Return Of The Forsaken Madam chapter 150
“This is a game and we must play it like a pro.”Ailee’s last statement kept ringing in Bastian’s mind as he walked into the conference room. He wasn’t fully composed, but with Ailee’s words and her presence as his accompaniment, he was able to govern his body and maintained his normal stride.Ailee walked faster and arrived at the door before Bastian. She opened the door for him to enter and curtsied her head. “Remember the goal, sir.” She whispered as he walked past her.Bastian stepped into the conference room and exhaled deeply, and without delay, he paced to his seat and sat down.The directors looked at each other’s faces one after the other, surprised to see Bastian enter the room alone, since he always came with the president. They wanted to question him, but innerly convinced themselves that the president was on her way.‘Why isn’t she here yet?’‘Why isn’t Bastian saying anything?’‘Why is the room silent?’‘Won’t anyone say something?’‘Who will talk first?’‘Who will addres

Revealing the president’s abduction is dangerous, but sitting in the conference room without taking any action for eight hours would be more brutal.‘What’s the Plan B?’Bastian kept wondering, saying a prayer in silence, wishing the plan would work out so he could get out of that room and continue with the investigation.The conference room door opened and Anna paced in a long stride. She walked to the president's chair and stood beside it for a few seconds, making sure all the director's eyes were settled on her and after seeing they were at the peak of their curiosity, she bowed her head, greeting, “good day.”Director Mile looked at the director sitting beside him, asking, “who is she?”“I don’t know,” the director responded. He glanced at Anna disgustedly and cracked up. “Maybe she is also here to claim to be the lost heiress of Matthew family and is now here to rule…”Director Mile scoffed, backing the other director. “Maybe the president's position is now a duty to be shifted b

“The president has been kidnapped?!” The directors stood on their feet with their mouths kept ajar and their eyes enlarged in disbelief.Hearing them say that, Bastian, Ailee and Anna’s eyebrows lifted up, and they gazed at each other's faces, shocked about who leaked the information.Director Mile sluggishly turned his neck until his eyes met with Bastian. He showed him the phone screen, questioning, “say something about this, Bastian. Is this true?”Looking at the message on director Mile’s screen, Bastian's eyes enlarged more as he densely fixed it on the phone, unable to say a word.“Will you say something?!” Director Mile yelled, frustrated. He widened his eyes and ground his teeth before he faced Anna and showed her the message. “You are the president’s secretary, so you should know better. Will you say something about this?”“Is it true that the president has been kidnapped?” Director Mile questioned, but Anna still couldn’t utter a word. “Will you stop all this and say someth

“Isn’t this Lucas Cohen?” Director Mile inquired, furrowing his face with an unclear expression. “What are you doing here?”Cohen beamed and slightly curtsied his head. “Yes, it is me, sir,” he responded, explaining, “I am here to relay the president’s message.”“Hun!” everyone exclaimed, and after watching the directors murmured to each other, Cohen paced closer. Cohen arrived in their midst and stood beside Anna. He bowed his head. “Good day, everyone,” he greeted. He raised his head and faced Bastian, stretching out his phone. “This is from the president. I bumped into her in Russia and she told me to give you this contact that you can use to reach her,”“She lost her phone and can’t come back yet because her son isn’t feeling fine.” Cohen let out.Bastian collected the phone from Cohen.“Dial the last contact on my call history. She called earlier to ask if I had landed.” Cohen disclosed.“Okay,” Bastian said. He had a glance at Cohen and after receiving a go ahead signal, he dia

Director Mile’s jaw dropped and since evidence has been presented, he couldn’t say anything again. Instead, he fixed his eyes on the ground and hung his hands over his back.Director Bryant snickered. “Director Mile, what will happen now?” He raised a question in a mocking tone. “Do you have anything to say? Will you wait for the president to come back, or we will cancel this meeting and let Bastian take care of everything?”Director Mile cleared his throat and loosened his hands from his back. “Umm, hmmm…” he made sounds for a few seconds. He sighed and gave a response. “We will just cancel the meeting and wait for Bastian to sort things out. I hope he can take care of it soon…”Immediately, as Director Mile stopped talking, he stared downward, feeling embarrassed. He accepted Bryant’s defeat and was ashamed to even take a step out of that room and after a minute's thought, he found another fault. He raised his gaze and pointed his finger at Anna, querying, “you… why did you lie to u

Anna boldly nodded, standing on her claim. “Yes, director Bryant. I suspect him.”“But…” Bastian wanted to oppose her, but Ailee chose to interrogate her.“Why do you say so? I mean, what makes him a suspect?” Ailee interrogated.“His reaction,” Anna gave a simple response and further explained. “He is too relaxed for this kind of situation. While everything was going on, he didn’t say anything. He was just observing as if he already knew where the situation was heading to.”“That’s how director Bryant is. He is an introvert and barely utters a word. I’ve never seen him talk back at anyone or raise his voice, and that was the reason everyone was surprised to see him talk to director Mile in that manner.” Ailee explained, defending director Bryant, since she has known him for a while.Bastian nodded in support of everything Ailee said. “Yes, that director Bryant’s nature. He is pretending,” he uttered. “Moreover, can’t you see he was on the same side as us? He disrespected director Mil

“I THINK I HAVE ONE HERE!” A voice came from the entrance and they looked at the door director to see a figure standing, caused a shocked tone to flee their lips.“Hun!”Mrs Chloe, the director of the three stars media company, crossed her legs and relaxed her body on the wall. She raised her right hand and waved it, lightly holding her bag in the left hand, filling her lips with a smile. “Mrs. Chloe, the first female director of the biggest media company in the country, greeting you youngsters…” she let out, twisting her tongue as she paused after every word.She faced Anna and cracked up, elegantly raising her bag for display. “My bag?” She said and covered her mouth with her right hand, beaming. “You like it, don’t you?”“It’s a new design. The latest one. You can’t be familiar with it because there are only three of them in the whole world and I am lucky to be the first of the three luckiest people to get it. You can’t afford it. It is meant for people like me and your president wh

“I received a call from an unknown person…” director Chloe wanted to narrate and interrupted her.Cohen changed his sitting posture, moving his bottom forward a little with his eyes widened in curiosity. “Who?” He threw a question. “Who called you, please?”Director gave him a side but deadly glanced and shook her head in pity. “Fool!” she yelled at him. “Didn’t you hear me say it is an unknown person?”She clicked tongue twice and slightly turned her face to the left, murmuring. “You all are frustrating me. I shouldn’t be sitting here if not because of my daughter-in-law. Only her present appeases me.”“Sorry, ma,” Ailee apologized, indirecting cutting director Chloe off so she wouldn’t drag it further and also nailed the main point she was there. “What did the person say?”Director Chloe beamed and stared at Ailee’s face. “You are the only sensible person here. That is the reasonable question to ask,” she let out. “But I won’t answer that question yet.”Everyone’s eyes enlarged, and

-THREE MONTHS LATER-“What are you doing, Cohen?” Patricia challenged as Cohen slowly reversed the car. “Aren’t we going to pick the kid at the school anymore?”“We will.” Cohen answered as he drove into the other lane and headed toward their street.“Then why are you reversing? Why are you heading back home?” She questioned.“I forgot something at home.” Cohen informed.“What did you forget? Hun?” she asked, looking at him with a side of her eyes.“My phone.” Cohen responded.“Why must we go back to pick up your phone? It will take less than an hour to get back home. Can’t you just let’s go?” She queried.“I can’t because I am a business owner. I mustn’t stay away from my phone.” Cohen gave an excuse with his eyes fixed on the road ahead.“It’s the weekend, Cohen. No one will call you today. Stop giving excuses and let’s pick the kids. We shouldn’t keep them waiting for a long time.” Patricia said.“I’m not going because of business, but I need to pay fees before we can take the kids

Cohen discharged a deep breath as he walked out of the bathroom. He paused for a second and rounded his hands over his waist, forgetting what he wanted to do next at that moment.A thought passed through his mind and he wiped his right hand over his face with the left still on the waist.Patricia’s phone rang, and he walked to the cabinet on the bedside and picked it up. “Who could be?” He wondered with his eyes furrowed, confused, and before he could turn to the door, the call ended and a message came into her eyes.Since Patricia’s phone was always unlocked, Cohen saw the message’s content and his eyes enlarged as a surprised tone escaped his mouth. “Hun!”He bit his lower lip and after a few second thought, he reached a conclusion and instantly swiped the message to the left to delete it. He returned the phone to the bed cabinet and rushed out of the room.He arrived in the sitting room and saw his mother watching the TV while Elsie was packing their breakfast out of the kitchen an

“Who is here for me?” Anna threw a question at the security officer escorting her out of the room, showing no interest in meeting the person. The security officer opened the door for her and immediately as she sighted Patricia, she veered around.Patricia quickly stood on her feet. “Is that how to treat a guest?” She threw a question. “Shouldn’t you at least stay to hear why I am here? Your daughter, Rachel, don’t you have any message you want to pass to her?”Patricia’s words made Anna’s feet froze, and she halted for a minute before she slowly veered around and walked to the chair and sat down. “I have no message for Rachel. She doesn’t deserve a mother like me. I don’t worth to be called a mother,” she poured out. “Tell me why you are here. I don’t want to talk with you.”Patricia discharged a deep breath and sighed. She stared at Anna with a pity and despite having a lot of things in her mind, she couldn’t open her mouth to talk at the moment.Anna sighed. “Take your eyes away fro

Anna abruptly opened the door and banged in, panting. “Ma! Ma! Ma!” She shouted, running towards Patricia’s desk.Patricia was shocked, and she couldn’t utter a word. Instead, she widened her eyes and watched Anna arrived in front of her desk before she could pull a word out. “What happened?” She asked, the worried in her voice cooperating with the concern in her voice.Anna breathed heavily as she bent her back and placed her hands on her knees.“What happened?!” Patricia raised her voice. She was getting more scared by Anna’s reaction.Anna panted for another second before she raised her hand and stood straight on her feet. “It’s him…” she uttered, but couldn’t complete her statement.She pointed her thumb at her back, crossing it over her shoulder without looking backward. “It’s him…” she continued, struggling to complete her statement but couldn’t.“It’s who?” Patricia asked, with her lips already quivering. “Calm yourself and talk, Anna. What happened? It’s who? Please, talk. You’

Ailee walked into the office and stood in front of Bastian’s head. She bowed her head, holding a file in her hand. “Good morning, sir,” she greeted, but Bastian, whose head was placed on the desk, didn’t respond to her.“Good morning, sir,” she greeted again, but still no response.She furrowed her face. “What’s wrong with him?” She asked herself in a low voice. She observed him for a second and bent a bit to check if he was sleeping, but his eyes were wide open, making her guess he was just lost in thought.She elevated her shoulder a bit with her mouth shaped to the left a little. “What’s wrong with him?” She asked herself put the file on the desk and let out. “The president said I should give this to you.”She eyed her for another few minutes and turned around to leave, but as she took three steps forward, she halted because she was worried and couldn’t leave Bastian in that situation.“Gosh…” she uttered and discharged a soft breath and, without giving her decision a second thought

Patricia heard a knock on the floor, and she stopped pressing her laptop. She glanced at her wristwatch. “8:05 Am? Who could it be?” She wondered.She stared at the door and raised her voice so it could reach the person. “Come in.” She permitted and immediately continued pressing her laptop.“Good morning, ma.”She heard a familiar voice and instantly raised her gaze. “Cohen?!” she exclaimed with her eyes widened in disbelief, and she couldn’t say another word. Instead, she fixed her eyes on him and watched him stride closer.Cohen arrived in front of his desk and bowed his head. “Good morning, ma,” he greeted. He raised his head and crossed his hand behind him as he stared downward and slightly bent his neck to apologize. “I’m sorry I arrived late,”“I have to drop my mother at the hospital.” He exclaimed.“What are-” Patricia opened her mouth to talk, but Cohen interrupted her.“I’m sorry. I know that’s not an excuse. I shouldn’t involve family matters in business, but I have to sta

“Be careful…” Patricia cautioned Williams, who was already a few steps ahead of her out of the hospital and had been jumping around since the doctor said he was perfectly healthy now. There was no injection for him anymore.“Mom, please call Dad. This call for celebration. I am happy,” Williams let out. He stopped jumping, but couldn’t help pacing fast because he was so excited. He halted and glanced backward at his mother. “And don’t forget to invite Mr. Cohen as well. He needs to be there. I hope he is fine now and will have the strength to come.”“Sure, I will,” she agreed. She took a few steps closer to her and bent in his front. She passed the medicine nylon in her right hand to the left and placed it on Williams’s shoulder. “Williams, I know this won’t sound well with you or you won’t like it, but now that the truth is out and you know who Cohen is, you should change how you address him.”Williams furrowed his face as he raised his shoulder, stretching his hands beside him. “What

-Many weeks later-“Ma, it’s Mrs. Charlotte. She has been waiting for over two hours.” Anna proclaimed immediately as she entered the office. Patricia was working on a file, and Anna’s announcement made her halted. She raised her gaze and looked at Anna’s face. “Why did you keep her waiting?” She questioned. “You should have told her I was in a meeting.”“I did, but she insisted on staying, and Ailee told me to allow her. I even invited her to come into the office to wait for you, but she declined saying she doesn’t worth it.” Anna explained.Patricia sighed and closed the file on her desk. She stood and walked out of her seat, asking, “where is she now?”“At the third floor. She is waiting with others question,” Anna responded. Patricia had already walked to her side, and before she could add another word, Patricia increased her speed and already walked past her.Anna turned around and paced to Patricia with three steps between them. “You can stay. I will go call her.” She offered.
