Meanwhile, Fabian was in his hotel room dressed in his bathrobes with his lady secretary lying on the bed in the other room, which he could clearly see through the glass.
Fabian was having a cup of brandy in his hand as he sat on one of the sofas looking at his laptop, which had many photos of Taya walking through public places taken from secret cameras.
??
He literally went through every photo he had on her but couldn't find the mystery lover she was talking about. Even if he couldn't verify her words, his guts were telling him that she definitely had one based on how serious her words were.
As he searched and searched, the more his expression was becoming wild with frustration. In fact, the moment he returned, he had trashed his whole room, venting his rage upon learning that the woman he was pursuing already was passionately in love with someone else.
All these years, he thought he had the best chance seeing how he never saw a man beside her and didn't feel as if she was the type to meet with her lover secretly. After all, if she had a lover, why would she feel the need to hide him.
Even if her lover was nothing special or a beggar, it wouldn't matter much considering how she could easily elevate his status to a whole new level. So, he didn't feel as if that was the reason but something else.
He then angrily took out his phone and dialed a number. Within moments the other side picked up the phone and answered in a timid voice, "Director...to what do I owe—"
"Shut up! You dare to talk after you failed a simple task I gave you? Do you have any idea how much heat I had to face because all those men died? And you still can't find out who killed all those men?" Fabian asked in a dark tone, unable to make heads and tails himself about the death of more than a dozen highly trained men which he was entrusted with.
"Director, please forgive me! I planned everything perfectly, but I never thought that something would have happened to them. I never knew nor did I get any messages from them," The man said in a tense tone.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtFabian snorted, "Hmph, you better hope your family still stays alive lest Lord Phoenix vents his wrath on them."
"No! Director, please! I beg you. I will do anything! Please tell him to have mercy on my family, please!" The man bitterly pleaded, but Fabian's expression remained unmoved as he scoffed, "As if someone as powerful as him has the time and energy to worry about a nobody like you. But this will be your last fuck-up. Because next time, I will personally finish you off."
"Of course, of course! Director, you can trust me! I swear on my family!" The man frantically replied.
"Anyway, for now, you stay put and keep an eye on her and report to me every single detail no matter how trivial. Also, take special note of any man she meets and talks to. This is most important!" Fabian said in a forceful tone before cutting the call.
"Ah, about that...yesterday, she seemed very close to a young man. But weirdly, I am unable to remember his face. But they were hugging each other as if they couldn't stay away from each other."
"What?!!" Fabian fumed as he smashed the glass of brandy on the floor. The man on the other end felt scared and decided not to provide any more details lest he gets angrier.
Thinking about the fact that Taya was hanging out with a younger guy when she called him a 'boy who lost his way' only made his nerves quiver in rage even more.
Fabian gritted his teeth as he asked, "How could you be stupid enough to forget someone's face within a day? Were you fucking drunk?"
"I-I don't know. Maybe I just had too much to drink yesterday, but no matter how hard I tried, I can't remember him. Please forgive me."
Fabian snorted, "Leave it. Did you just say that Taya was acting close with a man, a young one at that? Who is he??"
"He is her ex-brother-in-law, but they still acted close even if their families separated. It seemed like those two had quite a history," The man didn't want to tell all these details, but he was afraid he might suffer worse consequences if he hid away the truth.
"Impossible!" Fabian couldn't believe what he just heard, especially when he never heard of Taya having a brother-in-law all these years.
So he couldn't but wonder whether Taya's lover was this younger man having ties with her from before he even met her.
He clenched his fists and said in a grim tone, "I want you to find his identity, whereabouts including where he lives and his loved ones, everything!"
"I tried...b-but Taya has her lips shut tight about this matter, saying that she doesn't want to discuss the topic any further. In fact, she seemed quite cold when I asked this question along with others. I feel as if she might be suspecting something. What should I do if she catches on to me??"
"Pha, useless! You can't even leverage your so-called friendship with hers that was built upon so many years," Fabian's eyes then shone with an ominous glint as he said, "Nevermind. I now know what to do."
Fabian cut the call immediately and then called up another number, "Number 3 is done serving his purpose. Please take care of him subtly and make sure no eyes are nearby...and if there is...close them as well."
"Fuck!" Fabian threw his phone on the sofa right after ending the call as veins popped in his temples.
Suddenly he heard the door of the bedroom opening and saw his secretary, a beauty with only a sheet around her naked body, walking towards him with a concerned look.
She saw his sour expression and kneeled down before him to slowly lift the towel laying over his dick.
"Director...let me make you feel good…" She said in a seductive voice as she let go of the sheet around her body, revealing her completely naked body with her boobs out.
But just as she was about to grab his dick, Fabian slapped away her hand, "Get out of my sight, Tresa! Can't you see that I have no mood for this?!"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmTresa panicked as her expression became pale and stumbled back as she placed her hand on her reddened cheek, "Forgive me! I was being presumptuous."
*TING!*
Suddenly, Fabian heard a voice call notification on his laptop, and when he saw the caller ID, his eyes widened. He immediately got up and grabbed Tresa's arm as he dragged her towards the front door.
"Director!" Tresa managed to grab a sheet in panic but didn't resist.
"Get out! Now is not the time for you to be here!" Fabian pushed her out of the room without even bothering about the fact that she was half-naked.
He quickly locked the door and rushed back towards his laptop to take the call, that was like a life and death call for him.
