My Masked Wife Chapter 102
"I'm sorry, Edna, but I don't think I can accept your offer despite how tempting it is. For so many reasons I can't explain, it feels so wrong," Derek told the woman, outrightly declining the offer that he was so close to actually accepting.It was the feeling of things not being right that was bothering him. And if he put that feeling aside, he would jump on the offer without thinking twice. But not at that moment."What's wrong? Maybe you need to find a way to make me understand. Or do you perhaps think I'm messing with you? If that's what you think, I'll call my lawyer now so he can draft the documents now that will effect the handing over. I'm being serious here."He has never seen Edna look as stern as she did right at that moment. Every word that came out of her mouth felt sincere and he actually wanted to believe her."It's not that," he said. "Like I said before, it's a whole lot that I can't explain and I really can't." He shrugged after saying that. "I just can't place my ha

The public space was quiet just like it would everyday by that time of the night. The lights were on and it illuminated the place, giving a sight into the space that was the shadow of itself during the day.It was void of anybody and anyone except one particular person…Eugene Leviathan had taken his time to show up at a venue like that, secluded away from the prying eyes of others. And he sat on a bench, patiently waiting for someone.His position was almost motionless that anyone who passed by him would think he was some type of statue. But he was human, glued to the spot as he awaited the arrival of the person he was there to see.The headlights of a car gave the public space even more view and the lights were directed into Eugene's eyes. He didn't flinch but was filled with the awareness that his companion had arrived.The car stopped not too far away from him and from the back seat of the car a lady stepped out. It was at that time that Eugene decided to look up to catch sight of

"Excuse me?" Gina said, turning around to look at the man. She looked him square in the eyes to confirm if she heard right and the man made sure he held her gaze as well."Yes," Eugene responded and then stood up from where he sat."I wanted to confirm if I heard right. Did I actually hear you well?" she asked."You did. And I don't mind repeating what I said." He took two steps toward her and then added, "Work for me, Miss Gina. There's so much you could achieve if you do that. So much we could achieve together. With your level of experience, working with you is going to come in handy."Gina had no words at that moment for the man. Not that she was short of those, she just didn't know how best to react considering the little time she had left.She didn't say anything to the man and just walked off, heading straight to the driver's seat of the taxi she came there with."Here's your payment," she says as counted a certain amount of money out of her purse. "I'll understand if you have t

"Were you offered a job at Jackson and Sons too? Is that why you want to leave?" Gina asked as she really wanted to know why Derek uttered such a statement."No," Derek shook his head. "It's not that at all.""Then why are you suddenly deciding to leave the company? Did you find a job elsewhere?""Something like that. As a matter of fact, it's bigger than me getting a job. I get to own this completely without the fear of being fired. The only fear I might have is how to properly handle the affairs of this one."Gina picked on what he said without thinking too much into it. The words were clear enough."But how? How long have you been planning this?" From the tone of her voice, one could tell that she wasn't pleased. She didn't like the idea of knowing that something like that was going on and she had no idea until that moment."I haven't been planning anything at all. A friend just offered me the chance to run my own enterprise and I'm still thinking of accepting it or not. There's a l

"Hello, Mr. McKay."To Derek's surprise, that came from the man standing in front of his apartment.He knew that car wasn't the one he recognized as it didn't look anything like Catherine's car. So when he stepped out of it and saw the Eugene Leviathan there, he was stunned a bit."What are you doing here?" he asked in a stern voice."I know you must be surprised to see me but I mean no harm," Eugene Leviathan told him, trying to sound as reasonable as possible but Derek wasn't buying it."How did you find this place?""Well it wasn't much work," Eugene said casually. "Aren't you going to invite me in?""What I'm going to do is invite the cops over so they can get you out of my premises this instant," Derek declared, already enraged."Easy there, tiger. I just came here to talk.""And I don't want to talk to you. So you can take that your offer and give it to someone else who needs it."Eugene scoffed. "I see Miss Gina already told you. But that's not why I'm here.""If you're not her

Derek went in after he was done talking with the man. They agreed to find time to meet later so they could discuss and it seemed he could find something from him.But before the man left, Derek left him with something very important that he hoped he would help him crack. And from there, he could at least get a good grip of what he was trying to find out.Once he was in, he waited patiently for Catherine. He wondered why she wasn't home yet but didn't bother putting a call through to her.Right in the living room, he sat, drowning his thoughts with a lot of things that he shouldn't necessarily be thinking about.He held on to that level of patience until the door into the apartment was pushed open. And immediately he saw Catherine walk in, he stood up and walked toward her.Catherine looked confused upon seeing him approach her with such momentum. "What's going on?" she asked but the response she got right after she shut the door behind her was the smack of Derek's lips over hers.Dere

"Mr. Leviathan?" Derek asked over the phone after putting a call through to the man he was hesitant to call at first."Yes, who is this?" was the response he got."It's Derek McKay," Derek said."Oh, Mr. McKay. So nice to hear from you. How are you doing?""Very well," A pause then he added, "Actually I'm calling to make a little inquiry from you. I hope you're free to talk at the moment?""Yes, yes. What is it?"Derek was surprised to hear how open the man was to communicating with him. It made him wonder why he had been suspecting the man in the first place.Realizing he was starting to let his guard down, he drowned every thought pertaining to that and said into the phone, "What do you know about encrypted lines?"The man seemed to hum first before saying, "Encrypted lines? The only thing I can say I know about that is they are very tricky. Why are you asking?""I need to know if such lines can be decoded. If there's any possibility at all.""Actually there is," the man said. "The

This was probably the first time Derek was face to face with the Compton branch of Jackson and Sons. And like the HQ in the heart of town, the structure was similar.The notable difference between the Compton branch and the HQ was how smaller in size the Compton branch was compared to the size of the HQ. Asides from that, they looked just the same.Once he got down from his car, he went straight to the entrance and got in after he pushed the door open slightly.From there, he went straight to the receptionist counter, already seeing someone seated behind the counter."Good day, sir," the receptionist regarded him with a smile as she stood up from where she was sitting."Good day," he said as he took a glimpse at his wristwatch. "I'm here to see Eugene Leviathan.""Do you have an appointment with him?""Yes, I do. He told me to meet him here by twelve. This is a few minutes past that already.""And you are…?""Derek. Derek McKay.""I'll just call in and check with him for you, sir. Giv
