As Alex and Sepharine strolled towards home, her phone rang, prompting Sepharine to excuse herself, explaining that it was her boss calling.

Boss: [on the phone] Sepharine, are you by yourself?

Sepharine: Yes, I'm alone. Is there something urgent?

Boss: I need an update. Have you gathered any useful information from Alex?

Sepharine: I have. Surprisingly, he's been quite forthcoming with me. He mentioned that the assassins use various gadgets and weapons to carry out their missions.

Boss: That's good to hear. Keep up the act, but don't get too relaxed. Remember, he's a target, not a friend.

Sepharine: Got it. I'll stay vigilant.

Boss: Meet me on the rooftop of the building next to Ocean World Natural Park. We need to discuss the intel in person. I don't want to risk anything getting out over the phone.

Sepharine: I'll be there soon. Is there anything else I should bring?

Boss: Just yourself-and stay sharp. We can't afford any slip-ups at this stage.

Sepharine: Understood. I'll see you shortly.

She ended the call, taking a deep breath, aware that this meeting could signal the next critical step in their mission.

As she was about to slip her phone into her pocket, she noticed Alex approaching. In a flash, she sprang into action, turning off the phone just in time. With quick reflexes, Alex snatched the device from her hand, teasingly asking, "Who were you talking to, my darling?" She quickly fabricated a story, claiming her boss is has called . To change the subject, she added, "My phone battery is dead; can I head home now?"

They shared a sweet kiss before Sepharine made her exit. Meanwhile, the unsuspecting Alex wandered into a nearby casino, while Sepharine made her way to the building across the street.
