Due to my previous chapter, here once again I'd like to say it once again... stopped the bullying! It's so sad about recently Korean artist suicide news got trending all around the world! So sad...
I just hope whoever out there, please do stopped the harassment to whoever you've been bullied now. You don't know how hard they trying to stay alive and don't ever be the trigger to put the bullet into their head. Don't let yourself be the reason to they intention to end their life...please... stopped that.
For those being bullied...please let someone knows about that. Don't keep it away because it will ruining your life. Think about something or someone you love, when you leave them behind. Think something or much better try to emigrated or take a break to repair yourself back.
I'm not the victim and not the trigger, not both, but as a human being, I am so sad about all that. I know it's not easy to stay alive and I did have a thought to end up my life to my own insecurities, even had a thought to injured myself but I did stopped it, while thinking about my family. What would happen if I left them just like that? How would they endured it? How would people talking about my late self, my family? Looks like I kill them slowly through my action...
Please...

To the chapter...
___________________________________________
When I'm out from my office, I saw that Adeena was already gone but she leaves behind her neatly organised piles into sections.
They were all in based of years and project piles. How did she managed to do that? Even, my previous consultant can't even handled all this and needed help from others and took her almost a week to finished everything.
I'm impressed...I do...but deeply inside, I hoped that she will be here tomorrow. The mission still not move from its spot so I need her to complete the mission. She's the only one who can help me.
My phone vibrating in my pocket.
Hmm...Julia?
"What?" I pick up the phone to answer her.
"Hey...are you busy?"
"Yeah. Why?" the tone I used totally will make any woman out there stopped whatever they did just to hearing it and put absolute focus on me.
"Nothing...just to check up on you..."
Nothing? When the woman says nothing...it's mean EVERYTHING!
Huh! So much the drama by saying it just to check on me or did she keep on her mind to our previous session?
"I got buried into my work so I'm busy... Exactly, what do you want, Julia?"
I standing there, putting my other hand into the pocket waiting to let her out her real intention.
"Have dinner with me tonight?"
Finally...I raised my eyebrows. Did she just trying to testing the waters?
"Dinner? Hmm...let me think..."
Sounds good to me!
"Why not but you pay."
"Not a problem." She agreed without waiting anything.
Seems she really put her determination to keep me on her side. Did she pass?
Huh, no!
To let you know...I'm not totally a gentlemen. If the woman wants to treats me with their money and body...I don't mind at all for their generosity. I could be anyone I like.
If I hate the woman I will ignored her and if I do like a woman...I'll let her stay within my reach and if I love a woman...totally I'm losing my mind to let her go away!
Which was...I didn't find the latter. Still on searching. Keeps my mind and soul finding their partner, correctly.
"I'll pick you up?" she suggests but I simply declined it.
"Why not?"
I could hear that she is sulking...
"I'll be staying at the office tonight. Tomorrow, I'll have some business to attend." more like tonight.
"What's business?"
"None of your concerned!"
I got annoyed when people asking me what my other business all about and I hate people who asked too many questions. They love to use their mouth instead of their brain. So unproductive!
But you used you d**k to catch a woman out there and you don't even complaint it!
B***h!
I scolded myself about my sex life.
"Okay...then I see you at the diner around 8 o'clock?"
"Yeah, sure..."
"Bye, Sam..."
"Yeah..."
I ended the call. The office slowly becoming empty and I just asked my PA to go home, don't have to wait up for me.
***
Just as promised, we did having a dinner together at her favourite place. I don't mind to eat anywhere but do mind to not to go everywhere after with her.
See that?
Talking about how our life changes did made her becoming more interested in me. She didn't put her shyness into her action and keep on glancing at me, flirting at me...
She extraordinary but not in my way...
Just a quick question:
Why did I don't distance myself from her if she's not the only one?
Well, she's might be useful in the future...
I didn't put an easement on her to gain her likes but more to prepare on something. My heart does the decision and I agreed on it.
The demon within me, had to wait patiently for him to find his soul mate but...he just did this morning. Urggh... stopped that!
No more reaction...
"Are you okay, Sam?"
Her hand wondered on the table before she placed it on my left hand. Squeezing it, I know what that means. Concern? She's concerned for her one night stand oh...more to her one morning stand...
Hm obviously, it's all about the bait. The stronger the bait, the bigger the fish you get.
So easy...and I just retreat my hand far from her reached. Why do I feel annoyed, suddenly?
"Just good. I need to get back to the office..."
"So soon?" she pouted like a girlfriend being left by her boyfriend, sulking away.
"I told you I've got plenty of works and had a business to take care tomorrow!"
"Okay...I pay for this.." her pink hand bag with so much beaded been placed on the table to show off that was one of the kind designed by her mother to the audience.
She took off some cash and called the waiter to pay.
"Good..."
With that, before the waiter came I standing buttoning the jacket, I walk confidently to the main entrance ignoring the ogling came from the ladies and jealousy from their boyfriend or companions.
I could see she's trying to catch up on me with her money, hand bag, heels and her floor length dress running to me but I was already outside, the valet gave me the keys and I jump into my driver seat and blew off away...
From my rear view mirror, I see her with her full self, stumped the floor frustrated. I bellowed with the laughter. She's funny because trying so hard to get my attention.
Back to my office, Kenzy and Nick already here. They ready of what's going on to put some bullet into someone chest.
The Austin mode ON.
"Everything's done." Nick said it while checking his customised weapons placed on the coffee table. Kenzy on the other hand, concentrated on his love story novel. What a weird combination here.
I pressed the hidden button under the chair and suddenly the door on the floor opened and revealed the passage way down to the secret room.
They didn't even care and continued with their concentration. Hmph...
Decreasing the stairs, the sensor took my present in and immediately the light consumed the darkness producing the hidden secret here. My second home. That is why I don't mind to go back home if I'm stuck into the works.
Changing into my casual attire, with bleached jeans, short sleeves plain t-shirt, a baseball cap, gloves and sneakers, I'm done!
My new trusted weapons I slide into the belt on my back and grabbed my leather jacket. Looks into the mirror, how handsomely I dress up like this.
I rolled my eyes disbelief with my own self.
Half an hour later the jet landing on my foreign country. I've got some business here.
After 45 minutes drive by the driver, we arrived at the mansion.
"He's inside..." Kenzy put on his serious face ignoring the stares from everyone, the maids especially...
We walked into the modern staircases to the upper floor. The elder laid bedridden looks so sick with the tubes and wires attached to his body.
He can't even talked but produce the code only for his secretary to find out the meaning behind each tapping like a Morse code.
"Welcome Mr. Austin...have a seat..." the secretary didn't even smiled. She'd hand gestures the maids and the doctors to leave us alone.
They scurried away didn't spared any glanced.
"Let's proceed..."
We waiting and the secretary placed down a pile on to the table. I opened the cover and it's reveal into something intriguing.
A gold! The pure gold. The first pure gold in the pictures from different angles.
"What's the catch?" I said it openly. Why should I wait for the introduction?
"One trillion for a head."
Kenzy and Nick at the back, gasped but for me it's still a number.
"Alive...bring her here..."
Her? Why so much cash just for her head?
She placed down again a pic of someone.
The Sameera girl!
What did she do until this people wants her alive? To catch her they easily put the number into the highest bidder.
"Are we the only one?" the question been uttered by Nick.
"You have only a month to settle this matter. If you failed, there will be someone willingly to get her for us."
Trying so hard to contain the uneasiness back into myself.
"Done!"
Expressionless, I grabbed those information on the table and secure it into my side.
"It's pleasure to having a business with you, Mr Austin."
"The pleasure is mine..."
Indeeds mine...
We're gone to another business. Kenzy and Nick do the business on my behalf. I couldn't put away my eyes from what I've obtained tonight.
She was the only one granddaughter of the first lady's pure gold founder.
Speechless.
That is why the Mason she's got as a name sounds familiar. Her great grandfather whom married to the first gold lady was one of the trusted son of the contributor. The first who willing put so much effort about the gold mine. And finally, they were the most richest people on the north region. Almost to the world.
Until today, they remaining as the richest and Sameera girl the only granddaughter she had today. Over the hundreds of years, they only produced sons into the generation and Sameera came into the family and getting the most intention from the elderly until without her realised, they gained so much enemies all over the world.
That's includes with, that mute old man.
Back to herself, how down to earth she was. Don't even displayed her richness to the public and keep her self hidden but not hidden enough. She's always gained the attention from her enemies.
That was why, on her resume, there was a gap a few years back. She's got into her almost fatal accident. They wanted her died.
But why?
