The Return Of The Heir

Chapter 8

Lilia returned to her office, even though she was thirty minutes late. He saw that even Rebecca's desk was empty, and he felt a bit relieved that he wasn't late alone. Henry, who is the head of the architectural division, has just returned to the office after working with his superiors.

“You are late?” asked Henry when he saw that Lilia had just arrived.

“Sorry!” Lilia looked down.

“How about the design for the tender? Have you finished it?”

“Alright, I'll show you before it's sent to the higher-ups.”

“Okay, take me to my room now.”

Henry is a tall and handsome man, he has become a promising man when he was only 27 years old. Rebecca was so infatuated with Henry, but he always paid more attention to Lilia. That's why he set up a trap for Lilia last night, he wanted to spoil Lilia so that Henry would no longer be interested in her.

In the end, Rebecca herself had to bear the brunt of that scenario. She was still struggling in the hotel room with the man she had hired herself.

“It's a good design, I didn't wrongly entrust it to you. Even so, some things need to be fixed, I'll help you.”

“Okay, thank you.”

Lilia returned to work after a brief meeting with Henry, she turned to Rebecca's desk. He still didn't come until noon.

“Is Rebecca off today?” Lilia asked her co-worker Desi.

“Maybe, but more like skipping work, maybe. I didn't hear him off in person today.”

Lilia nodded, then went back to burying herself in her work. He didn't realize that Henry occasionally glanced at Lilia from the glass of his office. The man never closed the curtains in his room, only to see Lilia's activities. He has had a crush on Lilia for a long time but still admits his feelings. Reluctant to.

When she got home from work, Lilia was waiting in front of the office to find a taxi. The car he used was still in the bar, yesterday's bastard had dragged Lilia in a taxi to the hotel. This morning he had to leave for work immediately, so he was only able to pick up his car when he got home from work.

“Aren't you taking the car?” asked Henry after rolling down his car window.

“No, I left it at the bar last night.”

Henry frowned when he heard that, he never knew that Lilia could visit a bar, even though she looked like a nice girl who was quiet and far from hedonism.

“Okay, let me drive you.”

Lilia feels lucky when it's time to go home from work like now a taxi is very difficult to get in

Get. He immediately got into Henry's car and fasten his seat belt.

“Were you too drunk that you couldn't drive yourself last night?” Thinking of that annoyed Henry, he wanted to ask how unconscious Lilia was that she couldn't even drive her car.

“I was just drinking cocktails while waiting for Rebecca. I don't understand why I-”

Lilia suddenly stopped her explanation. He didn't want Henry to think that something bad had happened that would damage Lilia's reputation if he said that he had been drugged.

“Were you at the bar with Rebecca? I didn't know you liked going to places like that.”

“You won't believe me if I tell you that last night was my first time at a bar.”

“I believe.”

Lilia was surprised, she looked at Henry who was still driving with care driving keeping a calm expression on his face. Arriving at Lilia at the bar, she immediately headed for the parking lot, but she was shocked when she saw the man last night also taking her car. He had been a bit drunk last night, so decided to take Lilia to the hotel in a taxi and leave the car at the bar.

“You!” shouted Lilia with a curt face. He approached the man and was about to give a punch to the man who had been impudent towards him.

Upon seeing Lilia, the man trembled in fear, “I'm sorry, please let me go. We've already paid for everything. I promise I won't appear in front of you again.”

Lilia was surprised by the frightened face of the man in front of her, Lilia was also annoyed by the word 'we' that came out of the man's mouth, “What do you mean by us? Are you conspiring with other people?”

The man didn't answer and just got in the car and left. Lilia was still standing, she couldn't digest the change in the man's attitude that looked scared. Someone it seems had taught him a lesson on Lilia's behalf, only he was curious as to who else was in cahoots with the man.

“What happened? Who was that man?” Henry patted Lilia's shoulder, who was in a daze. Still standing.

“Huh? Nothing, just a random guy I met last night.”

“Is he bothering you?”

“At first, but someone helped me. Let's go!”

Henry was disturbed by Lilia's words, he wanted to ask more about the man earlier and also the man who had helped him, but Lilia was already in his car.

Harry had succeeded in apprehending the three gangs that had held him in captivity. He is a member of an underground gang that controls the southern area of ​​Greendwood City. Inside the dark and stuffy room, Harry stared at the three of them with a terrifying gaze.

“I still remember?”

The three people shook their heads, they had dealt with many people. It was clear they had a hard time remembering Harry.

“Five years old, didn't someone tell you to lock me and a girl in an empty house on the outskirts of town?”

The three people were stunned, they did get the order five years ago. They remembered very well that a man named Harry had reportedly burned to death in prison. When Angeline died.

“No way, you must be lying. He has died!”

Harry looked at them with a look full of scorn, “Then just think of me as Harry's ghost.”

“What do you want from us?”

“Tell me who ordered you that time?”

The three people stared at each other, it had been a very long time. They don't even remember the man's name.

Harry lost his temper, he then stuck a knife into the thigh of one of the three men as a form of warning. The man's scream of pain made the other two men tremble in fear.

“W-we don't know who that man is, he's a man you randomly met in the west who then offered us to do the mission for $10,000.”

Harry wiped the bloody knife on the cheek of the man next to the man he had just slashed his thigh with. He looked into the faces of the three men to make sure they weren't lying.

“What was the man giving you the orders like?”

“He's tall, big. Looks like he's just a bodyguard, but we remember he has a gash behind his ear.”

Harry clenched his fists, he already could Perpetrators Dean raises his point, and he guesses that the real culprit will not be stupid enough to meet the executor who carries out his mission in person. Harry could guess who it was, there were two that he suspected, namely Lucy's father and Rick who was Lucy's husband now.

Harry just wanted to collect evidence and witnesses that would ensnare the perpetrators. He can use dirty means to get back at them, but to clear his name, he needs evidence and witnesses that he was framed.

“Teach the three of them a lesson, but make sure that they stay alive!” Harry ordered his men before leaving.

The three men were frightened, they were sure that after this there would be a lot of torture waiting for them.

“Sir, please forgive you. We are not the real culprits," shouted one of the men. Harry who almost opened the door stopped his steps.
