Bruce pondered the situation as he exited his Young Master’s office, he wondered if they were doing the right thing. He was already having doubts because it was him who had reported to Ethan and he wouldn’t be able to bear the guilt if he had indeed missed something.But he had to obey the Young Master’s order for now or his head would be absent from the rest of his body before dawn.As he went down the stairs, Cassidy emerged from the closed off balcony beside Ethan’s study. She hid her victorious smirk and entered the study.“Ethan, how are you feeling?” She put on a look of worry as she attempted to walk behind his desk but he pinned her with his sharp gaze and she froze.“I would appreciate some quiet in my study, Cassidy. I have work to do.”“Of course, just let me know if you need anything,” she retraced her steps and sashayed to the door then turned to look at him again.“And I’m always here if you need to speak to someone.”Ethan watched as she shut the door behind her before l

Jane stared at Brock Davenport as she struggled to ask for help, she didn’t want anything that would make her feel like she owed him.“Jane? What’s the matter? Do you need something?” He asked as he stared back at her.“Senior, I’m really very sorry to ask but can I use your phone? I don’t know what is wrong with mine, it’s not working.”“My phone? You want to call your husband?”“Yes, my phone isn’t working at all and I’m even more worried. I don’t know how he is or if he’s better now.”Her words became more panicked as she spoke.“Oh, I’m sorry but that isn’t possible. You can’t use my phone.”“Eh? But… why? Did I do something wrong over the night?”He chuckled, “No, I don’t have phone access either. My grandfather made sure of that.”“What? No house phones either? That’s just mean, what if something happened to you in this foreign country?”“It’s alright, he thought about all of that so I’m fine.”“Still…” she sighed, rich people were just built differently. If only she knew that he

Bruce walked into the mansion with wide strides and met Cassidy in the living room. He nodded perfunctorily at her and continued up the flight of stairs to his Young Master’s study.He knocked and opened the door as Ethan responded.“Good evening, Young Master,” he greeted with his head bowed as he got ready for the questioning.“Where were you, Bruce? I was informed that you took your personal car as soon as you left.”Ethan raised his eyes from the files on his desk and pinned Bruce with a deep gaze.“I had no intention of activating the tracker because I knew you would tell me yourself… so?”“Yes, Young Master. I… went to the Young Mistress’s school.” Bruce was aware his Young Master was even more paranoid now that he believed the Young Mistress had left him for Young Master Davenport.Ethan’s eyes narrowed at the mention of Jane, it seemed she had taken the loyalty of even his right hand and he hated that he felt powerless against that because it was his fault. “School? What for?

Bruce left the mansion in his Escalade after packing a few clothes and essentials, he would come back once he had all the evidence he needed to prove his Young Mistress’s innocence.He drove to Baymont and got a parking spot before approaching the familiar receptionist.“Maestro Bruce.” She nodded in acknowledgment.“Ah Giulia, as lovely as ever. Tell Maurice I’m here, would you?”“Absolutely. You know your way to the…”“Bar? Sure love, I’ll be fine by myself, you go ahead,” he winked as he stalked off and she shook her head with a small smile as she instructed the special bell boy to wheel his luggage to his assigned room.He went to the private booth and a Swiss knife flew at his face as he drew the curtains which he caught between his index and middle finger.“As sharp as ever I see,” a man with a Russian accent said as he chuckled and puffed a Panetela Gigante as he rose to his feet.“Maurice,” Bruce called as he embraced the man and clapped him on the back, “I see your cigars have

Ivy sat on her princess bed and kept trying to call Jane over and over but the same automated voice repeated the same message over and over.“What is going on? Where are you, Jane? I should have discouraged you from leaving,” she lamented with guilt written all over her.She turned her attention to the door as it opened, her mum walked in and smiled at her but immediately noticed something was wrong.“Jane, dear? Is everything alright? You don’t look cheerful today, you didn’t even hear me knock.”“I’m sorry, mum. I’m just worried about Jane,” her head bent, staring at her phone so she didn’t notice the look on her mum’s face.“What happened to her? Did both of you argue or something?”“No, mum. She’s out of state.”“Ohhh, so you miss her then. Aww,” her mum pinched her cheeks.,“Yes but that’s not the issue,” Ivy caught her mum’s hand and held it in her palms in a comforting gesture, “she left alone and has been unreachable for a while now.”Her mum gasped loudly in horror, “So no one

“Not permitted? Since when?” Bruce scoffed and immediately called Maurice who picked up on the second ring.“This had better be important, Bruce, I risked annoying my woman for you,” Maurice growled angrily.“Ohhh, pardon me, Mr Cupid. I didn’t mean to interrupt your sexy time with whichever poor beauty got lured into your net this time,” Bruce chuckled.“Poor beauty, you say? How dare you address my sweetheart in such a manner?” Maurice said with enough sass that Bruce imagined he had his nose in the air.“I’ll have you know that my darling is one of a kind, an absolutely gorgeous woman. So you take that back immediately… I demand it.”“Oh dear me,” Bruce laughed, “since when did you start committing to one woman, my friend?”“Oh Bruce, old lad. It was quite unexpected the way it began but that’s a story for another time. Tell me, to what do I owe the displeasure of your call?”“We have a fish on the hook…. It worked.”“Ha! Now it’s getting interesting enough to play. Let’s talk tomor

“What happened out there, Maurice?”, Bruce asked as he took off his helmet and stalked to the middle of the large room that was the IT room of Maurice’s agency.“It seems you were followed once you exited the doors of the hotel. They have been on your tail for a long time.”“Wait what? So that means…”“That means your stalker is a guest at the hotel. Isn’t that lovely?”“Shut up, Maurice. So we have no way of knowing who it is?”“In a hotel with hundreds of normal looking guests? Absolutely….not.”Bruce glared at Maurice with daggers in his eyes.“Don’t look at me, I’m not the one who doesn’t want you to hook up with your little girlfriend,” Maurice said with his hands raised.“Exactly how does your new girlfriend put up with you again? Because I would murder you in your sleep if I were her.”“See? That’s why you’re not her. Besides, eww… don’t get me wrong, you’re good looking but I’m into boobies and the flowers that bloom at the perfect time down south and you, my dear Bruce, have n

“What do you mean by a bake sale promotion? Why would I want to meet her at a bake sale?”“Hey, how would I know? You’re the one who sent an email with a bake sale so I simply assumed you wanted to meet her there or something like that.”Bruce face palmed and sighed as he desperately wished he could reach through the phone and whack Maurice on the head with a baseball bat.“No, Maurice,” Bruce sighed, “I did not send her a bake sale email. I sent her an email with my location.”“Well, why didn’t you just say that then? I thought you developed a sweet tooth and wanted to also have a date at this bake sale. You know… like killing two birds with one stone.”“Shut up and check what went wrong, this is serious, Maurice. It’s important I get across to her and maintain contact. She’s the only one who can talk to Young Master Ethan when the time comes.”“Alright, fine. Let me see what I can pull up but no promises because we don’t know who we’re dealing with or what resources they have so we h
