"Some crazy guy gave it to me. I didn't want it, but he forced it into my hands," Jessica said, dropping the package on the table. "Anyways, I'm so hungry," she added as she headed to the kitchen.Lisa watched her go, still curious about the package and Jessica's evasive explanation. She glanced at the note again, wondering about the story behind it. Deciding not to press the issue further for now, she followed Jessica into the kitchen."Do you want to order something, or should we whip up a quick snack?" Lisa asked, trying to shift the conversation to something lighter as she joined her friend."Anything would do," Jessica answered, then suddenly stopped to look at her friend's glamorous dressing."Tell me, Lisa, what's the occasion?" she asked, a curious smile spreading across her face.Lisa blushed slightly, feeling the excitement bubble up again. "I have a date with Ray tonight," she confessed, unable to hide her smile.When Lisa said those words, a hint of sadness and jealousy fl
It was almost evening, and Esther stood outside of Ashley Quarters, waiting for Mello. The air was thick with tension, and the hum of angry voices spilled out from the building behind her. Investors and shareholders were packed inside, their complaints and demands displaying their discontent and anger Despite the everything around her seem to be chaotic, Esther's mind wandered back to the young man she had met earlier that day. His easy smile and warm spirit had left a surprising mark on her. Making friends had never come easily to her, but with him, it felt natural, almost effortless.Her reverie was abruptly interrupted as a group of investors barged out of the building, toward her."Where's Mello?" Sir Gusta demanded as he got to her, his voice displaying his dissatisfaction."We need an explanation, where is he?" Sir Lee added," We can't keep waiting!! I suggest we take matters into our hands!!" Sir Dean added.She took a step back, feeling the weight of their frustration beari
Mikel paced nervously in the hallway that led to Mello's private office, his mind racing with curiosity. He had hurried back from Ren's logistics back here to find out more information.He had been a spy for Sir Ren for as long as he can remember and had become so good at it in a way that it surprised him sometimes.He Peered cautiously around the corner, Mikel observed the two stern-looking guards stationed outside the office door. They stood tall and imposing, their eyes scanning the hallway with unwavering focus. It was clear they were not there to socialize.Mikel chewed on his lower lip, weighing his options. He needed to know what was happening inside that office, but approaching the guards directly would be futile and risky." Hey, you" a booming voice called.Mikel froze, his pulse racing. He turned slowly to find one of the guards staring at him with a raised eyebrow. "Can I help you? You have been patrolling that spot for a while now, do you have any problem?" the guard aske
Soon they arrived at a beautiful mansion. The huge gate opened automatically, and Mello drove in. They got out of the car and looked around. There was no one in sight; the place was completely empty.Mello smiled, moved over, opened the door, and walked in. The mansion was silent, each step echoing through the empty rooms.They went into the main room to see Mr Baker, Elijah, one of the smartest hacker in the research department, Lex and Kelan. There was also a big visible screen by the wall.Esther placed both of her hands over her mouth and nearly screamed when she saw him. Kelan appeared to be in bad shape, yet he still managed to hold a smile.There was a bandage wrapped tightly around his head She turned to Mello in surprise, her eyes brimming with tears. "How can you hide this from me?""It's a surprise," Mello replied, his voice tinged with regret. "I don't trust anyone anymore, so I had to be careful about who might be eavesdropping on our conversations. I'm sorry.""Come ov
Mello chuckled."Since Sir Ren's main establishment where he conducts his illegal activities is Ren's Logistics, I'm going in myself," Mello declared." What!!" Esther's eyes almost fell off their sockets " What do you mean? " Kelvin shouted." You remember the last time didn't end well!!" Esther rushed." Mello, please don't make any rash decisions please."Mr Baker added.Mello looked at them." This is the only way to save Ashley Group, I have a strong feeling that I'm going to get something out of it when I go in myself." " But Ren's logistics is very tight, how do you plan to make it in."" Well, that's where Ashley pharmaticals comes in. Since Ashley pharmaticals make casual delivery to Ren's pharmaticals today, then I'm going in as one of the delivery boys."" What if they fished you out ""He won't notice anything. His moles must have informed him that I'm still inside Ashley Quarters," Mello asserted. "I just have to get in, and then I'll figure out the rest on my own.""Al
Elijah spoke again into my earbud" I'm wishing you luck, Boss. You don't have to say anything so you won't seem suspicious and I have hacked into their inspections gadgets and surveillance so you can be rest assured you won't be detected."Mello smiled and followed the others in.The inspection team at the entrance allowed them in after a few minutes of running inspection on them.Mello sighed a relief when he saw that they were finally allowed in.It was through the back door and only a few people were around. A guard came and led them down to the store room where they met another group of securities . They all bowed and moved in dropping the boxes on a designated shelf Mello dropped his and walked outside.He took another box and walked slowly.Instead of going through the normal route, he quickly sneaked away into another passage, praying no one noticed his divergence.Mello held his breath and stuck to the wall, careful not to draw attention.The hallway was dimly lit and smell
Mello walked further down the hallway, trying to stay calm. Suddenly, he barged into someone. His heartbeat sank, fearing his cover was blown. He looked up and was relieved to see it was Sir Chen."Mello, what are you doing here?" Sir Chen whispered urgently, his eyes wide with surprise.Before Mello could respond, they heard footsteps approaching. Guards were coming. Sir Chen quickly dragged Mello to a corner and covered his mouth, signaling him to stay quiet." I need to get into Sir Ren's secret office"Mello replied after he freed his mouth." What! That's Sir Ren's top room, this is suicidal! Mello." Sir Chen pointed towards a door down the hall. It was heavily guarded, with six guards stationed outside.Mello's eyes widened in shock. "How am I supposed to get in there?" he whispered, barely audible.Sir Chen leaned in closer, taking a deep breath. "We need to create a distraction. I'll handle the guards. You get inside and find what you need."Mello nodded, grateful for Sir Chen'
Elijah's voice came through Mello's earbud again. "You can go now. The men are already in the building.""Okay," Mello replied.He stood up and turned to his colleague. "I'll go and check if there's any left in the vehicle.""Alright," the colleague said, nodding.Mello walked out, his heart pounding as he made his way through the corridors. He maintained a calm facade, moving with purpose to avoid drawing attention. Reaching the exit, he glanced around to ensure no one was watching and slipped out into the second hallway.Almost instantly, a man emerged from the shadows and walked out. Mello hurriedly hid himself behind a nearby door, pressing his back against the cold stone. The man moved quickly, muttering to himself, his footsteps echoing through the hallway.The man got to the door at the end of the hallway, Sir Ren's secret room.The man knocked in a specific pattern, and after a moment, the door creaked open, allowing him entry. Mello held his breath, watching as the door clos
