Kelly's POV We checked- in in a hotel. We don't have a choice. Luke doesn't want us to go back yet to the condo and neither I do. I won't be able to sleep in that room tonight after what happened. I can still remember the drone with a small light. There was a camera in that drone and someone saw body. It's so scary and creepy. All I can think about is that drone and what Pierce has been. doing while I was trembling in fear.
I couldn't accept it. While he's fcking his woman, I was screaming in horror. Even now, I still feel very anxious. I feel like there are eyes everywhere, watchingsecretly.
"I called for food. You should still eat, Miss." I looked at Luke. "Did you call the security of the condo tower?" "Yes, miss. I asked for a copy of the surveillance video around the tower. The unit is on the fourth floor so there's a 50 percent chance that the culprit is outside the building." "The other 50 percent?" He clenched his jaws. "The possibility that he's one of the residents and he's executing his crwhile he's inside his unit. We will catch him if the drone. was caught in the surveillance video." I looked down and pinched my fingers took a deep breath and opened my eyes again. "Don't tell anyone." "Miss..." "Not even a single person, besides the police, would know this, Luke. Especially not him." "I understand, Miss." Luke kept his word. The next day, he sentto the company and did not tell anyone. He left after sendingto the company to personally get the copy of the surveillance video and check the unit. He cback before lunch and stayed in front of my office, guarding me, drawing attention. In the end, I let him in my office while I'm working.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIt was after lunch when Chris visited me. He froze when he saw Luke standing besidewhile we're both watching the surveillance video on my laptop.
I even saw my assistant's eyes widened when she sawand Luke in that. position. I don't care about what they're thinking because there's no malice. with my relationship with Luke. He's my driver and ow my bodyguard too. "Uh... C-Can I...cin?" I nodded at Chris. Luke immediately gave us privacy. He left and stood in front of my office again. Chris on the other hand seemed bothered. He kept on glancing at Luke through the glass door as he sat on the chair in front of my table.
"You have a photoshoot, right?" I asked to get his attention.
He immediately gavea sweet smile. "The shoot for today is done. I just... cto ask how you are." "I'm fine, Chris." flickered with w His eyes "You collapsed at the party, Kelly. I followed you to the hospital but Pierce Anderson stopped me. He..." he paused and laughed.
My forehead creased. "What?" He grinned. "He said you're married to him. I think he's still angry with me. He's still overprotective of you just like before." I swallowed hard. Damn you, Pierce! "Don't mind him," I said and smiled.
"Yeah..." he paused and glanced at Luke behind the closed door again. "I see now why you rejectedagain." My lips parted. He thought I had a romantic relationship with Luke. I want to correct him but I think it would be better to let him think that way. If he thinks I have a thing with Luke, he won't try to courtagain. I just really see him as at friend and nothing more. I don't under when I'm constantly rejecting him.
"So, I should take a leave. I cthinking about having dinner with you but I He's gruseth Watche think you have a dinner date already." "Chris..." He smiled. "Don't worry about me, Kelly. will move on. For real this time. Thank you for makinghappy again." I chewed my bottom lip as I watched him leave. He even patted Luke's shoulder and grinned at him before he left completely. I know him. He's hurt. but he's still smiling.
This is the mystery of love. Why do we fall in love with the person who's in love with someone else? Why not with the person who's in love with us too? How complicated! Luke entered again and I stared at his face. He stopped in front of the door when he sawstaring. His handsface and dark aura is not a joke. He doesn't look like a driver slash bodyguard and now I know why Chris thought I'm in a relationship with this man.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmI sat on my swivel chair again and we continued examining the surveillance. video. In the end, we didn't find anything. It seems like the culprit knows where the surveillance cameras are and he was smart enough not to get caught.
"He must be resident in the condo, miss," Luke said after he stood straight beside me.
I looked up at him. "Do we have to knock on every door or use my connection to get the nof every resident?" He shook his head. "Leave it to me, miss. I will find a way." "How?" His dark eyes remained blank as he stared at nothing in particular and answered.... "He will show himself...eventually." My forehead creased. I stared at his blank face and jumped in shock when my phone suddenly rang, interrupting us.
I immediately picked up the call as I cleared my throat... "Hello?" [Kelly?] "Grams?" Yes, honey. Can you visitin my house, please? I feel sad. Let's talk.] I squeezed my eyes closed. I feel like she's gonna convince
[Oh! Thank you, honey. Thank you so much. You don't know how happy you made me. I'm expecting you at dinner tthe day after tomorrow, okay? Don't be late! I will cook your favorite food.] I chuckled happily and nodded. "Yes, grams. I missed you and your dish too.
See you."
I felt disappointed with myself as soon as the call ended. I palmed my forehead and squeezed my eyes NO closed again. God! I should tell the truth when we meet. I couldn't lie to her anymore.
