Picado started speaking. “Today’s the annual function of our Campbell corporations limited.”“I thank all the guests for coming here to this very beautiful evening.” “This company has come much far with the help of all the people working alongside, its employees, and the most important person, the CEO who made all of this possible for us, Mr. Huston Campbell, the owner who founded this at the age of 25.”“Even though his health is not doing very well, he still managed to come today.”“Let’s welcome, Mr. Huston on stage.”Everyone was clapping in response.Grandpa arrives at the stage along with the help of Isabella and Gray’s dad who has arrived at the spot. Picado assists him along.He was in his wheelchair, facing all those people. Picado held the mic close to his mouth.“Is there anything that you want to say to all the people who arrived?”.“Yes.”Lucy and others were sitting in the front row watching him from a close distance.“I’m very much happy to meet to see the happy face
A big car arrived at the front gate. A man stepped out and opened the door. Robin comes out of the car dressed in a black blazer and white shirt with a red bow tie looking quite handsome. Chris also came out from the other side and joined Robin. Four more people came out along with Chris.They all stared at each other. Everyone had been dressing up the way Robin was dressed. Chris stared at the office building and glanced back at Robin.“Young master, you didn’t explain the whole plan to me yet.”Robin turns to him, placing a hand on his shoulder.“Just believe in me.”“Do as I say and no need to worry.”He looked at the four people who came with them.“You four!”.Everyone looked at Robin with surprise.“What is it?”.“Stick together for now. Though we will need to get separated along the way. For the time being, follow me.”They nodded. All four of them are the butlers of Bradley mansion who work with Chris.Chris sighs turning to Robin.“Come.” Robin leads the way through the gat
Robin heads towards the places he was supposed to search. He passes through the eyes of other staff and searched them out. The other people who came with him were doing the same thing. He was done checking out the previous two places, but couldn’t find anything.He starts to feel frustrated, but regaining his composure he starts searching for some more places. But the next one was not the one he was searching for also. He takes a cup of coffee and heaved a sigh, then came over to the side of the window and peeked out.“This is no time for taking breaks. Why am I wasting time here anyway?”.He takes a sip of the coffee and looks at the other wing. He noticed something.There was a woman standing at the window, as if looking out for someone who might be approaching her. Her behaviors were quite suspicious.He became confused so he observed her for a while. Suddenly, their eyes met and she hides herself from him right away closing the window. She covers the window by pulling the curtai
Robin’s eyes widened in shock.“What? She left right in front of me and I couldn’t catch her?”.“Which floor is she going to anyway?”.“I should take the stairs.”He starts running following the direction where the elevator was going.“She might be the key to finding the room where the desserts might be kept by Gray, I can’t let her get out of my sight.”“Lucy, I will help you.”“Now, let’s call the last member of the Campbell family, the youngest daughter, Lucy!”.“She has been promoted recently to a good position because of the results of her hardwork and dedication towards her company.”“Let’s give her a warm greeting everyone!” Picado yelled.Lucy gets up on her feet, but her feets were stuck to the ground, making her unable to walk.“I…...”.“Why can’t my legs move?”.“Come here, Lucy!” Picado called from above the stage.Lucy looked up at him and smiled, tucking away the hair that fell over her face.“I can’t let my nervousness get the better off me. I have to go to the stage an
Robin held his breath, as he informed his people about it. He observed the woman in front of him very much clearly.“If she gets out of my eyes, then I might lose the chance of helping Lucy forever.”“I have to prove myself useful.”The woman goes inside, but kept the door behind her locked.She was inside for a couple of minutes. Robin became puzzled, and takes a step forward after looking here and there.“Strange, even though this is their hideout, why’s there no one guarding the place except this woman? Did he had no more people to work for him or what?”.He observed from a distance, but the curiosity of coming closer to the door was too much to resist.He looked sideways again, and goes to stand next to the door. He peeked inside through the keyhole to see the woman standing next to a big amount of boxes.She was opening one, where desserts were lying inside.“That’s…..”.“The desserts Lucy was telling about.”“Then, this is the room!”.“I need to tell others!”.He sends his locat
“I’ll start counting.” He heaved a sigh and looks at her in a straightforward way.“One,” he inserted his hands inside his pocket, putting his phone on dial, lowering the voice.“Two, three, four, five-“.She lowered her eyes at her feet, her eyes darting all throughout the room.“Six, Seven, eight, nine, ten, okay, time’s-“.She smirked, then chuckled a little drawing his attention.“What’s so funny?” he comments, with an frown.“Are you laughing because you’ll be beaten up soon?”.“Just because you counted, my time is not going to be up.” She replied, tucking away the strands of hair that fell over her face.“What?”.“The one who’s time is up…..”.She gave an dangerous look to him which sent shivers down his spine.“Is, yours.”Before Robin was able to interpret what she said, a hand came from behind around his neck.“Enough talking for the day. You will be in trouble if you speak so much.” Murmured a voice behind him.The other hand was strangling him.Robin became alarmed.“When d
“Hey, I’m going down now. I’ll send Sammy and others outside the door to keep watch.” “Lia will be here to join you. Is that alright?”. Maria nodded. “Send her soon, I’d like to go to the toilet after this.”“Ah, sure.”“You keep your watch on him. Don’t let him escape anytime soon.”“I know.”Luca glanced at Robin, then opens the door after setting Robin’s phone near the box near the doorway. He closed the door behind him and left. Maria was left with Robin all by himself.Robin stared at her intensely.Maria looked at him and sighed.“Why am I always left taking care of these tasks for nothing?”.“I wanted to go down and enjoy the drinks and the fancy foods for free.”“Whatever.”Maria goes up to the window and looks outside. “Can’t leave the curtains open. The last time he saw me as well. I don’t want to be caught again.” She closed the window and came up to Robin and takes a seat right in front of him.“You know,” she looked at him.“This is the first time I have kept s
A girl came and then she talked with one of the man in the middle. They unlocked the door and helped her go inside then closed the door behind her back."What do they plan on doing?" One of the butler asked."Why did they let the girl in? Do they plan on getting young master in trouble or something?"."Or is this another strategy against him?".Chris sighs."My head is not working all that i can think about is how to save young master only.""But i don't know how.""This is quite the trouble we are in." The other butler added."Should we call master's wife? She might be help us in something right?".Chris grunted."This is the least thing master wanted to happen. He doesn't want to get his wife involved in any of his mess. This is his will."He looked at the other butlers."And we have to do our very best to keep the will of our master.""But what's the way out other than this?" Grunted the other."We can't ask for help he can't come out by himself. We can't show ourselves to them eit
