Chapter 2 - Chapter Two

"How is the company doing" he stared at me, waiting for my reply. "The company is fine, we are doing great" I replied, from my observation I knew he had something to say to me. "Hmm.." Was the only response I got. 'There's definitely something on his mind' I thought to myself.

"Dad, do you have something to say to me?" I asked as I couldn't keep it in any more. "I heard from my source that you rejected a contract with the helix group, without even listening to their proposal" He looked serious while saying what he said. "Dad I get that been in partnership with the helix group would bring a lot of profit and our company tends to skyrocket to the top. but I asked my investigator to investigate the company and I found it they have a record at illegal dealing.

"Amber, you should know that sometimes the most unlikely alliance leads to the greatest breakthrough. You have to do everything to get back that deal" he stared at her for a while before concentrating on the food served.

"I would do my best to get the deal secured" I reassured him like I did in the board meeting. "That's my girl" he gave me a smile, which made me feel at ease.

After dinner we both went to our separate cars but not after basing goodbye, I thanked for the meal which got a 'I wouldn't want to grow grey hair while waiting for you to have dinner with me' response which resorted into a heart warming laughter. "Goodbye dad"I planted a kiss on his cheek before leaving for my car which was just a mike a way from his.

Inside the car I kept thinking on what and how I would convince the helix group into giving us the contract after I rejected them. " Well not to worry, I would put David on the task" I said to myself .

David mayor is my personal assistant who handle all my meetings and some document in my absence, while Stacey Kruger is my secretary the one always handling my schedule and other important stuffs relating to work.

I got home to dinner already prepared, I felt bad for not ringing mercy to tell her I would be eating out with my father. "Mercy.mercy" I called out mercy's name. "Yes ma'am, I'm right here ma" she replied at my second call. "I'm so sorry that I didn't rung you to tell you I would be eating out, you can have the food or better still share it with the other employees" I told her.

"Ma there is no need to be sorry about it, it's my job and that what I'm doing" she said in a calm tone. "Even at that I should stress you out" I said sincerely sorry that I had her prepare I meal I wouldn't even have a taste of.

Mercy is like a mother to me, she was I and Ethan nanny when we were still tender. Seeing that there was a lot of staff at my dads place and also Ethan was transferred to a boarding school during his high school, period, I pleaded with my dad to let Mrs mercy work for me which he agreed to after much persuasion.

"Amber you don't need to bother, you just came back from work so please go and rest. Also I already prepared your bath for you" she smiled sweetly at me. "Awwnn thank you so much Mrs mercy". "It's my pleasure" she said before heading back to what she was doing.

Going up into my room, I had a refreshing bath which was very soothing. I was so pleased having someone like Mrs mercy by my side, all knowing what to do. I laid on my bed while scrolling through my video. Soon enough I was dragged into a wonderland.

Alexander P.O.V

"Alex, you need to chill out okay" Liam beckoned his friend. "Ahhh..." He yelled as he threw everything off his table. "I need to catch that bastard" he yelled as he kept on throwing very thing that comes in his part. "Alex you need to stop this. We are gonna catch them" liam assured. "Fine.." He grunted as he sat down on his chair while swirling it around. "Boss we've got a... lead"Gerald announced.

"Let me see what you all have got" liam said as he strode towards his office door. "Uhmm send the cleaners to clean my office" liam said to gerald, before leaving for his private elevator. "Ahh.. Why me" Gerald mumbled as he tried not to step on any of the broken glasses which he missed and fell right on top of it. "Ouch... Liam can you be less of a pain in the ass" Gerald said to himself.

"Boss you're here. Here is some information we have on the lead"One of his security guards said to him. " Nice job... So where are the paintings right now" he questioned as he scrolled through the photo of all the paintings.

"Bad news we don't know where he is or who he's working for, and the good news is that paintings was found in an auction house. The painting would be auctioned at the forum auction house in pavilion. Auction is starting 8pm tomorrow, so we ought to be there before then." ryder announced as he patted liam shoulder.

"I want you to make sure you get that painting at all cost" liam stated to ryder before walking out of the underground basement.

*** His house ****

"Bro you need to chill out, we've found the painting even though we haven't found the bastard" liam said as he poured himself some whiskey and also some for Alex too.

"Liam.. I just have this felling that.." He trailed in his words as heis phone ringing tone disrupted the conversation. "Hello. Yes, no he is of no use so dispose him" he said to the other person at the other end of the phone before hanging up. "Who was that?" Liam questioned as he swirl his drink slowly. "No one, just that useless piece of human we capture for some inside information" Alex said, now clearly pissed again.

"Well, I would leave you to rest up for tomorrow" liam grabbed his drink and downed it all in one go. "Good night Alex" he bade goodbye before going to his car packed outside.
