Watching him, Dustin let out a quiet sigh. "Collin, the competition results are about to be announced. Don't you want to see how it turns out?" Collin placed the empty bottle down with a steady hand and casually opened another. His tone was flat.
"Contestant No. 3 is Aurora Bright." Dustin raised a brow. "You saw her just now?" Collin didn't answer. He continued, "She's going to win first place." Dustin knew just how brilliant Aurora's work was, but even so, he was surprised by how little faith Collin seemed to have in their own designer-Arthur.
"Con, Collin. Arthur's the one representing us. He's a seasoned pro in the industry," Dustin argued.
Collin gave a faint, almost cynical smile. "That's the problem. He's been in the gtoo long-set in his ways, blinded by years of praise. His skills have slipped, and now he's trying to win by cheating. He's teamed up with one of the judges, hoping to grab the prize and the huge bonus we promised." Dustin stared at him, stunned. "You're saying Arthur's cheating?" Collin gave a small nod. "Next year, remove Andy Lambert from the judging panel." That caught Dustin off guard.

He pulled out his phone and began typing out the necessary instructions.
Collin gave a short nod. "You can go now." Taking the hint, Dustin didn't push it. He knew better than to linger when Collin was like this.
This wasn't the first the had seen Collin in a mood like this-withdrawn and heavy-hearted.
With that thought, Dustin stood and headed for the door.
But just as he reached it, his phone buzzed. A message cin, and as he read it, his steps faltered. Something in the message made his heart skip. Without hesitation, he turned back and rushed over to Collin.

I just got word-Gorman is coming back!" At those words, Collin's entire demeanor shifted. His expression darkened, and his grip on the bottle tightened. He held his breath, voice low and tense. "Is he coming back alone?" Linsey had vanished without a trace four years ago.
It wasn't long before Collin learned also disappeared that Gorman had also disappeared around the stime. And since then, neither had returned.
He had long suspected that Linsey had left with Gorman.
And if Gorman was now returning with her by his side, that meant they had spent the last four years together.
The thought hit Collin like a punch to the chest.

He and Linsey had barely lasted a year before divorcing. Yet she might have shared four whole years with En another man. His heart ached at the thought.
All he could do now was hope Dustin's next words would ease his worst fears.
Dustin glanced down at the photos sent by his people. His expression was a mix of surprise and confusion. "I don't think so," he replied Collin felt a sharp pain swell in his chest.
A hollow smile tugged at his lips as his eyes dimmed, full of sorrow he could no longer hide.
