The Apple of My Eye

Suddenly, Rob became so nervous that he started stammering. It wasn't until he heard the deep voice that he started to calm down.

"Boss, Charles said that you always carried a jade pendant around your neck. If you bring it to him, he will believe our relationship."

"Really?" After thinking for a while, Ferry moved his right hand to his neck and pulled the jade pendant from his neck.

"Here you are." Ferry gave it to Rob.

Rob took it from Ferry and was instantly relieved.

"Take care, Boss. You'll be out by tomorrow at the latest."

"Okay, we can go back to business once I'm out." Ferry then burst into laughter.

Rob nodded his head in agreement. His eyes seemed to betray a sense of surprise.

In the basement

"Here's the token you asked for," Charles said as he showed Rob the jade pendant in his hand.

At the sight of the jade plate, Rob became extremely excited. "Yes, that's my boss's jade pendant. He always has it around his neck." He rushed to Charles in an attempt to take it from him.

Charles withdrew his hand. "Now that you've seen the jade pendant, will you trust me already?"

"Yeah, I do," Rob said, with a big smile on his face.

"Well, I hope you keep your word. Ferry will come to see you tomorrow around this time," Charles added.

Rob just nodded. He was too excited to say anything.

The next afternoon, Charles brought the well-trained "Ferry" to meet Rob.

At the sight of "Ferry," Rob was immediately shocked. He then stretched out his hands and shouted, "Boss! It's me, Rob!"

"Rob? How did you end up like this? Charles, what have you done to him?!" Ferry turned to question Charles in a rage.

"You can ask him about that. I did what I had to do. Where's the antidote?" Charles asked.

Rob didn't address Charles directly. He just said, "Once I leave here safely with my boss, I'll give you the antidote. Relax."

Charles' face darkened as he said, "That's not what we agreed on. Rob, don't test my patience."
