On getting to the Security room, the manager spoke up again. “Miss Hannah, I am so sorry for the trouble the situation tonight has caused you. We will begin the investigation the right way. Is there anything we should know?”

“No, just look for my atm card and compensate me by letting me do my spa session for free. You have delayed me past the time that I am supposed to spend here.”

The manager was familiar with Hannah’s game. All she wanted was a free spa session.

“What if they don’t find the card with me?” Cephas scoffed. He knew that Hannah had something up to her sleeve.

She obviously wanted a free treatment.

“Then I will receive every judgment the hotel melts out on me. Everyone here knows that you are the culprit.” She said with confidence when she knew she was lying.

“Now that we have reached an agreement, shall we start the investigation?” Cephas asked the manager.

    Given that he got there earlier than others, Cephas did not expect that he would be the only one at the company. The whole place was empty, like everyone just clocked out when it was already 8am.Only the security men were around, they only greeted him and didn’t stop him from entering because he had a pass card with him. That was lax behavior on their path. Back at the Walter’s corporation, the security checks everyone one by one when they go out and come in to ensure the safety of everyone in the building.What he just saw was enough reason to discourage him from buying the company but that wasn’t his main goal. His main goal was to teach Kade a lesson for snatching his wife. Violet had lost a lot by divorcing him a day before he got his wealth back, it would be unfair on her if he doesn’t lose anything.Though he had an advantage of using the card, he was going to change the fact that a pass card can unlock everywhere in the company as soon as he completes the purchase.

    Cephas was stunned, he didn’t expect Kade to come in at that moment but he hid his astonishment. “Look at what we have here today,” He grinned at Kade.“What are you doing in my office?” Lade growled at him. He felt threatened that Cephas was sitting in his chair and even shocked that he was in the office in the first place.He wondered how Cephas got into his office and even had the guts to sit on his chair.“What do you think?” Cephas replied to him without standing up from the chair. He was trying to buy time for Jose and Anta.“The HR said they were hiring cleaners, did you steal my contact information from Violet so you can come and ask to secure a spot for you? You must be really shameless.” he spat.Cephas laughed to himself, Kade really thinks he came to apply for a job.“Stop laughing, your laughter is irritating. I see you got some suit, My Violet complained about looking for some cash. I will let her know who took it and what the person has used it to do.” Kade accused hi

    “Phew!” Cephas sighed. “That was a narrow escape,” he said to himself after shutting the door to Kade’s office, while his panting calmed downHe didn’t get caught and the operation was smooth even when they had not planned it from the beginning. “I left his office successfully, came up with Jose, we are going to negotiate with Mr Caleb,” he sent the text to Anta, and kept the phone in his pocket as he found his way to the CEO of Fellas corporation’s office.“Big boss said we should come in, we are going to negotiate with Mr Caleb.” Anta told Caleb and she packed up necessary documents they were going to need. Sarah told her in the past to pack every document that had to do with the files on his table.She also told them they have to be twice as sensible to work with Cpehas because he makes sudden decisions.“Wow, he is really like what Ms Walter described him as. Are we going to arrive at a nice deal with the man?” Will he end up selling the whole company to us?” Josea asked Anta.“

    Kade had a lot on his mind, the card in his hand had only the address to the Walter Corporation. It was probably an access card because there was no one’s name on it. His mind was telling him strongly that Cpehas had something to do with it then he remembered that Violet had told him that his sister was in the police station. He had to resolve that mess first.She might be troublesome but accusing someone of stealing and going to the police station without being released was crazy. She didn’t kill the person, why did they hold her? He took a u-turn to the police station and drove there at the fastest speed.He parked his car in front of the police station and rushed inside. “Good morning, I am here for Hannah Logan,” “Finally, someone showed up for her.
