Between Love and Scandal 21. No Result
That morning, Mark suddenly took Aileen to William to find out the whereabouts of Bob and Laura. At the very least, they should be able to prune all the names involved to rid the branch of the traitors.Only then will they be able to normalize the branch office and make it "healthy" again. But in reality, interrogating William was a waste of time. The man, who was still arrogant and haughty even in his position as a prisoner, would not speak at all."You think you know everything, don't you? Then find out for yourself! How do I know where they're going? They have their brains and legs!" This super annoying reply came from the thin lips of the man with the equally thin mustache."Damn it! Then you'll rot in jail! You criminal!" Mark almost threw his fist at William from behind the bars. Fortunately, Aileen quickly grabbed the man's arm, preventing him from hurting his fist, which the bars would have blocked.Mark's emotions were uncontrollable every time he saw William, especially when
Between Love and Scandal 22. The Partner
Two people were organizing the scattered data they had received from William's office in a room that looked a bit chaotic. They would use it to find the data of the clients the man had sabotaged.After almost an hour, they hadn't gotten much; William did his job neatly and cleanly, and they had trouble collecting all the missing data.Aileen searched every locker and pile of important documents. At the same time, Mark went into William's computer to look for any other clues.They needed the data of the clients the former director had defrauded for his gain. They needed a different approach to regain the trust of their customers and, at the same time, look for marketing targets. After this incident, the previous customers can run away and have difficulty getting new customers."How was it? What did you get?" asked Mark. He was tired of working on his laptop. Searching for hidden documents, unzipping, and even cracking the web password William had created to find the data they were look
Between Love and Scandal 23. The Searching Action
"Lucas told Daddy. The branch office will have to close soon. He said he didn't want to know anymore because the total loss is fantastic."Mark's words made Aileen feel like she had been struck in the solar plexus. This office, this workplace that had become part of her life—oh my!"Do something, please. You promised you wouldn't let us get fired en masse, Mark!"A single tear slid down her face, falling unbearably from her eyes.No, Aileen was no crybaby. But this shocking news was hard to hear at a time when her hopes had soared thanks to the promise of the man before her.Mark looked at Aileen with tears in her eyes. He would have grabbed her and pulled her into a comforting embrace if it hadn't been for the cafeteria."You don't have to worry. Potential people like you will be empowered at the headquarter office even if it closes. Would you work in the NYC office?Mark had a solution. It was still a secret. But how could he make Aileen, who already had a place in his heart, look sa
Between Love and Scandal 24. Chatch One
"Mercy!""Mercy, Mr. Mark!"Several times, the muffled cry from the mouth of the old hulking man begged Mark, holding Bobby's back, to stay prone on the road.Aileen had already arrived, standing next to Mark, clutching her chest as her breathing raced.It had been a long time since she had run as fast as she had just done. Oh my! Her heart and lungs felt like they were going to burst with nervousness and exertion."Where are you going, Mr. Bobby?" asked Mark, who then grabbed both of the man's hands with a single jerk and pulled them behind him to give the impression that he could not move.Several people who had been watching the running scene looked over curiously. What was going on? Had a chicken thief been caught? Several guesses surfaced, forcing them to crowd around Aileen and Mark, who seemed to be holding a helpless man.Aileen immediately called the police and asked for help in catching the criminal."Mr. Bobby, just admit what you did. The law will take care of everything.
Between Love and Scandal 25. Traitor
"What?""Are you serious?"Lucas was shocked by the report he had just heard from Mark."I'll talk to Dad later. Don't tell him. You're too heartless to care about Dad's heart condition!" Mark warned Lucas.He reported his latest progress to Lucas."And I'm asking for a little more time to catch them all. Once all four are arrested. You won't have any reason to close the branch office, will you?"Mark said what he was told, and Aileen waited anxiously beside him. She listened to every word they said because, this time, Mark was deliberately speaking into the loudspeaker.Occasionally, Mark squeezed Aileen's fingers in front of him. The look on Aileen's face really touched him. Maybe it was the same as when he was so afraid that the orphanage he grew up in would be evicted.Yes, at that time, he had also been adopted by Mr. Alex Howard. However, he was still reluctant because the place was still the most comfortable home for most of his siblings in the orphanage. It was a reluctant fee
Between Love and Scandal 26. Permission To Search
"We need to search William's private residence. There must be records of his cash flow. I'm sure we'll find that the destination of the money flow is Mr. Leigner's account." Mark said as the two of them walked quickly back to the parking lot."The police are taking too long. In the name of procedure, evidence can disappear before it can be found. Damn it!" Mark chirped again.Aileen followed Mark's long strides. She still did not feel well. But her stomach was already screaming for food. Mark was completely insensitive. The man forgot to eat and drink while working on something."Is that the sound of your stomach?"Mark stopped spontaneously and looked closely into Aileen's eyes.Aileen just scowled."I haven't eaten yet, I've been running around after that, using up all my energy. I'm hungry!""Cih! Let's eat outside later!" Mark walked all the way to where his bike was parked.But he turned into a restaurant a short time into the ride."Eat a lot. We have a lot of work to do!" Mark
Between Love and Scandal 27. The Search For Laura
Meanwhile, Laura, who was also on the run, struggled with the search team led by Mr. Ben.A black car appeared on the street and tried to break through the traffic jam. Inside, a ponytailed Laura, dressed in a bright black blouse, was terrified. Her heart was pounding as a train passed in front of her.She couldn't wait to get away from this place. This place had become a scourge for her, not only because of being chased by several people but also because of an incident that dragged her name as a suspect.The girl's eyes occasionally glanced at the rearview mirror, hoping that a car that looked like a fairly large van was not following her. She was relieved when she didn't see the car in the mirror.But when the train passed, the girl named Laura didn't want to waste any time. She stepped on the accelerator as hard as possible and drove through the streets leading to the port.She ignored the street children cleaning her car with their duster, the vendors offering unique toys, the beg
Between Love and Scandal 28. Hiding
Just as they had expected. The black car pulled into the harbor. As they had planned, as soon as Laura was on the deck, Evan and David ran to the car and knocked on Laura's window.Laura didn't move. She took a breath and let it out roughly. Her plan to escape failed as she was caught by the men of her company. But Laura needed ideas.Her eyes scanned the area again. Laura was deliberately buying time so that she could run free without being caught. Then she smiled mischievously. Suddenly, she had an idea of how to escape. She opened the window."Hey, you! Excuse me, can I open my door? I hope you can walk a little behind or in front of me. Can you?"David complied. He immediately stepped forward and let her open the door. Once the door was open, Laura quickly ran past the cars that were starting to park in the lot. Meanwhile, David picked up his HT and reported that the target was about to escape.The men immediately gathered. They split up when they saw Laura already in the middle o
