Nathaniel had helped him immensely, but his sister seemed to have vanished into thin air, leaving no trace behind. His sister would be about the same age as the girl in front of him now, and she used to smile playfully at him.

Taylor's heart stirred, but he was too embarrassed to follow.

As Frey walked to the tree outside the bathroom, she spotted Sawyer.

He was dressed in white casual clothes with his hair dyed gray, which was a color most boys couldn't pull off.

Sawyer's outfit made him look like a cool, handsome character from an anime.

He had his hands in his trouser pockets and was leaning against the trunk of the tree, tilting his head to look at Frey. His left ear had earrings made of obsidian, a striking contrast against the pure white. Mandy stopped to watch the two of them.

Frey walked steadily towards Sawyer. The restaurant's bathrooms were designed in an antique style, with landscape trees adorned with real flowers and vines forming a semi-enclosed space, complete with a pair of bamboo stools, it was perfect for whispering.

Frey took a seat on one of the bamboo stools. Sawyer, smiling gently, sat next to her.

"It's been so difficult to see you!" Sawyer said with a smile. This woman looked pretty good recently, a sign that Nathaniel was taking good care of her.

Thinking of this made him a bit uncomfortable, but he suppressed it and asked, "How have you been?"

"I haven't seen you for a while. I missed you a lot."

Frey had thought Sawyer wanted to tell her something important after making Mandy go through so much trouble, but it turned out to be a meaningless greeting.

Having experienced love and working at Red Shift, she knew what it was like for a man to flirt.

She looked at Sawyer and said, "I searched Nathaniel's office and his computer. However, I can't replace the evidence you're looking for."

Sawyer was momentarily stunned. She went straight to the point, talking business. He couldn't flirt with her.

Logically, he had only met her a few times, but each encounter left a deep impression as if it was engraved in his bones.

Initially, although he admired her, he didn't have any special affection toward her. He did consider using her as a tool for revenge, but her performance truly amazed him.

At the last bidding meeting, he had secretly admired her unique talent from a distance.

Later, he also observed her secretly at business receptions she attended with Nathaniel. She was the eldest daughter of the Gomez family in Saeville, but she possessed a different aura. The more he watched her secretly, the more she captivated him. Now he regretted letting her stay by Nathaniel's side.

Sawyer adjusted his mood. "It's okay. It's not easy to replace evidence from Nathaniel."

"Frey," he paused, looking at her, "replace a chance to leave him. I can help you."

"It doesn't really matter about the evidence. I have other ways. Let's have a meeting and I'll plan to get you out of Saeville."

Frey didn't expect Sawyer to say this. He had wanted her to stay by Nathaniel's side and uncover some of his secrets. Wasn't that his plan?

Now, with no progress, he was asking her to leave Nathaniel.

Sawyer had a bit of youthful frivolity on his face. Boys like him were often popular among girls for their mystery, dominance, coldness, and ruthlessness.

But Frey was no longer the naive girl she was three years ago. This time, she had her own plans for being by Nathaniel's side, free from anyone's disturbance.
