Unit 3, was still awaiting forensic results and speculating about the crime scene. His captain's call interrupted his thoughts.
"Any updates on the case?" his captain asked.
"We're still waiting for forensic reports," Albert replied.
The captain's anger was palpable. "What reports? The criminal has already been caught! What have you been doing?"
Albert was flabbergasted. "Who caught him? And when?"
He suddenly recalled Captain Iven Yang of Team B, International Police, whom he had dismissed as a novice.
His captain's stern reply caught him off guard. "I heard you denied them cooperation and didn't allow them to investigate. And to make matters worse, you asked them for information on the case!"
Albert stammered, "Y-yes, I just wanted to—"
The captain cut him off, his voice rising in indignation. "What were you thinking, Albert? International police can't leak confidential information on dangerous criminals! Do you know how many protocols you've broken?
"Did you not study police protocols? Did you not know that IP forces can't share information on ongoing cases? And yet you had the audacity to ask Captain Yang for details!
"And you know who he caught? Red Spider, the world's 5th most dangerous assassin! And if that was not enough they even caught him in just 2 hour without any of the cooperation of yours ,Can you believe it?"
Albert's eyes widened in shock. "R-Red Spider? T But...how?"
The captain's tone turned icy. "That's not for you to know, Albert. What's important is that you've compromised the entire operation with your incompetence.
"A committee has been formed to investigate your actions. I'm afraid this will result in your suspension, Albert. Maybe even worse."
Albert's world was crumbling around him, and he knew he had no one to blame but himself.
Albert sighed, accepting the inevitable. "I...I understand, sir. But isn't my suspension being dealt with a bit too quickly? Usually, it takes 4 days to a week for the committee to review and discuss suspension..."
The captain's voice turned cruel, sending a chill down Albert's spine. "Oh, it's not just a usual case, Albert. You see, the one who filed the complaint against you...is the Chief of IP himself."
Albert's eyes widened in horror as he felt his world crumbling around him. He trembled, his voice barely above a whisper. "T-the Chief of IP...himself?"
The captain's tone remained icy. "Yes. And when the Chief of IP files a complaint, it's not just a matter of protocol. It's a matter of international relations. And you, Albert, have compromised that."
Albert regretted what he did so much that he wanted to dig a grave and bury himself out of shame.
While on the other side Ivanna assembled her stuff and packed her belongings and she wore a light disguise and a face mask , which she could take off any time easily and booked a bike transportation service to deliver her sweety at home and left the hotel .
After reaching the airport first thing she did was to find a blind spot of cameras in basement parking and went behind the pillar in corner took off her wig and mask and went into washroom for further blending.
A little latter she came out revealing her proper beauty but her face was still covered in mask and glasses because she was a star and she didn't wanted to grab any attention.
