Investigation

"W-Why are you still in your boxers!!?".

"Hehehehehe…. What's wrong? Haven't you seen a man with one before?" Lucien smiled mischievously as he looked at the cold secretary trying hard to avoid his gaze.

"Ahem…if you choose to remain like that, then we should better head back" Chanel quickly recomposed herself as she prepared to leave.

"Alright!! Alright!! Let me dress up first" Lucien hurriedly said as he saw that she was really planning to go.

"Be quick Mr. Lucien. I don't have all day" Chanel said as she gave him back his privacy.

After a few minutes, Lucien's sounded out again.

"I'm done"

"I hope that you aren't lying to me again, Mr. Lucien".

"Don't worry. I am not that stupid to repeat the same joke twice".

Chanel turned back to see Lucien wearing the well-fitted black T-shirt and jeans.

She then proceeded to receive the uniform and badge from Lucien and placed them in one of the lockers that she had already opened beforehand.

She then closed it shut and Inputted what looked like some kind of password on the locker.

Grabbing her badge and putting it close to the surface of the locker as she had done with the huge metallic door, a red light shot out and scanned her badge before it turned green once more.

A silent click could be heard, thereby indicating that the locker has now been safely locked.

"They fit perfectly. How do even you know my size?" Lucien said as he looked at Chanel who had just finished securing his properties with an amused smile.

"Let's head back, Mr. Lucien" Chanel replied, paying no heed to his question.

But Lucien seeing that he couldn't tease Chanel anymore follow her as they reach reached the huge metallic door after they had walked up the stairs.

The door shut closed as they both exited.

Chanel proceeded to place her badge on the scanner, and then a loud clicking sounded out again.

"That should be all" Chanel said as they both headed to the elevator.

Pushing one of the upper buttons, they both stood quietly as the elevator ascended.

But this time, there wasn't any dull or depressing atmosphere among them as they were both busy thinking about something in their own heads.

"So what are you going to do next" Chanel asked, choosing to break the peaceful atmosphere.

"Isn't it obvious, that I will go back and do some private investigations of my own. Anybody that has the guts to try and mess with me, should better have the guts to stomach my punches after I am done them" Lucien responded with a blazing fierce glint in his eye, which was vastly different from his previous attitude.

"I hope that you aren't going to do anything rash, Mr. Lucien? Because if you are found to have broken any other rules, then I am afraid that it will be over for you" Chanel said seriously as she looked at Lucien.

"Don't worry about me, I know how to take care of myself, if not I wouldn't be here today, would I?" Lucien responded with a smirk.

'That is exactly what I am worried about' Chanel thought as she shook her head.

"Fine, do as you wish".

"Aren't you going to try and stop, or report me?" Lucien asked as he looked at Chanel.

"Unfortunately, I won't be doing any of that Mr. Lucien. Whatever life you have outside of the organization is yours and yours alone" Chanel said with a straight face as she arranged her eyeglass.

"I only hope that you don't do anything that will affect the organization?".

Lucien who has just heard what Chanel had said could only smile earnestly as he looked at the cold secretary.

"Be rest assured that I won't do anything crazy, and since out Miss. Chanel has personally begged me not to do anything that will bring harm to the organization, then you can rest assured that nothing of such will happen".

"Alright, I will hold unto your words Mr. Lucien" Chanel nodded in response as she said.

"And please don't forget to check your mailbox, the organization will send you their response after the investigation has been completed"

"But since there is a very slim chance of you getting out of this without being given any punishment, just pray that the type of punishment you will be given won't be difficult".

"The organization won't heavily punish one of their most valuable huntsmen, would they?" Lucien said with a stiff as he noticed Chanel shaking her head in pity "Would they?".

But unfortunately, he received no reply.

"Ding!!"Ding!!"

"Damn, I'm fucked".

The elevator finally came to a stop as Chanel stepped out and went her separate way.

Meanwhile, Lucien stayed as he watched the elevator door closing once more.

From the elevator, Lucien could see Alice's cubicle from here. But because of what had happened today, he could only give up on going to talk things out with her.

And besides, she didn't even want to listen to anything he had to say, so why waste each other's time?

What will be more productive now is for him to find the truth about what had happened to him yesterday night.

If he could find clues that will prove him not guilty of the crimes that had been laid against him, then his suspension will be lifted. And he will be able to fix the sour relationship between him and Alice.

And fortunately for him, he knows the first place to begin his investigation.

"Ding!!"Ding!!"

The elevator door opened as Lucien proceeded to walk out of the building only to be called out by a familiar voice.

"You don't look too good Lucien. How did your promotion go?" Lucas said with a smile.

Lucien knowing who it was without even turning his head to check could only sigh as he said.

"I was suspended".

Lucas's eyes widened in surprise as he said.

"H-How? How could such a thing happen?".
