Chapter 24 - Inception

"What do you mean I've been eliminated?"

The gentle breeze moved the binds and tiny specks of dust seemed to dance in the shaft of afternoon sunlight that slanted through the window.

"You can't just make decisions by yourself. What was that? Corruption? Sir, let me ask you respectfully," Naveah moved closer to his desk and placed her hands on it.

"Are you out of your mind? Or did you mistake me for someone else?" She stared at the officer.

"Talking to me in that manner can also be added to the reasonings. Anyway, we've found out you have a connection with the mafia and leaked our inner information." David placed his elbows on the table " And the way your investigation is processing makes me suspect you."

"WHAT are you saying, officer David??? Are you saying I might be the one going around killing people just because I'm taking time? Heh....unbelievable!" Naveah smirked in disbelief while looking away.

"I didn't particularly say it's you, just a mere assumption." (David)

"Where's the evidence? Show me the proof " (Naveah)

"You're asking now? The files are already in front of you." (David)

Naveah opened the files and gasped as she couldn't believe what she was seeing. The pictures of her getting inside the mansion that night and some photography of Oliver and her, talking on the roof.

"Cat got your tongue now? Ms Tylar not only did you communicate with them, but you also presented a false confession. So Please watch yourself out of the PBI and lead a normal life. You're fired." (David)

Naveah turned around in silence to leave as she had no mindset of arguing more. She stopped for a moment in front of the door, "Since I'm leaving anyway, let me tell you something" Naveah glanced at him from her right shoulder "You're disgusting you old hag." she slammed the door and left.

Naveah walked through the hallway whole hearing the noises from downstairs! "At least they're happy," She sighed while taking off her badge.

Samantha noticed Naveah coming this way so she called out to her "Naveeee!!"

Naveah waved back. "congratulations, you love birds!"

"Where have you been? We were looking for you." (Nick)

"The officer called for a little work." Naveah shrugged.

"So did you guys plan on your wedding date yet?"(Naveah)

"Let's talk about it over food. I'm starving." (Samantha)

IN NAVEAH'S HOUSE-

"We could've eaten in a restaurant or something you know?"(Samantha)

"Why would we do that when there's already someone who can cook? Dig in " Naveah passed the dishes.

"Did you get any missions yet?" Nick asked.

"Not yet. I will, probably soon. Well, it's not half bad you know. I can relax for the time being. What about your marriage date? Hmm~?" Naveah suspiciously looked at them.

"Right after catching the culprit. So help us catch him as soon as possible, won't you Navee?" (Nick)

Samantha froze for a moment before looking at them "What're you saying? Of course, I will! Did you forget what I said the first day? I will put my life on the line to bring him out in public."

IN ZANE'S OFFICE-

Emmi's staring at Zane who's busy signing the documents.

She finally opened her mouth saying "M-mam, I'd like to ask an off-topic question,"

"Go on, It's better than drilling a hole in me by staring." He said while reading a document.

"Are you dating Ms Naveah now?" (Emmi)

"Yes, can't you tell by observing last time?" (Zane)

"Yes but she's not aware of your true self. What if s-" She stopped talking when she saw Zane glaring at her with his light blue eyes.

"Who said you could discuss my personal life? Don't overstep your bounds and stay away from Naveah or I'll get rid of you too." Zane's sinister tone made Emmi flinch.

"I apologize, but I'm simply worried for you master!" Emmi sounded tense.

"Get out! There's no need for you here now. I'll call you if there's anything necessary."(Zane)

After Emmi left the room he called Naveah.

"Are You coming over today?" (Zane)

"...Sigh..no, not today. I have a lot to discuss with you but I can't today." (Naveah)

"I see. Don't forget tomorrow's date. I'll pick you up at 11."(Zane)

"Sure, then see you tomorrow"(Navee)

"Did you know you sound sexy in phone calls? I would suck you dry over the phone if I could," (Zane)

A loud crashing sound was heard over the phone "W-what are you saying so suddenly?! I'm hanging up!" Naveah hung up while blushing. "Jeez, what's with her? Always talking cheesy."

"I wonder how she'll react if I tell her about it. Will she threaten that old hag for me?" Naveah thought to herself when she suddenly remembered tomorrow's date.

"Ahh!! Date, date.....OH NO! Are we doing that tomorrow?? I don't know how girls do it, maybe google will help. Better safe than sorry. Just a peek won't make me a pervert.

THE NEXT MORNING-

After hearing the sound of a car parking Naveah looked out the window and saw Zane getting out of the car.

"Tessa!! I'm ready, let's go!"

Zane dazed at Naveah with his eyes widened. He was mesmerised by her braided short hair and baby-blue dress with glossy nails.

"Naveah can I kiss you?" (Zane)

"Huh..! Wh-" Before she could answer Zane pulled her by the waist and kissed her for straight one minute.

Zane started his car with a red bruise on his forehead where Naveah hit him to make him stop.

"Who does that before going somewhere?? I was out of breath, now my lipstick is smudged!!" Naveah sounded angry.

"I thought I'll lose it if I don't take my chance now. You're too beautiful, I can't hold myself back. (Zane)

"Ok, Thanks not, your highness!" Naveah nodded.

"Pff, What's with your consent? It's cute." He chuckled.

"Why don't you just concentrate on driving now? Sigh...anyway, I got fired from the department yesterday." Naveah leaned on the window.

"What are you saying? They fired you?" (Zane)

"....Yeah for corruption or whatever." (Naveah)

"I see...That's too bad!" Zane's blue eyes reflected on the car mirror as his lips curled into a slight smirk when Naveah was looking outside the window.
