"Someone kidnapped Hailee," Ramon said suddenly. One sentence that Lexus didn't expect to hear.
"Hah?" Lexus took a little longer to digest that simple and short sentence. "What do you mean?"
Those three words were like a bomb dropped on Lexus that blocked his way of thinking, making him unable to process quickly like his usual self.
"Hailee is kidnapped," Ramon repeated again. And this time he took a pack of cigarettes out of his pocket, lit a cigarette and stuck it between his lips.
It had been years since Lexus had seen Ramon smoke. His older brother had already broken this habit when he took over the company, although Lexus had seen Ramon pickup the habit again when the company went through a very complicated crisis, at the beginning of the transfer of ownership to him which both depressed and stressed Ramon a little.
And it seems the same thing is happening now.
