something fishy

************

**************

Things could be said to be working fine for the both as they continued working side by side, dealing with office works, attending lunch, parties and shareholder meetings together, but Williams still remained irksome. It was also a good thing everyone in the company already signed a contract against gossips going around the company, the amount to be paid for breach of contract is worth millions of dollars which is unaffordable plus the punishment to be received by them . Alicia still had hard time figuring out on how his mind works, he wouldn't open up, he wanted everything to be official, more like he doesn't trust anyone. Sometimes he can be congenial and the next moment he is unfriendly.

Firstly Williams wanted Alicia to be his personal assistant because he felt guilty, he also didn't want to put her in a difficult situation, knowing how well things are really unpleasant and dangerous around him, that was why he remained professional with her. He didn't want to pull her into his mess that was why Alicia was warned not to get too involved with him.

He didn't want to give her any false hope knowing how bad things might end yet, he still wanted to keep her by his side.

Alicia on the other hand agreed to be his personal assistant, instead of lazing her as* on the couch, she also wanted to pay back Stella in a way or the other for being always there for her, she knew she owed Stella alot and she also owed Williams alot for saving her. It was just the best way she could pay off her debt, it was like just a win win situation for her. 

Since Williams already roughly ran through her background. He knew she would accept the proposal, he just wanted to threaten her using the law to make her submit to him.

Alicia already made friends with almost every one in the company, except Sophia and some other jealous girls who just abhor her for no reason. She couldn't get hold of why they hate her. Could it be because she was more closer to Raymond than any one else?, but she chose to disregard them no matter what they do.

She most times always have lunch with Noah and Annie whenever willaims isn't around or too busy. The both of them could also be considered as her best friend.

Williams could be seen standing by the window side of his office, smoking. He was puffing the smoke leisurely, enjoying the view of the busy road of the city through the laminated glasses. He was wearing a black shirt which sleeves were neatly rolled up, leaving his first two button undone, revealing his sturdy muscular chest and he also wore a black pant. His hair was roughly messed up making him more handsome and relaxed while his back view was emitting a lonely vibe.

Not long after, Lucas walked in disrupting his peaceful moment. He's been working underground together with Williams for a very long now, he was his most trusted ally.

He stood not too far from him afraid he might be disturbing the tranquil moment, he knew how rare it was to see his boss this relaxed. 

Lucas had a rare talent of being a very accurate shooter and he was proficient in doing things. He does them neatly and swiftly leaving no trace. He was saved by Williams when he was betrayed by his confederate, and if not of Williams, he would have been killed a long time, ever since then he has been working side by side with Williams and was also able to gain his trust by proving his loyalty through several ways Williams used in testing him

******* after few minutes 

"Speak" Williams ordered coldly, remaining unmoved. He knew things were not going too well for Lucas.

"Sir, the man still refuses to speak after all the slow torture. We already looked into his background and we discovered he doesn't have any family which means he has nothing to lose. I am afraid since we can't get any useful information from him, if he get killed now, he would be more than happy"

" And he also said he will only speak to you" Lucas said slightly trembling.

Williams pinched his forehead showing how displeased he was about the news.

"Look into the cctv camera. I want to know every details about him, not leaving any single piece behind. Ask more information about him from his neighbourhood and if they also noticed anything strange about him" he ordered in a bossy manner. 

He knew things weren't as easy and as simple as he viewed it, he needed to look into this matter himself, he could smell something strange.

"Yes sir I will do that now. Also about young miss" 

Lucas continued after a very short pause.

"She is the daughter of Mr Anderson Jones, the C.E.O of J.J company. She is his hidden daughter which most people don't know about aside family members and she rarely appear as a public figure. She was sent out by her father of recent, after what seems like conspiracy from her junior (step)sister. And her engagement was unexpectedly called off by her ex fiance....." Lucas was caught off by Williams facial look, obviously he wasn't interested.

"Sir, her mother was a very famous singer who was strangely rumored to be dead but is still alive, she also lost her voice and she has mental issues" he added.

After a short pause, which felt like forever to lucas, making the surrounding more intense, he knew williams was trying to digest the news well. After he was done analysing things, he finally moved from where he was standing. He grabbed his key and tossed it to lucas.

"Let's go"
