Cheslea waved her hands and said goodbye to Jayme, her CEO. She was worried about her since Drake ran away along with the budget entrusted to him. She wanted to swim in the sea and looked for them.
She stepped inside the company and left Jayme outside. Her eyes focused on the place but her mind was on her plan to know the exact location of Drake.
She walked to the CCTV room and asked the operator to check if Drake secretly passed through the company. The operator responded with a nod and started playing the footage.
"It was last week footage and he didn't show up at every side of the company. Even at the back door." The operator informed her.
"So he had been absent since last week. Anyway, thank you Sir. Jack." She mumbled and strolled outside the room.
She just sighed and walked to the hallway. She didn't need to come to her work since Jayme was off for today. Also, she did what her boss told.
But then the man showed up in front of her and smirked when she was in deep thoughts. He stopped her track and pulled her closer.
She gasped when a toned body hit her head. She glanced at it and it was the supervisor of the company, Eliezer Bautista.
She pulled away and looked elsewhere to hide her forming blush through her cheeks. She took a deep breath and caressed her side hair.
"Sir. Bautista, w-what are you doing here?" She asked.
He watched her actions and chuckled at her stunned look. He pulled out his identification card and showed it to her.
"I work here, Miss Ali." She mumbled.
She sighed in defeat and knew that he was teasing her. Then, she glanced at him and needed his help since Eliezer has lots of connections.
"Mr. Bautista, are you busy after work?" She asked innocently.
Eliezer smiled and walked closer to her which caused Cheslea to be taken aback. She touched his chest to stop him.
"Are you asking me out, Miss Ali?"
Her eyes widened and hit his head. She realized her words and he kept teasing her. He just grinned and pushed away.
"I'm not asking you out, Mr. Bautista. I need your help so I'm asking you if you are busy after work."
"Well, I'm not busy today, so I'm available."
"Great. Wait… Jayme was out for today so I'm also free for today since I canceled all her meetings. We can leave now and help me."
"Okay, if that's what you want. I'll get my things and wait for you at the main door." He said and walked away.
She cocked her head on the side, confused from his actions. He didn't have second thoughts to help her. And it was the first time. She shrugged and strolled upstairs. Then, picked up her bag and stepped outside the office.
She walked straight to the elevator and got inside. After a minute, she reached the ground floor and strolled outside. She saw Eliezer, who was waiting for her.
She smiled and walked outside the company. Then, she patted his shoulder to get his attention. He looked away to hide his blush when Cheslea suddenly smiled widely.
"Let's go!"
She grabbed his wrist and walked towards his car. Chelsea knew his car so it was easy to find it. They stood in front of his car and he was stunned.
"Open it, Eli." He said.
"Eli?"
"We aren't in the office so I can call you that…"
He chuckled and responded with a nod. They've been friends since Cheslea was in third year college while Eliezer was in fourth year college. They didn't go to the same school but they met at the event.
"Hurry up! Open your car, Eli!"
"Okay… chill down, Ches. You're very impatient." He uttered and opened the car.
She stepped inside the passenger seat and Eliezer hopped inside the driver seat. He glanced at Cheslea and asked, "where do you want to go?"
"You have connections so I need your help by tracking down Drake."
"Drake? The one who ran away from the project along with the budget?"
"Yes, he was. And I want to track him down."
"How will you track him down if someone's hacker was helping him? Do you think you'll find him?"
She glanced at him and sighed. He was right, someone was helping him and removed all the devices that could track him down. However, she wasn't giving up so easily.
"We'll check the footage of every CCTV in town. Can you help me with that, Eli?"
He sighed loudly and nodded to her plan. She smiled and pulled him closer to an embrace. She was happy Eliezer was willing to help her.
"Thank you for the help, Eli. I really want to save our company so Jayme doesn't need to face the CEO of Martin Enterprises." She mumbled and hugged him tightly.
He knew their CEO suffered a lot so it was the only help they could do. Tracking the traitor and putting him in jail. He pulled away from the embrace and ruffled her hair.
"You also suffered a lot, Ches. If something happened to the company, please… don't leave us, okay?"
She responded with a nod and smiled. "This company is my comfort zone so I'll never leave this place. I promise."
"That's good to hear. Anyway, I'll contact my friend from the headquarters so he could help us, okay?"
"Noted…"
