Chapter 17 - Back To Work

I woke up in the middle of the night and left the room when I got to the living room of my house I found out that my older brother had left. I went straight to the kitchen to get some water because I was thirsty.

While I was drinking I couldn't stop thinking about mom and dad who I don't know where they are now. I want to find them but I have to go back to work. I also need to focus on this because I will also find information about the massacre of us before in our mansion itself. I look at the time on the clock in the kitchen. even though I want to sleep because I still feel the weight of my body but I need to get ready because I also have to go to the agency early. I need to know what the mafia boss is doing now.

I have prepared myself to go to work. I am now wearing slocks and a black polo shirt. I went to my garage and chose my black BMW and drove to the agency. When I entered the agency, my best friend-Vanetta appeared as soon as I arrived.

"Hey bestie!" she happily greeted me. I just nodded at her and was about to walk away from her when she asked me. " Why weren't you there yesterday? Did something happen?"

"I was sick yesterday," I answered her.

"What?! How?! Are you okay?!" she's overreacting again.

"I'm fine, Vanetta. This is just over fatigue" I roll my eyes at her. Ugh, I'm getting annoyed with this girl.

"Just over fatigue?! Are you fucking serious? For your information, you can die for 'just over fatigue'!" she even raises her two fingers in front of me.

"I'm fine, Vanetta." I passed her because I have a lot more to read from my squad's report. When I entered my office, I immediately went straight to my office table even though I felt a presence when I entered the office.

"What are you doing here?" I seriously asked the person inside my office. She just laughed and adjusted herself on the sofa.

"Is that how you greeted your cousin, Neoma?" my cousin mocked. Tsk. What the hell is she doing here? What I don't like is someone coming into my office. She even looks comfortable on my sofa.

"Get out. I'm busy," I said to her. I started to read the reports and ignored her. I don't care about her anyway. Is she important? Well for my own mission-my answer is yes but if at the work-of course it's no.

She still didn't leave my office so I just left her on the sofa and continued reading the reports. While I was reading I saw my very own evil cousin looking around my office as if she don't know. I harshly dropped the papers I was holding and faced her.

"what do you need?" I asked her annoyed. I'm annoyed because I can't concentrate because of her. Because I know her every move and I won't let her get anything from me. She laughs like a crazy woman and faces me.

"Well, I don't need anything from you but you, you need something from me, my dear own Cousin." she laughed again and turns her back to leave. I frowned as I didn't understand what she said. I just continue reading the reports. After a while, someone knocks on my office door.

"Come in" the door opened and David came to the door. He smiled widely at me and went straight in front of my office table.

"Are you okay? I heard that you got sick yesterday, that's why you were absent" he start the conversation.

"I'm fine, David," I said to him while busy reading the reports. So many reports for today because-of course I was absent yesterday. He was so silent for minutes then he went to my sofa where my cousin was sitting like a queen earlier. He lay there and looked like he was going to sleep.

"Hey! If you are going to sleep here then get out!" I yelled at him and shot him a deadly glare.

"Tsk! You hate me so much and I can't sleep here on your sofa. I will sleep in your room office! Hehe!" suddenly he ran standing up from the sofa and went to a door that I use when I know I can't go home and that's where I sleep.

"David!!" I stood up in no time and walked into the room. I saw him lying on the bed I was laying here and from where I was standing I could already hear his snoring as if he was already asleep. I just sighed because of his stubbornness. I closed the door because I can see the dark circle around his eyes it looks like he's stayed up all night. I go back to my sit and I returned to my seat and started to make a plan for tomorrow.

I looked up when I saw David rubbing his eyes while leaving the room where he slept. He smiled at me when he saw me and he went in front of me.

"It's night already. Did you eat?" he asked me so I looked at the clock in my office and I found out that it was late and it seemed like it took me a few hours to make a plan for tomorrow because I have to finish it now. After all, tomorrow it won't be difficult for me to think of a plan. it's better to be early than late.

"Not yet." he shrugged his shoulder and invite me for dinner. I just nodded and stood up because I just felt hungry because I was so focused on what I was doing that I didn't realize the time and the dinner. We left the agency and search for a restaurant where we can eat.

After we search for a restaurant, David ordered food for us. I'm not picky when it comes to food so I let him choose what I eat. when the order came we ate but while we were eating I felt like someone was watching us. I simply looked around and saw the man I saw that night in the building.
