Walganus Capital?
“Why on earth would she go to Walganus Capital? That's just asking for trouble!” Amber, standing next to Alexander, becvisibly distressed as she paced with worry.

“Breathe, Amber.”
Alexander soothed her, gently holding her hand and smiling reassuringly. “You know how Coral is-charming and not one to stir up serious trouble. Besides...”

Amber’s eyes brightened with a mix of hope and anxiety. “Alex, please, find out! Coral’s been a mafor mischief since she was little, and Walganus Capital is crawling with the high and mighty. If she rubs someone the wrong way, it can spell catastrophe!”
Catastrophe?
Awry smile played on Alexander’s lips as he swiped his phone to life and dialed Yaser.
“Brother-in-law?”
Yaser’s voice cthrough the phone, a bit tense, a testament to the formidable presence Alexander was. known for. “Still up at this hour? What's up?”
“Just a minor issue.”
Alexander’s voice was light. There sounded like a smile in his tone as he spoke into the phone, “I’ve just heard that Coral didn’t stay in Woolpackton. She’s headed to Walganus Capital. Did you go after her?”
There was a brief pause on the line, and Yaser sounded anxious. “Brother-in-law, | was just about to discuss
this with you. Coral slipped away to Walganus Capital, and she wouldn't lettag along. | wouldn’t be so concerned if it were any other company, but...she’s interning at a foreign firm that’s got a pretty shady
reputation.”
Shady reputation?
Alexander’s brow furrowed, but his voice remained steady. “Take it easy, and telleverything.”
Yaser quickly explained, “Our school’s got this deal with the company, so a lot of grads end up interning there. Coral got in without a hitch. However...there’s been talk, you know? Older students say the boss is bad news, preying on the young and pretty ones. It’s not exactly a secret.”

However, Coral was not snewbie without a hint of awareness. She was savvy enough to handle herself against such sleaze. “Yaser.”
With a comforting smile, Alexander cradled his phone and said, “Coral’s got a good head on her shoulders. You don’t have to worry about her.”
Still, Yaser’s worry was palpable, his voice tinged with urgency. “It’s not Coral I’m fretting over. It's her boss! Rumor has it that he’s drugged his employees before-real nasty stuff. And Coral is a knockout. If he sets his sights on her...” He trailed off, the unsaid fears hanging heavy in the air.

Yaser immediately answered, “It’s called Aarison Auto-Electric. | don’t know the boss’s name, just that he’s a foreigner with tight ties to a big domestic group. Something like... New Evan Energy Group.”
New Evan Energy Group?
