“THANK you so much, Miss. Lawrence.”With a big smile and a genuine heart to help the orphanage despite her initial plan to only acquire the necessary information that she needed for her investigation. Lindsey look around the office of the orphanage headmistress and caught with her eyes the oldest photo that is placed inside the glass cabinet along with the other photos of the orphanage children. “This photo.”She whispers, looking intently at the faces of the kids. Spotting that old ball among the crowd. “That’s the oldest and the first photo that the orphanage has.”The headmistress interrupted Lindsey’s thoughts. Didn’t mean to take her attention, but then gave her the chance and a way to further ask.“The first photo. Does that mean that the children in this photo are the first kids that you have taken care of?”Lindsey asks curiously, especially after finding that familiar face that she is having that specific hunch about. “Yes, they are. They are the first batch of children t
“NICE to meet you, Miss Lawrence.”“So, do I, Mr. Wayeright.”Lindsey put on her best professional smile. Proud and confident in front of the person that she’s been investigating. Their meeting is a bit unexpected, but she then took it as a chance. Comes into contact first with the person that she will be looking closely at. “I suppose I owe you my appreciation and thanks for choosing this orphanage to be sponsored by your company Miss Lawrence.”Aaron and so what he introduces in front of Lindsey gladly said. With the smile that Lindsey somehow could read deeper than what he meant from the surface. Lindsey smiles back, shakes her head slowly, and replied. “You are very welcome. Our family is grateful that we can help institutions like this and for a cause,”Both exchanged professional words. Their look towards each other is knocking something that neither one of them wanted to show the real thing. Somehow, they are playing the difficult game of tag where neither one of them want to
“AND here I am, thinking that you already drop the idea.”Brian somehow reminded Sam, no, he is a bit venting his frustration for Sam’s hard-headed nature. That is getting worse day by day when it comes to his little sister, Cath. “Drop the idea? Did I ever tell you that?”Sam smirks, somewhat toying with Brian. But, both of them know that it is just his little antics to justify his choices. “Aren’t you afraid Cath will know about this?”Brian now threatened him casually. Bluntly using Cath in the situation which Sam is taking his initial advantage from. “If she will know,” Sam emphasizes with confidence. Looks back at Brian with those eyes that tell him one thing. “I know that you wouldn’t rant me out no matter what.”His trust and defense, knowing Brian while taking into consideration their friendship and partnership in one way and another. “Confident enough?”Brian’s reply is that isn’t a joke, nor a little play-by-words that they usually do in an argument or two. While hidin
“WHAT do you think, Brian?”Sam’s words and suspicion, no, his deduction that Brian is left contemplating if he will tell him the entire truth. This means, breaking his promise to Cath and the fact that they are facing a dangerous situation this time. “The Chairman?”Brian asks, a bit changing the topic which Sam can see through him and what he is trying to do and implying. “Mom is never a person who jumps into things recklessly. Yet, she also isn’t the person that would just sit back and do nothing if she had something that doesn’t suit her principles.”Sam briefly explains, which Brian knows about and way from before. Not just being his best friend, but the most trusted employee that the Lawrences had. “What do you think the Chairman knew?”Brian’s question and this time a fact that he wanted to know about. Now that Sam just shared with him the involvement of the Chairman that no one of them especially Cath should take it for granted even for a bit. “Not that much, but one thing
“WHAT the hell is happening?”Harry desperately asks Brian, irritated by the fact that he is a bit left in space. Worst with his guts telling him for a while now that Sam knew everything more than they could expect of him. But Brian could only look at him knowingly. Hesitant and in between the facts of what Sam knew, what he didn’t and will about to know. “We are here.”Brian immediately informs Sam, pulling the car to a complete stop in front of the apartment building that just confirms everything of Harry’s intuition. “Floor number.”Sam directly asks, but to Brian and instead towards Harry. Brian is then taken aback by the question and the bit of a threatening stare that Sam is making toward him.“What?”Harry asks, acting all puzzled to stall some time while sending signs to Brian to help him out. But before Brian could, but then, on the contrary, he isn’t allowed by chance nor has Sam given him the second to do so. Sam repeated himself and much more firmly this time. “I resp
THE three of them are stunned, more than just surprised by what they just heard and saw. Especially Sam that didn’t expect his mother to keep a such deep and huge secret from them. “I see. That’s why she was uneasy back then.”He recalled the past whispering the fact that just make sense. That somehow everything of the lost pieces of the grand puzzle had been found and placed perfectly in their rightful place. “When does this conversation of them happen?”Brian asks, worried about the things that just explode in front of Cath. “Just a while.” Jun immediately answers him, reading his worry that he then corrected and assures. “Cath is not an ordinary woman, unlike the rest. She is not someone who will back down and easily be swayed by things around her. And I admit, she is one hell of a badass one that I ever met.”Jun’s compliments and emphasis on those facts calm Brian. Realizing what Jun is saying to him about his younger sister and the fact that Sam also admits. Just realize that
“NADIA!”Sam calls out, in deep worry when Nadia’s phone call is then ended after a shrieking noise and a loud crash that he heard from the other line. “Nadia? What happened?”Harry quickly asks and is in a bit of a panic, especially after seeing Sam’s face. “Damn!” Jun curses after quickly grabbing his phone and forgetting to turn his phone’s speaker up, realizing a bit late that Nadia had been calling him for a while now. “Stupid!” He curses and scolded himself while trying to reach Nadia’s phone, but to no avail. “Somethings not right. Jun, you do have a tracker with Cath or Nadia’s phone, right?”Sam quickly asks and almost slams his body into Jun, shoving him away from the computer and immediately twerking the keys to find Nadia and Cath’s location. “I do.”Jun immediately replies and help him with the tracking device. “Here.”Jun quickly located the two phones that is too far from each other. Nadia’s tracker is way ahead and out of the route than Cath’s phone. “This is
“ACCIDENT?”Sam almost curses. Fed up from the series of events, worse with Cath missing. “Where is she? No, let’s go to the hospital.”He directly ordered, rushing inside their cars and heading to where Nadia is taken. “Authorities are already at the scene when Jun arrives. But he did catch up and found Nadia being pulled inside the ambulance, with the instruction to take Nadia to the RD Medical hospital.”Brian explained, on the wheels and hitting the gas while Adriella and her bodyguards are following them close behind. “Call the director of the hospital, and tell him to move quicker than they did before once the ambulance arrived.”Sam added which Brian immediately followed. Calling the hospital director which is under their corporation and the hospital that Adriella is supervising as the Chairman. “Harry.”“Yes.”Harry quickly responded phone at hand and was more than ready for anything that Sam will instruct him to do. Knowing that in this situation, being slow and a bit foo
