All Chapters of HER STRANGE ENCOUNTER WITH A BILLIONAIRE : Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

In Val's office,The dim lighting that shone in from the outside through the glass window as it approached dusk contrasted the mood. Files and papers were still scattered about everywhere, showing signs of the office having been ransacked during the previous search. Val couldn't care any less to have the office tidied. At the moment, she was exhausted. The fear still lingered in her heart as that situation where Mark almost got her in trouble could very well jeopardize her future plans. It was as though people were still in the office as from earlier, and were now staring at her with accusatory gazes. Val couldn't help but wonder if she hadn't made a mistake trying to help Bob, her whole life had taken a strange turn ever since she met him.Val put her hand away from her head which she prior held, and reached to grab her mobile phone to dial Bob's number. It rang through several times but all was to no avail. She tried again and again and again with a dreary expression worn on her f

Maggie's office was silent for a moment," Mistress, I was just about calling to inform you of this" Maggie started to speak a while after having thought of what to say. She was excited to relay her success but was met with silence from Courtney, which Maggie knew meant for her to continue with what she was saying... " Mark had tried to frame Val like I've instigated him to do. He stole the Laguna teardrop with the help of Ollie and convinced Mr Porter to erase the footage of this. Then he had a janitor plant it in Val's office..." I used the opportunity to put effect to that plan of ours to get him laid off, as well as those corrupt employees in one clean swipe..." Maggie paused awaiting approval. However, realizing she wasn't getting any, she continued," I figured it'd be better we do so with valuable reason given. So I followed through with the protocols, while tasking Harry Caister, the assistant chief security, to find clues and retrieve footage to prove Mark and his company gu

The next day, Val woke up early in the morning only to stare at the white ceiling. The twilight at dawn still left the world.in darkness, and if it weren't for the artificial lightings that illuminated the room, one would believe it wasn't morning yet.Val didn't remember the dreams she had, but the worry in her heart spoke well enough of it. She still wasn't over what had happened at work from the previous day. She seemed at a loss as she jumbled in her mind without anchoring on a certain thought.It wasn't after it was like thirty minutes later that she finally thought to go clean her face and freshen up herself. She couldn't stay emotional about the incident forever, she needed to get her mind off of it someway or the other. That too when she let out a sigh earlier, her breath was kind of foul. Of course, she had drunk herself to sleep last night, and its stench still permeated the room. A bittersweet stench Val would say...Once she came back from the washroom, she remembered sh

In attorney Chris' apartment, Val stared at the fireplace that wasn't lit in thought. After the attorney had related Bob's predicament and his current state to her, Val understood why she had to face the accusation of having stolen the missing Laguna teardrop alone without the support and protection she'd been promised.Bob was in police custody and attorney Chris had left San Francisco to aid him. Even if those whom they've appointed to keep watch on her and ensure her safety had witnessed the incident, how were they to report to Bob, or attorney Chris? Both were in no state to receive a report nor do anything to help her out the situation.Besides, those whom Bob appointed to keep watch on Val had to do so discreetly and not openly involve themselves. How were they to come out and defend her? In any case, they couldn't pull the resources to vindicate Val, only Bob and attorney Chris could. And they both were caught up in another situation of grave consequence.' What now?' Val real

Detective Taylor, dressed in a blue shirt and brown pants, held a file in his hands. His usually calm face was differently serious, and he glared dangerously as he paced towards Inspector Roosen's office which they both shared as partners.Knock! Knock!He softly tapped his knuckles on the door before reaching for the door knob." Manners detective, what if I had my hands in my private parts?" Inspector Roosen joked as she dug her head back in the file laid on her table. She wore magnifying glasses that added a mature allure to her appearance."Tsk!" The detective clicked his tongue as his brows twitched. He could never get used to inspector Roosen's banters. They were always too vulgar and extreme." We have report regarding the murder case involving Bob Richardson..." He said as he neared her table and dropped the file in his hands in front of her. He leaned over beside her and rested his hands on the back of her chair.Inspector Roosen straightened her back and furrowed her brows a
