"It's me," Timothy said calmly.
Realizing that it was Timothy's voice, Heath's body stiffened. "It is you, Mr. Barrett! Where are you?"
"Where else can I be? Nord City, of course," Timothy responded.
"We've been looking all over for you for a long time. I have to lay low in Nord City because the Lanes will send me back again if they catch me," Heath explained.
Heath had been hiding himself lately. This was a stark contrast from how he was treated in Bern City. He was treated with respect wherever he went as Timothy's assistant.
However, in order to help Timothy win Mia's heart back, Heath had stumbled upon a rough patch recently. He almost broke into tears of joy when he received the call from Timothy.
Timothy ordered, "Go to the subsidiary. Find out who's going to collaborate with the Bowens."
"Mr. Barrett, I think we should pick you up first. Where are you? The Lanes are looking for us everywhere. If they discover you, they might kill you!"
"I've met them," Timothy said nonchalantly.
"What? You've met them? Are you hurt anywhere? Is everything alright? Should I dispatch a team from Bern City right away?"
Assuming that the Lane family had hurt Timothy as soon as they met, Heath thought that they were being absolutely ridiculous.
Heath had been worried about Timothy, who shouldn't get caught by the Lanes. He didn't expect his boss to have actually met them already!
"I'm fine. Your job now is to go to the subsidiary and find out why they are going to collaborate with the Bowens. Whose decision was it? Which fool is it?" Timothy questioned.
"I still think that we should come to you first, Mr. Barrett. Then, we can go to the subsidiary together and solve the issue," Heath suggested.
"I'll go to the subsidiary. You go to the subsidiary now and solve the issue." Timothy hung up the call after saying that.
Next, he returned the phone to the woman. "Thank you."
