As Preston had promised, today he would confirm the news that had spread. Preston held a question-and-answer session with the media in front of the Haw & Co. office. All the employees, officers, and other staff at the company were busy helping Preston prepare for the interview."Today we are all focused on this interview. Also, we will be honoring the memory of the late Sir Theodore Hawthorne." Preston said solemnly."Yes, Mr. Preston." All the staff replied at the same time."Okay, now we're ready at our positions."All the employees moved to their respective posts, while Preston set up in front of the podium. Preston's men followed him and set up around him, anticipating anarchy from the media.Preston spent the night sleepless, preparing for all the possible questions that would be asked of him. He also prepared the most convincing answers to ensure no one would find out about Theodore again.Preston's hands shook as he held the paper in front of him. "Mr. Preston, are you okay?""
"I want to see Theodore’s grave." Alex said it with a sharp gaze.Preston, who heard this, immediately felt panic and fear. However, Preston had to overcome this. Preston had to look calm and remain convincing, especially in front of someone like Alex."What for? Aren't you satisfied that you've made him die?" Preston got carried away with his emotions and brought tears to his eyes.Preston had to be able to look sad and emotional in front of Alex. Preston had to convince Alex not to be suspicious.Alex stepped forward and smirked. "No need for so much drama; just show me where Theodore’s grave is.""I won't show you." Preston brought his face closer before whispering, “Murderer."Preston took a step back, and they stared at each other. Alex didn't seem to mind at all when Preston said he was a murderer. Alex just stayed silent and continued to show an annoying smile."If you don't show it, then everything you say in front of the media is a lie. I will look for Theodore's whereabouts,
"You go and find someone to help open this tomb." Preston gave orders to his two men.Preston could no longer walk backwards and could only accept the fact that all his plans with Theodore would soon be exposed."Yes, Mr."Preston's two men immediately walked away to find someone who could help him. Preston also decided to leave Alex alone and find a safe place. Preston was anxious to contact Theodore at this critical time."Sir, please pick up my phone." Preston muttered to himself, looked around, and tried to contact Theodore.However, again, Theodore did not pick up. Preston tried three times before he gave up and turned off his cell phone. Preston returned to the cemetery and then looked at Alex, who was still crouched down, waiting for the others to arrive."Where are they? What took you so long?" Alex grumbled and stood up while stretching his body.Preston didn't know where they had gone either and tried to look back. Preston looked in the direction the graveyard guard's house
Preston fell asleep at his desk with a mess of papers. Preston didn't know what time it was, but it must have been midday because the sunlight was already penetrating into the room."Jeez, why did I have to fall asleep?" Preston was annoyed with himself.Preston quickly stacked all the scattered papers together and walked out of his study. Preston cleaned up and changed before going out to the front yard."Good morning, Mr. Preston." Preston's men were ready with their cars at the front door."We'll go to the hospital first before going to the office." Preston told him quickly. "There's something I need to take care of.""Yes, Mr." Preston's men opened the car door and closed it again.Preston's car drove straight to the hospital, where Theodore had been treated. Preston jumped out of the car as he arrived in front of the hospital lobby. Preston went to the reception desk."I'd like to see the doctor who treated Sir Theodore Hawthorne, now.""One moment, I'll check his schedule first.
"Alex is here." The last sentence kept running through Preston's head.Preston immediately grabbed his outerwear and wrapped his body in it. Preston ran out of the house and got his car. No one knew Preston was out that early except the security guard, who woke up to Preston's car horn, asking to open the fence.Preston sped off at full speed and headed for where the Hawthorne family's helicopter was kept. Preston arrived and woke up the person in charge of the helicopter."Take me to the Hawthorne building."The sleeping pilot was forced to wake up. He washed his face and searched for his clothes and gear before warming up the helicopter's engine. "Why are you leaving so early?""There's something important going on, so I need to get there." Preston couldn't go into detail because it was confidential."Sorry."The pilot climbed into the helicopter, and Preston followed. The building opened automatically and allowed the helicopter to begin taxiing. Preston, who was still sleepy, tried
Theodore and Preston eventually made it back safely. They returned to their country and left Alex behind. Theodore sent his messenger to handle Alex there."Sir, how is this?" Preston was confused, as they were about to get off the tarmac."What's the matter?" Theodore asked with an innocent face."How do we tell the press when everyone already believes that you..." Preston's sentence trailed off, but of course it was understood by Theodore. Theodore didn't seem too bothered to think about it. Theodore just smiled a little before explaining his plan to Preston."We'll go live to clarify everything.""Are you sure? Isn't it too shocking?" Preston asked cautiously."Of course, but there's no other choice."Sooner or later, everyone would find out about this too. Preston did not reject Theodore's idea and agreed. Preston then just sat back and waited for the vehicle to land."When are we going to do this, sir?" Preston asked as he disembarked from their air vehicle."As soon as possible.
Theodore locked eyes with the woman and observed the expressions she gave. Theodore could see her face, surprised, sad, disappointed, and angry."What are you doing here?" asked Theodore and the woman simultaneously.The woman who did the crazy thing of intercepting Theodore's car was none other than Samantha. That's right, Samantha felt herself going crazy when she found out that Theodore was alive and back in town. Samantha didn't care; she started looking for Theodore's whereabouts and wanted to talk to him. So Samantha came to this point."Are you okay?" Theodore asked in a soft tone when he realized Samantha was just silent and staring at him.Suddenly, Samantha hugged and cried loudly in Theodore's arms. Theodore, who felt the hug, was surprised. Theodore never knew Samantha felt this sad when he saw her again.Theodore's hand hesitated to touch Samantha's back and return her hug. So, Theodore just stood still and let Samantha vent her emotions."Why are you doing this?""Are yo
Samantha and Theodore did not let go of each other's embrace. Both of them were immersed in deep emotions and feelings. Their lips kept coming together, like they didn't want to let go.Theodore's hands started to get naughty by touching Samantha's back and going down to her lower body. Samantha doesn't seem to mind it and enjoys it. However, Theodore realized that he couldn't just defile her.Theodore removed himself from Samantha and looked at her with a smile. "Are you hungry yet?"Samantha, who was still trying to breathe, gave a satisfied smile. "Hm."Samantha nodded her head, and Theodore led her to the dining table. The two of them moved all the food onto the table and started eating. Today's dinner menu was pasta, meat, salad, and also a bottle of wine."Is it good?" asked Theodore to make sure that he didn't order the wrong menu."Hm, just to my taste." Samantha complimented.Samantha ate the meat, salad, and pasta with gusto. It was noticeable that Samantha had not eaten for
