Have you solved the company's problems?" his father asked. "Not yet, dad. But it seems that in our company there is an employee who is trying to betray us. It is suspected that the traitor is Ferdy, the finance officer. But, Daren is still looking for more evidence to bring him to justice," said Daren. Varro nodded.

"Hopefully this problem will be resolved quickly," said Varro, "This is the first time in Davidson's company that someone has betrayed," continued Varro while exhaling a rough breath.
