Chapter 149- Webs Of Secrets
HARDIN'S POV
As I drove back to the office I couldn't help but think back to the information Mr James filled me on.
The Henry's were also one of the biggest jewelry families in this country and worldwide. But I didn't know that woman. Was that why she was looking at me when we met at that bakery?
I stopped in front of the company and got out of the car as I walked into the building.
I got into the elevator and pressed the button for our floor as I patiently waited for the elevator to reach our floor.
I stepped out of the elevator and walked to my boss's office but I stopped when I heard shouting coming from inside.
I quickly opened the door as I ran to the man holding her in a tight grip and pulled his hand and without warning I threw a punch on his face as he fell to the ground.
“ Oh my God! Hardin!" Miss Miller said as she held my hand when I was about to go at him again,
“ He's not worth your time, stop," she said as she patted my back trying to calm me down,
“ Get out of my office Alex! And don't ever come back, I swear if I see you anywhere near me I'll be calling the police," she said as her stupid ex stood up and wiped his nose, giving me a hard look.
“ Get out before I do something to you you're not going to like," I threatened as I took a step towards him but she held me back,
" No, Hardin don't, get out Alex,” with one last hard look holding a lot of promises he walked out of my office.
“ Are you okay?" I asked her as I held face and she nodded,
" Yeah, I'm okay, please make sure he never gets into this office again, I don't want him anywhere near me,” I
she said,
“ Alright, I'll do just that, did he hurt you?" I asked,
“ Not really," she said,
“ Why was he here?” I asked as I picked the document I dropped.
“ He wanted me to go with him as his date for an event, that would give him some kind of respect, having me as his date, people would show him respect because he brought the CEO of the Miller's Cooperation as his date and I told him I didn't want anything with him, we broke up and he has another girlfriend, I'm not some child he can control whenever he likes,” she said in anger.
" That's so dumb who does he think he is that he can just come in here and harass you however he wants?” I said as I watched her walk to her chair and sat down with a sigh,
" Let's forget about him, how did the meeting go?" she asked,
“ The document is on your table, Mr James would like you to look at his terms, you know you're the only one with the final say in things like this," I said,
" I'll look at it,” she said and I nodded as the office became quiet,
" I'll be in my office in case you need me,” I said and was about to walk out of her office but she stopped me,
“ Hardin," she called as I turned to her,
“ Yes," I said,
“ I…uhm…I just wanted to thank you, yeah, that's it," she said with a smile but I had a feeling that wasn't what she wanted to say.
“ It's my job to make sure that you're always okay, I won't just sit and let you get hurt even if it's you hurting yourself, I won't let you,” I said and I wasn't joking about it.
“ Thank you Hardin," she whispered and I nodded before I walked out of her office.
I entered my office and sat down on my chair to get back to work.
I saw an email from the investigator I asked to find out about the Night Walkers gang and I clicked on it and opened it.
I started going through the information line after line and pictures of every gang member along with their name.
From all I read, what stood out was a prominent event that happened over ten years ago when their former gang leader's son died. From the information here, his house was set ablaze and they couldn't rescue him on time before he died. Was this true or a made up story?
Hmmm, could this be it? What if they think Mr Miller has something in his death? But does he have that power, I'm not sure he would want to do something like that.
That analogy doesn't make sense.
I forwarded the information to Miss Miller as I got back to work, the one person who would really give an answer to this is Mr Miller himself.
Miss Miller would have to question him so he'll give her all the answers she wants.
I was lost in my work when I heard my phone ringing making me stop what I was doing and pick the call.
“ Hello," I answered as I looked to the door to make sure my boss wasn't anywhere in sight.
“ I have some news for you sir, good and bad. Which one do you want to hear first?" The man I asked to watch Ambrose Aaron in Italy said.
My boss didn't know I did this but things don't always have to go her way because whenever there's an issue I'll still be the one to stress over it at the end of the day.
“ I don't care, just have something worth listening to," I said,
“ Ambrose Aaron left Italy together we his family and we don't know where he is right now," he said,
Shit!
“ I thought you were keeping taps on him then how did this happen without your knowledge?" I asked,
" We knew he was planning to leave Italy but we didn't know when or where he was moving to, there was no way to find out,” he explained,
“ So you have no fucking ideas where he is?" I asked,
“ As of now we don't, but we'll keep looking for him," he said,
“ And the good news?" I asked,
“ We finally know who have the emerald eye,"
“ Who?"
