Chapter 59

When Lucy came down for dinner, the trio had been seated drinking and chatting, they called her line severally, and when she didn't pick, they felt she was deep asleep. Olivia and Mike had a little nap after they made out, then they cleaned up, dressed, called Bruno and came down. She had thought Lucy was already there waiting, as the time scheduled was far gone. Lucy apologized for coming late, she claimed she was asleep and did not see her phone ring. As at the time she came down, the chef and the waiter were yet to bring their dinner. So she joined in them to drink while they wait. The waiter finally arrived with the meals, the aroma was so inviting that they paused their drinks. Quickly, the dish was served, it was this time a north African delicacy. The chef was from Morocco and when Olivia told him she wanted something they hadn't thirsted before, he promised to make something delicious for them. After serving the nice and delicious looking meal, he told them it was called 'couscous' and he served it with Chicken soup cooked with various vegetables and spices. After the meal, Olivia excused herself and Lucy and took Lucy for a little walk, she told her she was through with the paperwork, and that she had signed the necessary areas. Then she told her she wouldn't be headed back to Paris, as she would be joining her to the United States for the rest of the processes of procurement. She cautioned her to keep it to herself pending when she confirmed the date and  resolved whether to go with her husband. As they strolled, Lucy could not believe her ears. She had never been to the US, she had heard so much beautiful things about the country but she never knew she would stronger feet their. Olivia mentioned to her that she should try and reach out to Sam to confirm her readiness for the trip as he was the one who directed she go with her. Lucy took her phone immediately and called Sam, when he picked, he asked how she was doing and instructed she lias with Olivia to deliver on the contract. He told her he was very busy and that she should not be afraid or scared as she was in safe hands. He then informed her that some more money was loaded into her sober platinum card for her spending, even in the US. Lucy was so excited and thanked him for the opportunity, she promised to abide by whatever would make the deal a success. While she promised, she recalled that Mike, Olivias husband was a very big temptation that could mar the deal if she doesn't take care. The rest of the meal time was a general discussion, as they came back to see more drinks. Meanwhile all the time they were seated, Bruno was stealing glances on Lucy, Olivia had caught him once and smiled at him, she also whispered to him to go ahead if he liked her. Bruno felt it was not necessary to get involved because it would distract him. Even as he thought so, the sight of Lucy and her hot legs were irresistible. He was trying so hard not to look her way, but it was not working. The way she was sitting, displayed the huge contours in-between her legs, also her huge tits that almost bulged out of the bra that was exposed at the top side of the half top she was wearing, were inviting. He would look at the tits, then look at what was shown between her legs, and blood would rush speedily up his spine. When Lucy noticed he was stealing a glance, she looked down and saw her legs were a little bit open beyond the normal, having also caught him looking at her boobs, she decided to have fun, so she deliberately widened her legs, and placed it in the most erotic way like the porn stars posed online showing her lacy pant. Bruno shook his legs and adjusted himself to hide his already bulged dick. Mike was not left out with the sight, but he was being careful to avoid a negative reaction from Olivia. His love for Olivia was growing by the day, and all he was waiting for was her readiness for him to do the needful. Although he has come to know she was the daughter of Ben Hart, and knew what that meant if he married her, but that wasn't the motivating factor, he loved her for whom she was.

Mira and Brains were getting along well, but the recent events of security threats was not allowing them space to explore together the way they desired, Mira was now getting over the death of her driver. She had known the driver right from when she was a little girl, her father brought him home and introduced him as a new driver that would be taking them to school and wherever they were to go. He was looking handsome, neat and spoke fluently. He would always come out early, clean the car and made sure it was ready before they came out for school. While on the way, he would tell them a lot of stories, some informative, educative, instructive with moral lessons and some funny one that would made them laugh till they got to school, or if it was on their way home, they would laugh till they got into the house. She could remember the day he told them a funny story that made them laugh till tears came out of their eyes and they got home and told their mom who heard it and joined in the laughter. His importance and relevance continued even in her adulthood and in her career, she had got used to him that she asked her dad to release him to her as a personal driver instead of a family one, this is due to the fact that Olivia was not around, so he was mostly idle unless their mother had somewhere important to go. He was always helpful to her when she had some difficult task that she wouldn't know what or how to go about it. His words of wisdom always brought solution in such cases. She would miss him dearly. She wouldn't know if there would be anyone to replace him. She was now driven by security personnel that the dad had sent to protect her, though she understood, but she wasn't comfortable. She was all alone in her office, there were no much visitors, so she asked that she was given sometime alone. She needed time to think through a lot of things, eventhough her driver was dead and the burial was coming up soon as they didn't want to waste time, she had called the wife and booked her train ticket with that of her son to come over for the burial. The burial was to be in the cemetery in Paris; there was her relationship with Brains that needed to be given attention so that it would work, most especially now that the Dad was aware she had a man in her life and he had met her one on one. It was her first time of seeing her dad interact with a man in relationship with her in such a manner, her usual dad would have shown Brains attitude and possibly warn him not to break his daughters heart. He had seen his dad get to point that he told one of her sisters boyfriends that he would shoot him if he ever saw him close to Olivia, they had thought he was too harsh, not until they found out he had dug out a lot of rubbish about the guy secretly. He might be linient, when it had to do with her, but for Olivia, he wouldn't tolerate any nonsense. Sometimes she actually pity her sister and fear if she would get man fit enough for their dads consent.

Brains mind played back the events that happened, he was confused, he heard Mr Hart refer to her daughter a Mira, or he thought so, but he was yet to clearly explain why Chase refered to her in the same name. He felt there was something he was missing. He was still surprised to know that the lady he was with is of Hart family, that was a huge jackpot for his level. Who would have dreamt that he would one day be sitted with the almighty Ben Hart to have a chat, not to talk of drink. He had wanted to ask Mira that night, but he was more concerned with her mood than probing into her family. He was now fit, and his legs strong enough to move around. He decided that it was time he found out things himself, is plan was to identify close associates, friends and family members of Olivia, from there he would ask few questions. Although it doesn't mean much, but he felt the need to figure out whether the names were one and same person. He stood up, changed into a jean and a t-shirt, with a sneakers on his feet, he stopped outof the hotel room and came down to the lobby. He stood for awhile, not knowing where to go, nor start. What he never knew was that when Hart met him, and after their discussing, a message had gone round to lose associates, friends and family of Mira and the entire family, that enquries on the family or any member of the family shout not be welcomed nor responded to. So after so much thoughts on where to go, he left the lobby, went to the cab park, where he chose one and told the driver to take him to the hospital, where he was treated. He got into the front seat and the driver moved. While they were on the journey to the hospital, he began to imagine all kinds of things, eapecially as it  concerned Harts family, and his zeal to be part of that family increased. He told himself that eventhough he loved 'Olivia', another motivating factor had set in and he wouldn't mind do whatever it would take to make sure she remained his. The driver he chose this time around as able to use the shirt cuts and before he knew it they were already dining into the hospital gate. He alighted from the car and paid the driver. He then proceeded to the lobby, where the few staff that knew him, especially the nurse that attended to his stood. As soon as she saw him, she ran to him and greeted him, she gratefully thanked him for the money he gave her, Chase had given her some money while leaving the hospital. He did it through the director of the hospital as a sign of appreciation for their caring towards him all through his stay in the hospital.

Before Chase got to bed, he thought it wise to check his mail, when he opened his mail, there were many new mails waiting to be read, so he took his time and went through them one after the other. He got to one that was locked with a code, he knew that was a top secret and he only way to read the content of that mail was to first reach the director, he took his phone and called him, the director picked and laughed, he told Chase he had waited for his call during the day, and immediately called the code for him. Chase thanked him and dropped the call. He imputed the code and gained access to the mail. What he saw shocked him, it was a detailed evidence against Senator Crusoe, the attachments were many, that he felt it was better read in the office. The mail that followed directed that they verify the documents as authentic and make sure they got as many prospective but trustworthy witnesses as possible. When such message comes with that manner of urgency in tone, every smart agent knows that a big battle was about to take place. He called back the Director and asked if they would meet the next day in the office, the director hesitated for a while, then he accepted. He has wanted Chase to rest because he knew that the work that was awaiting them was a tedious but long one. He had decided t take some days off too, to enable him have a good rest, he would be leading from the front and in the field this time, so he would be handing over to his second to man the office. After they had agreed to meet the next day, they said goodbye to each other. Chase shut down his laptop and lay his head on the pillow thinking of what lay ahead of them in the case. He knew that any battle that had to do with the wealthy, powerful and mighty in the society would always leave a trace of immeasurable collateral damages. He had experienced it many times, and felt this one would not be an exception, rather it would be deadlier as what was on the table was also huge. The number one citizen of the country. Another side of it they made it worse was that the two major contenders were friends. While he was pondering over it, Alicia got a beep and looked at his phone, it was an email, so she opened her mail box on her phone, there was only one message, she was always reading her messages as gets beep once a message comes to her inbox. When she took a look at the mail, she saw it was a coded message, and needed some cor-dinates to get it open. She came out her room and went to Chase' door. She asked if he got any message, which  base told her yes, and asked if she received too. When he realized she truly got too, he passed the message code to her. Alicia rushed back to her room and brought back the mail. He proceeded to input the code and the message opened. She couldn't believe what she saw and the next thing she did was to call on Chase', what she didn't know was that Chase was standing at her door, watching her reaction. She stood up to walk down his room, that was when she saw him; Chase was smiling, he knew that Alicia had seen the huge attached documents, hence her reaction. He told her to calm down as the director was already aware. Alicias fear was that the secret investigation was going to be a tedious one. She then remembered they were having a brand-new car and a speed one at that, also from her experience in the job, such high profiled case, always come with a sophisticated weapons and safety equipments. Chase told her not to border going into details that they would be meeting with director the next day for detailed explanation.
