The cargo they had been looking for was on one of the docked cargo ships. When they cut open the lock on the shipment their hearts dropped.
It wasn't drugs but young girls with the oldest being nineteen and the youngest eight. They were someone's daughter, someone's sister, niece or cousin but in the hands of this brute they would be ruined and their families would never know what happened to them.
Police commissioner Aldric pushed his hair back his face filled with hatred. Why should a person like this be allowed to live when he was just a menace to society?
He took out his cell phone and saw that the message he sent had already been read but the person didn't reply.
He decided to write another message to him thanking him for his help. Some families would be very happy to have their loved ones back.
Leif who was walking from the kitchen with a flask of warm water heard his cell phone buzz and his step moved aside causing him to kick one of the gift bags accidentally.
A red lace thing fell out and Leif picked it up to put it back but his curiosity was piqued. He couldn't figure out whether it was a dress and if it was where did the hands, feet or head go? It was quite confusing.
He didn't think about it much thus he put it back where he found it and went back upstairs.
Unfortunately for him once he was curious about something he wouldn't stop until he found out what that thing was. His mind would often wonder where what goes and this curiosity continued till the next morning.
With a steaming cup of coffee, he stared at the gift box that was staring at him as though mocking him. He wasn't interested in seeing anyone in it but he just wanted to know what really goes where. Like an annoying itch in his brain, it came bothering him.
He looked up the stairs checking if there was any movement upstairs and after confirming that there wasn't he got up and picked up the gift bag and looked at the tag.
It was a cut out underwire garter lingerie. It came as a set with other things inside but he didn't care to know what they were.
He put it back where he found it and typed in the search engine of his laptop the name of the lingerie as on the tag.
The internet was especially direct showing shopping options on the top with the exact lingerie set as the one in the gift bag just different colours.
Leif's brows arched when he figured out where what goes. How could this be comfortable to wear? It looked like it was quite uncomfortable at a glance. There had to be some chaffing and skin irritation. Well, that's at least what he saw, unlike most men who would be appreciating beauty.
"Wow, I didn't think president Carnell would be watching porn in the middle of the day. Interesting," said Quinn while leaning against the second-floor rails.
Unlike what she expected Leif didn't panic. He turned his head back and looked at her from below. When he saw how big the skirt she was wearing was his brows furrowed.
He thought that assigning Lars the job to get Quinn clothes wouldn't be a problem. Apparently, he bought two sizes bigger making her look like a kid in adult clothes.
"I need to get you new clothes," he said and Quinn waved her sleeves that were hanging low while saying,
"It is fine. I will go to my apartment and get some clothes," she said while leaning closer to check what he was looking at.
Leif didn't have a problem with it. In fact, he asked, "Why did they gift you such a thing?"
Quinn, "..."
Was this man dumb, impotent or just asexual? It had to be one of the three. Since Leif wasn't dumb then Quinn wisely chose impotent. Why? It was because this man wasn't even moved by that mean girls type of girl in his office the other day. Even she who was ninety nine per cent straight found her attractive yet Leif was even upset when she mentioned her.
After this situation, she was sure of her hypothesis. "If you want, I can wear it for you sometime," she said and Leif looked at her with a look that seemed to say 'no thank you'.
Quinn wasn't done messing with him though. She leaned a little closer and he, of course, moved away.
"Tsk, come closer so I can enlighten you," she said pinching his sleeve and pulling him closer but Leif was like a big boulder refusing to move.
"You can enlighten me from all the way there," he said while moving away.
"It's for my husband... you know, to spice up things in the bedroom," she explained referring to his first question.
Leif who was the husband in this scenario, well, the fake husband didn't like that idea. He suddenly wanted to burn it all.
He didn't want to hear all this but her teasing nature couldn't help but spring up again. The only other person she messed with all the time was Liam. But ever since she met Leif she was terrified but still had this urge to mess with him. It was like having the urge to touch a burning flame, you know you are going to get burnt but you still want to touch it.
"They also gave me a whip, handcuffs and ball gag," she said lying through her teeth but she forgot she was talking to a novice.
"Why would anyone need that? What's even a ball gag?" he naively asked and Quinn wasn't going to tell. She folded her arms on her chest and said,
"You have Wi-Fi, right? Search for it," she said and Leif did. The result?
Well, let's just say the president's face didn't look good at all. He was so mad that he refused her to eat the breakfast he made. Thus Quinn had to watch Leif eating a hearty breakfast while watching.
"Uh... this is abusing your employees. I am seriously hungover and you won't even give me a bite," she complained and despite his face being indifferent there was a flash of something in his eyes like he was in an excellent mood. Talk about rejoicing in other people's suffering.
