The Billionaire's Trials 122: Q... is back.
"Mr Hawk!?," Someone exclaimed again. "How come you are here?" Everyone turned to the director that uttered these words. It was the same pot bellied director that's been supporting Miles this whole time. They all cast suspicious glances at him and he realized what he had said. "What do you mean? Can I not be here?," Mr Hawk questioned as he entered the conference room in long, confident strides. "No! No, that's not what I mean," The director hurriedly denied and tried to reframe his words. "You have never shown up at any of the board meetings so I was naturally surprised to see you like I'm sure others are too." The room nodded with agreement. Mr Hawk smiled and picked a seat casually. "Carry on. I am not disturbing your activity, am i? I'm only slightly upset that no one informed me of such an important voting session." As he said this, his eyes trailed to Leo again. The latter was already watching him so their eyes collided. They shared a smile that didn't reach either of t
The Billionaire's Trials 123: It Made No Sense At All.
Jake appeared puzzled. Q? Who is that again? Leo recognized the look on his face and shook his head in disappointment. "Have you forgotten so soon about the private investigator Larson hired?" It was as if a light bulb was suddenly switched on because Jake immediately nodded though the look on his face wasn't a happy one. He could still remember their last meeting with Larson back then at the hospital. He could still remember how the so-called lawyer shamelessly hogged all of his boss's attention. "What has Q got to do with all this boss?," He discreetly reminded Leo of the question he had asked. "He sent all those information to me just before I got to the company this morning," Leo enunciated with a little smile. "I do not know he got to know that I was going to attend a board meeting." Thinking about what had happened in the conference room earlier made Jake boil with anger again. "They really thought uncle Miles would become the new chairman of the company. I wonder how he's
The Billionaire's Trials 124: Liar!
Jake subtly moved an inch closer to listen to the conversation and unknowingly bent low. "I already informed them. Dad knows I'm here but he doesn't know the reason. I just wanna make sure you are really fine as you claim to be." Jake's eyes widened when he heard the familiar pleasant voice. Valerie? Valerie is in San Francisco? "I already told you that I'm fine. Send the name of the hotel you lodged in to me. I'll visit you as soon as I'm through with my workload," Leo didn't notice Jake eavesdropping. He had even forgotten about the latter's presence. "I'm not at any hotel. I changed my mind. Father has a small villa here that is barely used. I'll send the address to you. Come over as soon as you can," Her voice lowered with each word, sounding sultry to one's ears. Jake suddenly felt aggrieved. He is the one clearly engaged but why is it the boss that's enjoying a sensual relationship like this? "Sure," Leo's reply was short. The phone went silent and Jake stood
The Billionaire's Trials 125: Deja Vu.
Leo's lopsided smile appeared again as he noticed her ears turning pink. He had an inkling to what she was thinking. If she would have acted bashful like this after just sharing a bed with him, why did she plead to stay in his room then? But he indeed instructed the maids to prepare her favorite meals. He had already given them instructions before they went to bed. He isn't disappointed that she didn't eat it. He's just worried. She skipped her meals. If Mae didn't notice it on time, it could go on for a long time without him finding out because he would have been too busy with the company. "Here... Drink this before it gets cold," He stretched the cup of tea to her. "I might puke if I drink that... I don't want to," She stubbornly refused. Leo smiled again. Does she know that she is whining like a child? "Then... I'll drink it. I bet Mae's good at cooking too. I might try her dishes before leaving," He mumbled nonchalantly and raised the cup. Heaven's hands clenched aga
The Billionaire's Trials 126: Thought Our Ceo Was Sterile...
Leo ignored the curious looks he got at the company as he walked to the elevator while carrying Heaven in his arms. A team of bodyguards were following behind him. "OMG! Is that our Ceo!?," One of the employees whispered. "I never thought I'd get to see the Ceo carry a lady in his arms. I always thought that perhaps that thing wasn't working well." This comment garnered a lot of gasps. "Better make sure that word doesn't get to the Ceo. This should be able to tell you that he's straight and not what you think. How could you even imply that he's sterile?" "He'd have your head on his table if he hears that!" "But she didn't lie... She was only speaking the truth. Our Ceo has always shown great contempt for any close contact with a female so what else were you expecting us to think?" "I don't care what you guys say. He'll always be my dream guy. Haa! I have to take a picture of this moment and cherish it forever." The bodyguards swept the place with their cold gazes an
The Billionaire's Trials 127: In A Wrong Row.
"Leo," Heaven sounded weary as she called out to him. "Heaven?," Detective Tom's eyes widened. He glanced at Leo then back to Heaven. So... This is what or who the rascal was tryna hide in the room. Why does his sixth sense keep probing him that something is fishy? Leo stood up, completely ignoring the detective's presence. One part of him was dying to know how much she heard while the other was simply worried. Seems like worrying has become a constant thing in his life these days... At least, after the whole scenario that's been going on. "You couldn't sleep?," He asked as soon as he got to her. She shook her head sideways as a response. But before he could say something, she whispered in a hoarse tone,"I... I saw mom. She was... She was lying on that bed looking all bloody and..." She choked, unable to complete her sentence. It seemed like she had cried before stepping out. Detective Tom's eyes widened when Leo suddenly pulled Heaven into a hug and wrapped his hands
The Billionaire's Trials 128: Her Secret.
"Then turn around and leave. I'm giving you twenty minutes to come back here with our lunch," Leo's tone left no room for argument. Jake grumbled lowly and turned around. As the door closed behind him, Heaven gave Leo a discerning look. "You shouldn't treat him like he's your servant. Show some respect. He should be older than you " Leo chuckled,"Did he complain? I'm not treating him like a servant. He's my friend." Heaven didn't reply to this. She simply looked around the office and then stared at the desktop on his desk. "Can I borrow this for some minutes?," She pointed at them. Leo looked at her and then nodded. He brought out his phone and just then, a picture came in. It was from Valerie. When he clicked on it, he realized that it was a picture of the dishes she has prepared for him. Noting that Leo was paying no attention to her, she walked to his system and went to the browser. Typing out a website, she inputted the log in details and as soon as she was logged
The Billionaire's Trials 129: Boss Lady (Not Edited.)
Leo clicked on the pictures to check them out but before it could load, a message came in from an unregistered number. He exited Valerie's chat and click on the new message instead. Because he had already viewed the message, it was marked read on Valerie's phone so she kept on refreshing the chat to see if he had replied or not. 'Boss, Larson mentioned that he's been snooping around and managed to find out from officer Joe that the new suspect is the mentally ill old woman he met at the doctor's house but unfortunately, no one knows her location so they haven't been able to question her. I managed to track down her location, should I send it?' Leo knew instantly that the message is from Q. He wanted to reply with a voice message but he remembered just in time that Heaven is also in the room. He resorted to sending a text instead,'Yes. And I just spoke with the detective in charge of this case. He's got some lead of an unknown Mr Hawk. Never heard of him before. But the dete
