Selena pushed Lorenzo's chest lightly and told him to stop kissing her. Selena sucked in the air around her greedily as she wiped the lipstick off Lorenzo's lips. Seeing that red lipstick made Selena blush and think about dirty things in her head.

"You want it too honey?"

"I think I want it too. But I will endure it. How about Parker? Looks like you hit him too hard. He hasn't woken up since."

"Maybe I was too angry because he was groping your body. Soon he would wake up. Let's just wait. He couldn't have passed out forever."

“So about this case...” Selena cleared her throat awkwardly. She shifted her ass from Lorenzo's lap onto the sofa next to him.

“Looks like Parker is working with a government official. He almost did his business seamlessly.”

"I think so too. There are some people who commit fraud to sabotage the administration of President John Marset. People who hate Marset wreak havoc by teaming up with people like Parker. They are trying to undermine what Marset is building for this country. My dad said it's all interconnected. It may even be that the bureau itself is actually being infiltrated. Gunnar is currently investigating it."

Selena's face suddenly turned sad. Memories of his father crept into her mind and made her chest constrict with sadness.

“Will John Marset end up like my father? Cruelly murdered?”

“Ssshh… John Marset will be fine. We will stop all this crime. You just have to believe that we are great agents and we will catch Parker along with his syndicate.”

The look on Lorenzo's face showed a very thick seriousness. Selena is touched by Lorenzo's efforts to calm her down. She just didn't want what happened to her father to happen again to John Marset. In the past, her father was suddenly murdered very viciously by a group of mysterious men who were very terrible.

“Jesse McLean, I suspect him.”

Selena suddenly jumped off the couch and hurriedly grabbed her bag to find her cell phone. Yesterday while she was taking a photo shoot, she accidentally saw Jesse McLean contacting someone secretly in a deserted dressing room. Several times Jesse McLean mentioned the name of the organization she suspected was the mastermind behind her father's death. But unfortunately she has not been able to find solid evidence regarding Jesse McLean's involvement in the organization because from what she heard she could not bring to court to sue Jesse McLean for the death of her father. And everything is still speculation. She hadn't really gotten any concrete evidence of Jesse's involvement.

“Quit the agency and stop all your modeling activities. You can't be a model forever. You're an agent."

"I know. But I hide behind Isabella Crush's glamorous and sexy face. So far my job is safe because everyone knows me as Isabella Crush. I couldn't just leave Jesse McLean's agency when I was at the top of my career."

Lorenzo snorted. He had guessed that Selena would never leave the agency until she got the name behind her father's death. Selena seems to have turned that desire into an obsession. Lately she has been getting more and more excited to work on the cases given to her because she feels she is getting closer to the mastermind behind her father's death. But it actually C

“You know, I'm sick of being Felix Drooler. People refer to him as an idiot handsome man. You really are cruel for giving me the role of Felix, your idiotic assistant. I was always targeted by the women in the cafeteria at lunchtime. They teased me all the way. Someone even pulled my shirt collar and kissed me on the lips right in front of the food buffet. That's really crazy!”

"Oh honey, I'm sorry."

Selena gave Lorenzo a soft kiss on the cheek and giggled softly at the scornful expression on Lorenzo's face. He knew Lorenzo was in a lot of pain playing Felix Drooler. But that's the only role that Lorenzo can play so that his true figure is not known to anyone. By becoming Felix Droolir, people will never think that he is a dangerous and deadly FBI agent. Lorenzo is also free to move anywhere to collect evidence of Jesse McLean's crime.

“Last week you made me have to go into the women's bathroom. I've sacrificed so far to help you find the mastermind behind your father's death. So I hope you don't take any rash actions that will ruin our plans. Stay on your path."

"I will. Don't worry. But if you really don't want to play Felix Drooler anymore, let me recruit Austin to help me. He's been offering himself all along."

“No one is suitable to be your assistant other than me, Selena. Don't even think about replacing me with another one."

Lorenzo grabbed Selena by the neck and sucked her lips hard. Selena chuckled inside Lorenzo's mouth who was so hungry he wanted to punish her.

"So does that mean you're still Felix Drooler?"

"To take care of you."

"Oh, you're so sweet, Lorenzo."

Selena gave him a quick peck on the lips then got up from the couch and moved over to the bed to check on Parker. He was still unconscious, or maybe he was asleep.

Selena was thinking about waking Parker right now, but suddenly there was a loud knock on her suite door from outside.

Dukk dukk dukk dukk!

"I think they're coming. Parker's men."

Lorenzo rose from his seat warily. He slid the gun to his waist, then motioned for Selena to follow him.

"This is the reason the agents failed."

Suddenly Lorenzo ran over to the bed and felt all of Parker's clothes. He ignored the pounding on the door, which was getting louder and more brutal. Parker's men started screaming loudly and threatening to break down the suite door if Parker didn't open the door.

"Lorenzo, they're going to break the door."

"Easy Selena. You just make yourself look like a woman who just had all-out love. Make yourself a mess."

Selena snorted. She didn't even have to pretend to make a mess of herself because her whole appearance was now a complete mess because of Lorenzo.

"You found something?" Selena asked while ruffling her hair in the mirror. She pushed one of the straps of her dress up to her arm, then she wiped the lipstick off her lips haphazardly to make people think she really just made love to their boss.

“He has a tracking chip on the collar of his shirt. It is very small and shaped like a button. Nobody realized it was a chip."

Lorenzo stood in the light and watched the chip carefully. The shape is very similar to buttons. There was a red dot flickering on its surface. It was probably a radar that made Parker's position always monitored by his men. Its small and button-like shape makes the agents who try to trap it will not realize that it is a tracking chip. He's going to take the chip to the bureau's lab to investigate.

"I'm ready. What is your plan?" Selena asked in the mirror.

Lorenzo judged Selena's appearance at a glance. He already looked a mess and one would surely speculate that he just made love. But if the dress was still attached to her body, it would leave a slight opening for doubt. So she should have taken the dress off.

"Take off your dress. Now."

Lorenzo suddenly took off his white shirt and handed it to Selena. The man impatiently pushed Selena to change in the walk-in closet in the corner of the room.

"Hurry up and put on my shirt and act like you just had a hot romance with Parker."

Even though she was lazy, Selena still obeyed Lorenzo's orders and replaced her red dress with Lorenzo's white shirt that looked too big on her body. He put on stockings and hid the gun in his thigh. Luckily Lorenzo's shirt was long enough to almost reach his knees.

"Well, I'm ready. Make sure Parker stays asleep while his men are here,” Selena whispered before striding wide toward the main door.

Dukk dukk dukk dukk

"Mr. Parker, are you all right?”

The banging sound got louder and louder and made Selena even more angry. He felt as if he wanted to smack anyone in the face who had interfered with his and Lorenzo's plans today.

"Yeah, wait a minute," Selena shouted angrily. She acted like a bitch who had just been bullied while making love to her boyfriend.

Selena pretended to poke her head through the narrow slit she made in the side of the door. She pretended to blush as Parker's men stared at her intensely from head to toe. From the expression on his face, Selena was sure that the man understood what had just happened to her. At least the man wasn't someone completely innocent.

“Why are you banging on the door so hard? You're disturbing us."

"Sorry. We just want to make sure Mr Parker is doing well. We've just seen from the monitor that Mr Parker's temperature has dropped. Are you sure that Mr. Parker is all right?” The man looked at Selena suspiciously.

“The temperature in the room is very cold. Naturally, Parker's temperature dropped. Look, you guys must have made love, and you know how upset you feel when you suddenly get interrupted in the middle of a game."

Parker's men looked at each other. They smiled strangely, laughing at Selena's funny words.

“That's exactly what's happening right now, gentlemen. So please, give us some time to make love. Maybe an hour. Or I'll try to make it faster than an hour."

"Oh okay. Sorry for disturbing you. Have a good time."

The four burly men backed away and walked away from the suite that was occupied by Selena. He then slammed the door shut, pretending to slam the door so Parker's stupid men thought he was really pissed off and angry.

"They're gone."

"Parker just woke up, we need to quickly interrogate him."

"Give me a minute to change."

Selena changed her clothes quickly then handed the white shirt to Lorezo. He then walked into the suite, saw Parker, who was staring at him furiously, making brutal moves to try to untie the ropes around his hands and feet. But he failed.

“Stop moving if you don't want your hands and feet to get scratched. You don't remember your beautiful skin getting injured do you?” Selena smiled sweetly, looking at Parker amused by the playful look of horror and rage on her face.

"You damn bitch. Who are you really?”

“I already told you earlier. In the ballroom. You forgot, hmm?”

Selena crossed her right leg over her left. He watched Parker intensely, then he felt a roar of anger that maybe Parker had been involved in the murder of his father years ago. Parker's father might be involved. They are both well known as corrupt people. A good cop like his father would always make people like them nervous. And they would not hesitate to viciously kill his father to protect their precious business.

“What have you done, Parker? How long have you been cheating on your country?”

Parker snorted in disgust with Selena and immediately thrashed on the bed to be released from the ropes that bound his legs and arms.

“Ssshhhh, don't move too much, or you'll hurt your wrist.”

Selena caressed Parker's face gently and made Parker inching further away from Selena's caress. Whereas a few hours ago he really liked to feel his body and feel the caress of his hands on his face.

"What did you get from him?"

"He struggled and didn't cooperate to answer my questions."

Suddenly Lorenzo emerged from the living room neatly dressed and a fresh face. His brows furrowed into a frown. He was sick of seeing Parker and wanted to punch him in the face.

“Answer our questions or it will blow your head right now.”

Parker's eyes widened in horror as he saw Lorenzo pull a gun from his waist and aim the muzzle of the gun at his head.

"Who are you guys? What's your business with me?"

“We want to know who you are doing business with. You're proven to be doing illegal business with your cars. You smuggled the cars out of the country secretly to evade taxes.”

Parker swallowed hard and seemed reluctant to answer. The man just kept on thrashing in place while groaning in pain because of his injured hands.

"It's useless. You won't be able to untie that knot unless I do it."

"Let me go! I never sold those cars overseas without paying taxes. They must be wrong and have slandered me, I can't do petty things like that," Parker shouted angrily.

Selena and Lorenzo looked at each other, they knew for a fact that Parker was lying.

“Ohh, so you don't do petty things like that huh? Hmm, interesting. Then who typed this message and made a call with the expedition officer at the port?” Selena asked calmly, showing Parker's black cell phone which was now in his hand.

Parker's face paled. His lips parted, then closed quickly and he couldn't say anything but stare at Selena with a terrified look of horror. The evidence on his cell phone is clearly undeniable. He had been so stupid as to leave a digital imprint on his cell phone. If the two men who held him captive reported him to the police, he would certainly be imprisoned and his hard-earned business would go bankrupt again as it was two years ago.

"Please don't report me to the police. I will give you whatever you want. You want money, a house, or do you want beautiful women? I can give it to you.” Parker exclaimed frantically.

Selena grew angry at Parker for his attempts to bribe her and Lorenzo. Especially since he had offered Lorenzo a gift of a beautiful woman. The man was really looking to die.

“You dare bribe us? Your punishment will only increase if you do that.” Lorenzo growled in annoyance.

He felt like hitting the man and throwing him into the prosecutor's office for immediate trial. But he still needed the man's name for the people involved in his dirty business.

“Who are the people involved in your dirty business? Aren't those ministers also involved?” Selena called, her face looks cold and fierce.

Parker gulped nervously. The woman he had danced with in the ballroom with the woman currently standing towering above him looked completely different. She was really stupid for being deceived by her pretty face.

“N-no. No ministers or people in John Marset's government got involved in my dirty business, I did it all myself."

Brakk

Lorenzo hit the headboard over Parker's head furiously. It was clear his lie had been exposed. She shouldn't have tried to lie in front of him and kept the names he'd worked with all along.

“Don't try to lie to us or your head will explode after this.

Crack

Lorenzo quickly drew the flintlock of his pistol and pressed the cold tip against Parker's right temple.

"D-don't kill me. Please. I-I'll give you the names you want. P-please keep that thing out of my head.”

Lorenzo kept the thing against Parker's right temple and he didn't care that Parker was frightened beneath it.

"The sooner you give us names, then this thing won't explode in your head."

Parker timidly begins to recount the beginning of his mysterious business revival. It should have been impossible from the start because the business had completely gone bankrupt and there was nothing left of the business. Even the investors were not interested in investing their shares in the company owned by his late father because the condition of the company was really bad. But suddenly the company was victorious again and reaping more success by the day. And since a year ago the bureau started sniffing out irregularities in Parker's business. The FBI suspects that Parker is getting injections of funds from corrupt people or he has a dirty business that he is running secretly to support his collapsing business.

“Actually I don't know who invested that much money in my father's company. From the start, it was impossible for my father's company to get back on its feet, but suddenly Minister Jack Arthur came and offered to cooperate. Because at that time I was really frustrated, I finally accepted the offer given by the minister Jack Arthur without asking about the source of the funds. Then the next morning Jack Arthur sent an account book containing twenty-five billion dollars. Although I don't believe him, but I didn't ask Jack Arthur further about the money, I already owe him enough and I don't want to ruin my good relationship with him just because of the source of the money. So that's all I know. Please let me go." Parker pleaded with a pitiful face.

Selena then took her cellphone and told her partner to block the expedition ship which contained Parker's illegal cars.

"Your ship is currently being chased by the marine patrol team, soon your business will be destroyed." said Selena coldly.

Parker immediately closed his eyes in frustration and didn't seem intent on commenting. Ever since he woke up from his stupor, he had expected this to happen. Everything he had worked so hard to build would soon crumble and disappear without a trace.

Drt Drt Drt

"Your cell is ringing, Lorenzo. Pick up your phone."

Lorenzo reached into his trouser pocket and pulled out a black object that seemed to vibrate noisily in his hand. He scrolled through his phone screen and picked up the call quickly.

"Yes, you guys have blocked the ship?"

“……”

“Something must be going on there, what's wrong? Just say it," said Lorenzo angrily.

His interlocutor spoke hesitantly. He told unimportant things to buy time before telling the crux of the problem they were facing.

“…………”

"What? The canisters filled with toxic gas? You also sent genocidal weapons?”

Suddenly Lorenzo turned to Parker with a furious growl at the man. Meanwhile Parker shuffled frantically on the bed. His head pressed deeper into the pillow, as if he wanted to hide himself from the sinister Lorenzo.

"Bring the evidence to headquarters, I'll take a look after the prosecutor's office comes to take Parker."

After hanging up the phone, Lorenzo turned to Parker to interrogate him.

“All this time you were smuggling genocidal weapons?”

"What? No, I didn't do it at all. I just smuggle my cars into several countries in Asia and the middle east so I don't have to pay taxes. I didn't smuggle anything but cars at all. I swear in the name of God. I have absolutely nothing to do with the genocidal weapons you accuse. Why would I smuggle genocidal weapons if my goal of smuggling is to increase my profits, I have absolutely nothing to do with those genocidal weapons."

Selena noticed Parker's earnest expression and gave Lorenzo a small nod. He thought Parker had told the truth. He had absolutely no idea about the genocidal weapons that were on his expedition ship.

"We have to do a more detailed investigation. Especially about Jack Arthur's involvement in this case. He certainly wasn't alone. There must be other ministers involved or officials from other countries.”

"Yes I know. Call the prosecutor's office now." Lorenzo called coldly.

Selena immediately called her friend who served at the prosecutor's office to bring Parker. His investigation for tonight has been completed. At least they got a name for the next investigation. And about the mysterious figure who invested a lot of money in Parker's company, they will investigate after the case is handled properly. Because all of the genocidal weapons found on Parker's expedition ship probably belonged to the mysterious man.
