Chapter 48

On their way back to the office, Leo was explaining what had happened to the men who were tailing them.

When they found out that Leo had caught them, they tried to drive off but Leo was too fast to stop them.

Leo tried to open the door but they refused, so he kicked and smashed the window.

He tried to get information from them but they were too fast, they bite on a substance that looks like medicine that was already in their mouth, and they died immediately with foam in their mouth.

He managed to check their phones and gadgets but everything on it had been deleted and wiped away, so he took the gadgets with him. He will go retrieve the information on them later and maybe get their fingerprints.

Addy was so disappointed but was sure that they were after Lilian, because of her apartment incident Eva mentioned to him.

He asked Leo if there are any updates on the person that delivered the parcel to Judi's house.

Leo explained to him the latest update and they decided they will go to the prison location after work.

Addy and Leo went to the prison location after work, as usual, Ken was waiting outside to greet them.

They all went to the control room together. Ken explained the latest situation with the people that were brought in.

"So what did the guy say? Who ordered him?" Addy asked

"It's bizarre, but it seems he has amnesia, he can't remember anything, not even his own name" Ken replied

"What" Leo shouted with frustration

"I was the one who told him his name" Ken replied

"That means he's either working with the people we encountered this afternoon or they only used him," Leo said to Addy

"What happened this afternoon?" Ken asked curiously

"We caught two guys tailing us when we went for lunch with Eva and Lilian and they killed themselves before I could get any information, so I took their gadgets before calling the police" Leo explained what happened in the afternoon

"Wait you went out with Lilian...are you guys back together? Is she not angry with you?"

"Did you even hear what I said, we went for lunch with Eva and...."

"Eva is not important, you only took her because you wanted to be with Lilian"

Addy's face changed when he heard Ken say Eva isn't important

"Who told you she isn't important?" Addy growled at Ken

"Huh..." Ken was shocked to see Addy react that way

"I was trying to tell you that Eva is the big boss woman and Lilian is her secretary, but because you are so stupid to listen you just jump to conclusions" Leo whispered

"Ah, that makes sense not, because I know the big boss wouldn't worry himself if it wasn't for someone important to him"

"Guys I can hear you"

"But on a serious note, I think we are dealing with a bigger issue, if we cannot get any information. It seems the people in charge know how to cover their tracks well" Ken sighed

"We need to find every information about them before they try something else" Leo replied Ken as he handed him the sealed gadgets.

"Find out who they are and the information that was deleted" Leo continued

"Let's go" Addy spoke since there's no solid information for now.

"Alright boss. Take care stupid"

"Don't forget I'm the Boss here, even if you are my elder brother, I can..."

"What can you do STUPID, have you forgotten I taught you STUPID"

"Who are you to call me stupid, STUPID"

"Do you want me to teach you some manners stupid"

"So now, you want to teach me manners. Come at me, you IDIOT"

"How dare you call me, your elder brother IDIOT"

"Can you two stop bickering like teenagers" Addy was fed up with them

"He started it" Ken whimpered

"Did not"

"Did too"

"OMG, can you two just get out of my way"

They left to go home.

Meanwhile, Eva told Lilian what had happened in her office with Jack on their way back home.

When they got home, they were greeted by Rosie and other staffs. After dinner, everyone went to their respective rooms.

Eva had a bubble bath soak because she has been feeling her muscle ache and coupled with the stress she has been dealing with lately. Unknowingly, she fell asleep in the bath and suddenly woke up. She got out of the bath and instantly felt cold

'Oops I must have dozed off for long, the water has turned cold' she mumbled to herself while drying her hair hoping not to catch cold. She checked her phone, to see what time it is and how long she was in the bath, she realised the time is 1:30 am, but what caught her attention, was the amount of missed calls she had from Addy.

She decided to try calling him, even though she was sure he would have slept already.

Just after the first ring

"Do you know how worried I was? Why didn't you pick up your phone? I was about to drive down to yours to see if you are alright" Addy spoke with a worried and concerned voice.

"Don't worry, I wasn't kidnapped or anything, I had a bubble bath and because I was so tired I dozed off. How can you call me twenty times in a row?"

"Was it up to that? Didn't know, I was so worried something bad had happened"

He was so worried because he doesn't know if there are other people tailing them, but he didn't want her to know because she would be worried.

"Don't worry nothing bad can happen to me"

"How long were you in the bath for?"

"Ermm, about three hours. I must have been so tired"

"Hope you won't catch a cold?"

"Nah, I should be fine" she as she finished her sentence, she made a big sneeze

"You've caught a cold, make sure you wrap yourself up tight tonight"

"Ok will do thanks"

"I wanted to ask you a question in the afternoon but I couldn't because others were there" Addy suddenly changed the topic

"What is it you want to ask me, go ahead"

"I have an event next weekend, and I would love it if you can be my date"

"Oh sorry, unfortunately, I also have an event that same weekend, I'm sorry"

"What type of event is it? Mine is the president daughter's wedding"

"Same, I'm also invited" She giggled

"That settles it then, we will be going together as a date" He sounded excited

"No worries, I will be expecting you"

"Ok... let me leave you to sleep... sweet dreams"

"You too"

She hanged up the call.
