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
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
"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
"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
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
'Relax... Relax everyone. I'm perfectly fine. I just took a break for a few days. No need to worry so much and if you have an important message for me, send it to my inbox privately.' Heaven sat back on the swiveling chair after she had sent this message. I'm left reeling in shock. Is Heaven the boss lady they are referring to? 'Boss, take a look at this. This is what the client wants but— It's so difficult to get the appropriate design,' someone sent a message to Heaven, replying privately to the one she sent to the group. Heaven looked closely at the blueprint. I can't see anything on the screen except a pale white background with a few lines on it. Heaven moved her hands on the mouse and clicked on the cursor. The screen gradually began to bring out the theme of whatever picture it is. Just a few minutes later, I'm astounded at what I'm seeing. It seems to be the layout design of a lounge or is it a restaurant if I'm not wrong. It's a beautiful royal blue color desi
Detective Tom's hands flipped the pages faster. The next information displayed Hawk's personal life. It stated that he was divorced but had a child. Where is the child now? It also mentioned that he has a mother. Is his mother still alive? The remaining information was also useless to the detective because it only contained analysis about Hawk's job. Detective Tom closed the file when he reached the last page. He realized two things. There was not a single picture of Hawk in the file. There wasn't any personal, valid information about his address in the file. Did James not request for these two vital information when the file was being prepared? Besides, the file gave off the impression of Hawk having a good office relationship with his colleagues and his boss... Why then was he detained? Why did a large load of criminal records spring up on him all of a sudden? Detective Tom looked at the file in his hand. The file has caused him to reason if those criminal records of Hawk that w
The room shivered from the freezing atmosphere. The sounds of fingers tapping the keyboard grew rapidly. The officers were even more pressured to give officer Joe a satisfactory answer. They didn't dare to sit straight which ended up causing their backs to be in a stiff position. Officer Joe's eyes reddened as he panted in anger. He felt like he had just ran a 200-meters race with the way he screamed just now. He managed to calm himself and walked round the room, from one seat to the other. The officers were sweating profusely given the intense pressure his presence cast on them. Just when he was on the third row, an officer suddenly shouted excitedly. His loud voice filled with relief,"Boss, I found it!" Before officer Joe could take a step forward to the subordinate that had just spoken, another officer called out,"Me too!" Then another and another... Till every officer in the room had spoken. They all seemed to have found the location at once. Officer Joe stopped in h
