No? Rachel inquired with doubt.

Was there truly no backup vehicle available for this project site located in a remote suburb? How did they handle their everyday purchases without it? Rachel looked to Dewey, searching for any hint in his expression.

He just gave a nod, then said, Yes, there was one vehicle.

But its currently at the repair shop today.

Well need to wait until tomorrow to bring the car here.

..

Library Rachel remained quiet, thinking whether his explanation was true.

Dewey cleared his throat and said, Miss Bennet, if I recall correctly, the afternoon meeting is set for 3 oclock, isnt it? Thats right.

In that case… why not come with us? Mr.

Gibson has a doctors appointment at 3:30 this afternoon.

We could drop you off at the meeting venue on the way.

Rachel quickly looked at Dewey and then at Alberto, taking a moment to think before inquiring, Would that work for you? Its perfectly fine.

Alberto responded calmly.

Rachel looked at her phones screen to check the time displayed.

Okay, thank you.

Not a problem.

Ill get the car ready.

You might need to help us moving Mr.

Gibson to the courtyard, Dewey said with a sigh of relief, offering a warm smile.

Rachel gave a confirming nod and took hold the wheelchairs handle.

The Maybach cruised effortlessly along the asphalt road.

Rachel and Alberto occupied the back seat together.

She rested against the window, lowering a bit to invite a refreshing breeze that refreshed her mind.

Dewey drove while occasionally looking at them through the rearview mirror.

Suddenly, he inquired, Miss Bennet, if I remember correctly, this meeting with the Health Bureau was initially intended for you and Kleins team.

Why are you going there alone? They proceeded ahead, Rachel responded, opening her laptop and accessing the data.

Deweys smile wavered slightly.

As an experienced professional in the corporate world and who knew the team members well, he identified something was off despite her understated response.

This meeting was significant.

Klein wouldnt have just left with the others alone.

Instead, hed typically utilize the travel time to assemble the team and plan out the meetings agenda.

But he departed before Rachel? The only explanation was that Klein didnt accept Rachel as the deputy manager, and in fact, didnt take her seriously at all.

This was crossing lines, a significant career mistake.
