"Eva, what's the meaning of this? Weren't you being held captive?" Gaby asked, ignoring Scott and staring sharply at Eva. She put down the two black suitcases she was carrying."Well, as you can see, I'm not being held captive. I'm not even tied up at all, am I?" Eva replied, showing her hands, which she was free to move as she pleased.Gaby snorted in annoyance, not happy with Eva's answer."You're playing us?" she asked loudly. "Just because you're the Boss's favorite, doesn't mean you can do whatever you want, okay! You spoiled brat!""Just because you have a 'special relationship' with the Boss, doesn't mean you can call me a spoiled brat, okay! You bitch!" Eva countered."Watch your foul mouth, okay! We came all this way to bring you home.""I can go home myself. You don't need to bother coming here.""You!""What? Wanna fight?"Their interaction heated up quickly, a reflection of how bad their relationship had been all this time, even though they were in the same agency.To stop
Keith was about to lunge forward when suddenly Scott disappeared from his sight. He froze. His eyeballs moved back and forth, but he still couldn't find Scott."Looking for me?"Keith heard the voice very clearly, accompanied by a breath of air behind his ear.His eyes widened. He turned his body while releasing a hard punch, hoping his punch would hit Scott who was behind him. But...Hap!Scott grabbed Keith's hand without appearing to use much force. He stood his ground, giving Keith a condescending look."Come on, Boss. You're not serious at all," Scott mocked, showing a little of his teeth.Keith's eyes widened. He pulled his hand away from Scott's grasp and turned his body in the opposite direction, directing more force as he tried to kick Scott in the head.Hap!Again, Scott blocked Keith's attack with one hand, still with a gesture that showed he was barely using any force at all.Keith was confused by Scott's two identical responses to his attacks. And before he could launch a
Daniel's family residence, that afternoon...Daniel, the head of the family, was in his office, busy checking documents for an important meeting with potential investors tomorrow.Knock! Knock!Someone knocked on the door from outside."Who is it?" Daniel asked."Dad, it's me," the knocker replied.Daniel recognized the voice as his eldest son, Lucas. He raised his face and said, "Come in."The door opened. Lucas entered. He immediately approached Lucas, took an empty chair and sat down."What's wrong? Why are you so glum?" Daniel asked."Dad, I smell something bad," Lucas said.Daniel furrowed his brow. "What do you mean? About what?" he asked.Lucas took out his phone, opened the M-banking app and checked the day's transactions, then showed it to Daniel.Daniel took the phone, checking what appeared on the screen. It showed a record of an incoming transaction of $100 million, but the sender was unclear."What is this?" Daniel asked."That's Keith. He transferred back the money we tr
"Ouch!""You okay?"Scott grabbed the woman’s hand, steadying her so she wouldn’t fall. She clung tightly to his shoulder, her boobs pressing against his back.“What’s going on? What happened?” the woman asked, her voice tinged with panic.“I’m not sure. Maybe a technical glitch,” Scott replied.“Does this happen often here?”“I don’t know. But it shouldn’t take long.”“You sure?”“I hope so.”Scott could still feel the woman’s boobs against his back, creating an awkward sensation. On one hand, he was uncomfortable, remembering he was a married man. On the other, his body was beginning to react.“Oh, I think I twisted my ankle,” the woman said.Scott turned, but he couldn’t see her in the complete darkness of the elevator.“Can you move to my right, against the wall?” he asked.“I think so. Why?”“Just do it. Slowly,” Scott instructed.She followed his directions, her breath catching as she moved, indicating she was feeling some discomfort in her leg.“All set?” Scott asked.“All set,
Thomas sat on the balcony of his mansion in the heart of Mildenbrough. He had just spoken to Clara on the phone. Now he put his phone on the round glass table next to him."Women are a nuisance. They're the same everywhere," he said.What he said was related to his conversation with Clara earlier, especially about his promise to Clara to release an S-class prisoner from Iron Stone prison. That was the condition Clara gave so that the secret agent would be willing to help him frame Scott."Just do your job until it's finished, Bitch. I'll take care of the rest," Thomas said, picking up a glass of whiskey and taking a sip.Thomas and Clara were old friends. They had also had a physical relationship for a few months, before Clara's husband at the time sniffed it out and they broke up.This was the man Clara asked to be released, even though he was serving a prison sentence for a series of murders he committed over a ten-year period, including when he was already Clara's husband.The fact
Scott squinted, looking at Clara intently. Was this woman really serious about what she was saying, or was she just bluffing?"I don't know what you're thinking right now, but if you think you can control me, you're wrong. You better stop acting up before I lose my mind," Scott said.Was Clara intimidated? Not at all. She even smiled and raised her left hand. In her left hand was a small black electronic device with a large round button on it."I could detonate the bomb now. Just click and... boom. You sure you want to see your fancy car destroyed?" Clara said.Scott squinted his eyes again, this time while tilting his head slightly.'This woman is really looking for trouble. But if what she said is true, Luisa is very likely to be affected. I can't take the risk,' he thought.So Scott turned his body so that he was facing Clara again. Clara smiled. She lowered her left hand again."Get in," she said, pressing a button on the car dashboard, and the left front door opened.Scott sighed
Scott was shocked by what Clara did. He was so surprised that he was silent for a fraction of a second. Only then did he push Clara's body away and release her grip.Unfortunately, Scott was too late. Luisa quickly left, returning to Scott's black McLaren."Luisa," Scott muttered, looking at his wife anxiously.Then he looked at Clara again, finding the woman smiling slyly."I told you she could wait," she said.Scott's blood boiled. His face flushed red, and he snorted. If Clara wasn't a woman, he would have punched her and knocked her teeth out right now.So what did Scott do?He moved away from Clara's body, opened the car door, and got out.Scott didn't bother closing the car door again. He ran towards his car.Upon reaching his car, Scott found that Luisa had locked all the doors. Behind the dark window, Scott saw his wife looking at him angrily."Open the door, Luisa. You're misunderstanding. What just happened wasn't what you thought," Scott said, placing his hand on the window
Scott, of course, heard clearly what Mr. Lombard said. But, it was so shocking that his brain automatically rejected it."Right now, people on the internet are busy responding to a video that's circulating. In the video, you're seen in a car, seemingly trying to force a woman to have sex with you," Mr. Lombard said.Scott's eyes widened. He snorted."Are you sure the person in the video is me, Mr. Lombard?" Scott asked."At first, I doubted it, Mr. Scott. But after watching the video several times, I can't deny that the man's face and physique remind me of you. Even if that man isn't you, you two are very identical. That's the impression I got," Lombard explained.Scott took a deep breath. He tried to control his heartbeat that was starting to race."I suspect the video is edited, Mr. Scott. I believe you wouldn't do something like that," Lombard quickly asserted his bias.Scott's heartbeat had returned to normal. Slowly, he unclenched his fist."Right now, that video is widely spread
