Philip was getting frustrated.
He had spent the entire day digging, searching every file, every dusty book, every corner of the internet he could reach, looking for something, anything, that would give him dirt on Raymond. He even went through old archives, press releases, reports from organizations Raymond had worked with, including the ADIG files. But it was all the same. Not a single crack nor a single piece of scandal
Perfect man. Powerful and kind… It was always praise.
He leaned back in his chair, exhaling deeply. He remembered what Dahlia had told him from their last conversation: "If you want to find something dark in someone, look at their past. Everyone has one."
But what if Raymond didn't?
Suddenly, his phone buzzed. It was David.
"You're needed in the Top Room," David said plainly. No greetings, just the usual clipped tone.
