Chapter 47
Dirmer on Friday?
1 hand surressfully dodged his advances every time; however, I couldn’t stay in a passive position forever. He was theme who hurt, so why should free in doubt and fear? I should be him
After a small pause, agreed with hits with a professional smile,
“Why not, Mr. Reed? See you Triday evening.
As soon as belts left, I checked the documents of his business reemds, where it was mentioned that he was married once and now donered. But using his resources, he was able to conceal his spouse’s identity. As expected, there were probably only a few people who knew that we were married
Staring at the documents blankly, I was overwhelmed by the memories of the post as once, seeing my name with Feliz was the biggest Our marriage rettificate was my precinis possession, proof of mir sacred union.
But what did he do?
He broke the heart of the woman who loved him wholeheartedly, punishing her for daring to trust him. The trauma of losing my sense of self had left deep scars on my heart, and there was only one method to ease my suffering: Felix’s acknowledgment!
I needed him to admit everything he had done. Exposing his true nature before the public was my plan. His blind admirers must see what kind of person he really was!
The thought of his ruined reputation and public backlash kept me calm throughout the week.
At this time, Echo reported to me the latest progress in finding former Reed Aerospace employees. Dr. Martinez, who had worked on Felix’s early projects, was my ultimate destination. A witness who could testify to the technical shortcuts and ethical violations
Several engineers had no idea about the internal problems, but I remembered the details clearly. Yet, he wasn’t among the engineers contacted by Echo. As I read the engineers files, my heart sank, enveloping my trembling existence with concerns
This engineer was supposed to be my prime witness, proving Felix’s questionable business practices with evidence of the technical compromises I had witnessed. However, it appeared that he had vanished without a trace.
So, as a last resort, I decided to meet the engineers related to those early projects.
A group of five engineers came to visit me for a confidential meeting. I called them using the excase of a consultation. Without beating around the Brush Tasked them.
“Thank you so much for coming. Please tell me about Dr. Martinez, who worked on satellite projects five years ago.”

My query was followed by pin drop silence as they all remained silent, as if I had asked a question about classified government secrets. One of them looked at the others and spoke quickly.
“Sorry, ma’am:
Liar!
We don’t know any Dr. Martinez. We all started working with Reed Aerospace recently and..”
It wasn’t difficult to catch their lies, as I had records of their employment history, which clearly stated that they had worked with the company for years. Hearing their rehearsel lies, I keenly observed the body language of the engineeri–a method to identify someone with a conscience among them. There was always a weak link in the group, Scared of being caught. I just needed to use his fear against him for the truth.
more than his words, suggesting that he wanted to speak but couldn’t. So, I walked towards him and said,
Dr. Martinez worked on critical stelle systems. Before relocating abroad, his expertise was crucial for several major projects. Now, I need to understand some technical specifications that only he would know.”
“I know about Dr. Martineat
and told me, “He was a senine systems.
That terrified engineer’s shaky voice brought a smile to my face. He couldn’t stay silent under pro engineer on several projects, but one day, he came to the office in a panic. I tried to discuss a project with him, but he handed in his resignation, saying that he was leaving the country immediately.
Trom that day, he never n
er returned and changed all his contact information. No one has any information about his current location.
His statement made my heart race. I was unable to wrap my head around the reality of what could be the reason for Dr. Martinez’sudden disappearance. If he got a job offer abroad, then why did he leave in such a hurry and cut off all contact with his past?
in danger. As I contemplated it, it occurred to me that the situation wasn’t as simple as it appeared. The doctor had to flee the country as if he were in although he was just a systems engineer. Then the unknown reason for him leaving abroad didn’t make sense. I was definitely missing a piece of this puzzle.
This confession left me with no choice, sol let everyone leave and asked Echo.
“According to his colleagues, Dr. Martinez left the country five years ago. Please expand the search internationally and keep looking. We will find him
for sure.”
Echo noted the points of Dr. Martinez’s disappearance and asured me about good results soon. However, my mind was stuck on the scene of my suffering at Reed Aerospace. In that toxic environment. Dr. Martinez had appeared briefly before vanishing. But now, this coincidence felt more suspicions
I thought to myself, I will revisit those early project files to investigate when the time is right. Perhaps I will be able to find a clue.”
