"Cedric could never be Zahir. What secret could he possibly be hiding from her? With his polished, sophisticated demeanor, how could he be the leader of Lone Wolf?" "Forget it," Daniela muttered, shifting her focus back to her files. "I want strawberries. Go wash sfor me." Without hesitation, Cedric left.
From the sidelines, Nikolas let out a cold chuckle. “Daniela, even you misjudge things sometimes? If Cedric turns out to be Zahir, I'll eat my damn hat!" As Cedric gently rinsed the fruit for Daniela, a message from Mose blinked onto his screen.
"Boss, you've still got it. I thought Ghost would be a challenge for you, but you took care of it like it was nothing." Cedric quickly typed back, "Was anyone nearby when that happened?" With a strawberry nestled in his hand, he sent the message and casually placed his phone down.
The phone's screen stayed illuminated, still waiting for a response.
Another message pinged from Mose. "Don't worry, I led Shadow away. No one saw a thing. But I still don't understand. Why does Shadow guard you? And for all these years?" Cedric didn't have an answer himself.
