Chapter 73

After she left, Rex sent for Ray and he ran into the office in less than 5 seconds.
"You called for me sir"he said bowing his head. He had been waiting for his boss to call him after he saw Katherine walk away with red face. " Boss is not in his right mind anymore " he said to himself and felt stupid that he informed Rex of the dirty man.


"I have an assignment for you" Rex said resting his back on the chair.

"What do you need my help for sir" Ray asked.

"Someone is threatening my life,I want you to trace the man that came today or do whatever you think is possible to have him trailed,He might lead you to the person. He seemed to know the person with the way he was acting then but i also wonder why he came all the way here to tell me that. Make sure to report to me every little step the man make.
If possible, take pictures and Videos when necessary. Nothing must be left out!" he said stressing every word.

Ray felt like a bombshell just landed on him! His boss was being threatened? Seeing the reaction of Rex toward the matter made him realize the urgency and the weight of the matter. "Okay sir. I shall pull all strings and I'll make sure I get you the person" Ray said with determination in his voice.

Rex raised an eyebrow and nodded his head in agreement with Ray. He trusted Ray and knew his capabilites. So, he wasn't worried about how the work would be done because he knew it would be done perfectly.

"That's all" He muttered and ordered him to leave but he stopped him before he cpild even turn to leave.. "and one more thing Ray, I don't want this spreading. You know this is a matter of my life, right?"he said, giving Ray a knowing look.

"Yes sir" Ray said and rushed out of the office.

Rex sat back as the words of the man kept on playing in his head
"Someone is after your life"that sentence kept on ringing in his mind like a rhyme...

**********
Rex arrived at his home and sat down on the couch,today had been so stressful for him and he needed a cool bath and a long rest to get his mind to function well again.
He had never been so moved by a threat before. This was different and he hated it.
He relaxed is back on the couch and buried his face in his hands. " Argh!" He groaned silence.

Then, one of his maid walked over to him stood beside him, holding a box
"Sir, someone left a package for you"she said bowing her head.

"The package is from who?"he said, not raising his head to look at the maid.

"We don't Know sir"she said.

"Take it up to my room"he said sternly

"Ok sir"she bowed and left to carry the box to his room but then he changed his mind " Did the security check the box?" He asked the maid and she turned back.
" Yes sir. They said it's a robotic toy." She replied.
Rex frowned a little and then smirked " A robotic toy?" He muttered and his smirk widened. He could already guess what it was and he could only smirk at the act.
Rex stared at the box for a while and picked his phone to call Ray.
"Any information?" Rex asked with curiosity in his voice and with hope in his stoic mind. He really was so desperate to know who was after his life and the identity of the person. He needed to know it in order to learn more about his hidden enemy.

There was silence at the other end of the call for a while before Ray decided to reply but his silence already gave Rex his reply. "No Information yet sir and the man is dead"

" Really? He is dead?"Rex asked as his lips curved up in a devillish smile. " Did you see who killed him?" He asked.

" Yes and we tried to capture them but they shot themselves in the head and died before we were able to capture them. " Ray replied.

" Wow!" Rex was impressed at the competency of his killer. " I need information as soon as possible"Rex said and ended the call there.
" Now, let's check what he sent!" He mumbled to himself.

Rex stood up and walked to his room, when he entered he saw the box on his desk
"Wondering who you are but you are quite impressive. "he said, unwrapping the box.
He picks up the short letter which said"BE CAREFUL"

This made Rex smile as he tore the letter and picked the content of the box.
It was a toy,he turned on the action figure toy and it started talking

"DON'T TRY TO FIND OUT WHO I AM IF YOU WANT TO BE SAFE"then the toy turned off..

Rex was so amused that he burst out laughing as if he just saw the best joke of his life.. the person might think he was threatening Rex not knowing that he was just making a fool out of himself and he was making Rex learn more about him.

"Why his he being a kid and hiding his identity,he should face me like a real man"he said, dropping the toy on the table and he moved away..

Rex was so amused at the stupidity of the one threatening his life. He wanted to into more about the person and putting together all he had done for today, Rex believed he already knew some things about the man and that might help him plan in the future.

He pulled his clothes, still smiling. revealing his bare and attractive chest,his masculine figure was so attractive,no one could wonder such a cold man could be this good looking... if only he could use his looks in his business... he would really become a monster who would be really untouchable!.

He pulled off his entire clothes and went into the shower..
"Aggggh, firstly Katherine came into the picture and now someone sending me life threats"he said like he was telling a funny story to the cold water hitting his body like needles.

After taking a long cold shower he felt a little relaxed but no matter how much he tried to forget it, the threat kept on ringing in his head and he really wanted to meet the person. A part of him felt Katherine was behind this but he doubted it once more.
"I keep on doubting,it can't be her she wouldn't do such just to acclaim power, but I'm still not taking chances"he said and picked up his phone to call Ray.
"Monitor Katherine for some time,I have a feeling she might have something to do about the threat,after all she's is my opponent and can do anything to get the position. Also, find out if she is getting some threat messages too... I'm having this feeling that the threat might actually have something to do with the company." He said and ended the call.

"I understand sir" Ray replied.

"Good" he said and the call ended.

Rex couldn't sleep well, not because of the threat but because he was anxious to know who was threatening him.
***
Katherine was boiling in anger as she recalled what happened earlier today.
"He's so full of himself, he just made a fool out of me"she said to herself as she was gallivanting around in her room.

She hated his guts,he never lost an opportunity to belittle her, thinking she wasn't capable which made her mad.

She wasn't going to let go of that position,if for any reason but to prove him wrong.

***
ken sat dejectedly about to make a video to declare he was just trying to frame and defame Rex.
"Hello everyone I'm here to make a confession,I actually framed Rex,I was just trying tarnish his image.." he was talking like a robot who was forced to talk. He wanted to make it look like Rex had forced him to it so that he could make a comeback later and deny the video.
At that moment Katherine walked in and frowned when she saw what ken was doing.
"What are you doing?" She asked with a raised brow.
"I'm just making a confession, wasn't that what you said Rex took in exchange to release me from jail?" He asked, a little annoyed. Not at Katherine actually but at Rex who was taking advantage of his situation.

"You still don't believe me when I say I did nothing for Rex to get you released,you have known me for a long time, have I ever acted like a slut because you keep on thinking I gave Rex my body in exchange for him to release you" she said flaring up, she hated the fact that he didn't believe her. He didn't say it but the look in his eyes was that of a father that lost his daughter to a wild beast and she hated it. Rex wasn't a beast... ( winks)
