Mia was still confused, so she asked, “What do you mean?” Jim explained in detail, “They reported to the police that a person entered William’s house last night. He also had a girl with him who was unconscious. William’s servants were present at the house. William does not live there but sometimes comes with his family or friends. The fact is that William is also our team member. They gave the necklace to the police and said that it was left behind by the girl and man when they left in the morning.”

Mia was left astounded and exclaimed, “Amazing!” We smiled in response. I turned to Jim and said, “We have some great news. We have finally traced Alex’s location.” Jim’s face lit up with excitement as he asked, “Really? Where is he?” Ethan replied, “Currently, he is in one of the nearby states. Mia tried to contact him through calls and messages, but we have received no response from him. Maybe something is wrong with him.”

Jim spoke up. “Okay, boss. What should we do now? Should I head to his location?” I shook my head and responded, “No, I’ll ask Jack to go there.”

Jim’s brows furrowed in confusion as he looked at me. “But boss,” he said, “you told us that Jack is not in the city.”

My face remained calm as I replied, “Yes, that’s true. I asked him to leave the city because Alex has some close friends in the nearby cities. So, I assigned this task to Jack to go there and investigate without raising suspicion. I had a doubt that maybe Alex had disappeared on his own. He told Mia that he was leaving the city for a business deal, but according to our investigation, there was no such deal. Maybe he’s trying to hide from someone.”

I calmly relayed my plan, “Now, I will share Alex’s location with Jack and ask him to investigate without raising suspicion. We need to approach Alex and find out what’s happening to him.” Jim and Mia both nodded in agreement, fully trusting my abilities. Jim left the room.

Mia smiled in agreement and nodded her head as I rose to my feet and proposed, “I am heading to continue the investigation with the girl, would you like to join me?” Without hesitation, Mia replied, “Yes,” and trailed after me. When we entered the room where Jim kept the girl, the young woman was seated on the floor while Jim towered over her, monitoring her condition. As soon as I approached, Jim announced, “Boss, this girl can now speak fluently; you can inquire about anything.” He cast a sly grin in my direction, and I responded by taking a seat and addressing the girl, “So, what is your name?” Without a moment’s hesitation, the girl responded, “Abigail.”

“I already told you I don’t know where Alex is.” Jim’s voice bellowed, “Miss Abigail, I already informed you, please answer our questions directly and avoid any superfluous conversation.” The girl’s demeanor changed as she appeared to be somewhat intimidated. I interjected, “What information do you possess about Oliver?” The girl revealed, “I used to be an escort, and I spent a night with him. He suggested that he could offer me an alternative job if I wanted to leave the profession. Being an escort is a tough job, so I agreed. He gave me his office address and asked me to visit him there.” Tears were visibly streaming down the girl’s face.

The girl’s voice quivered as she continued, “I often questioned whether accepting Oliver’s job was the right decision. Despite the stigma attached to being an escort, at times it felt like a better option than this.” She paused, taking a deep breath before recounting her visit to Oliver’s office. “He explained that his business was under threat, and he needed my assistance. He proposed that if I could attract someone and extract important information, it would be beneficial for him.” She hesitated before continuing, “Initially, I was hesitant. I saw no difference between this and my previous profession. However, with no other options, I reluctantly agreed.” Tears continued to stream down her face, as she spoke of her past.

As the girl continued to speak, it became clear that the person she was tasked with attracting was just the beginning. Oliver had provided her with all the necessary information on how to successfully lure the target, even providing funds for the appropriate attire. Under the influence of alcohol, she was able to gather crucial information from the individual. The following day, when she reported back to Oliver with her success, he was overjoyed and embraced her. This was just a test task to see if he could trust her, and he was impressed with her performance. He offered her the opportunity to continue working with him, promising her all the necessary resources and even a place to live. The girl accepted his offer and continued to follow his instructions, being paid generously for her services, sometimes even receiving additional compensation.

“On certain occasions, I had to travel out of the city with one of Oliver’s other employees, and we would stay in hotel rooms where they would also spend the night with me.” Her tears streamed down her face as she spoke, revealing the unbearable reality of her situation. In an effort to gather more information, I probed further and asked for the names of the people whom Oliver had targeted. She struggled to remember, but eventually, she was able to provide me with some names. As she revealed those names, I was left completely stunned.

MIA

As the girlrecounted her story, she revealed that Oliver had instructed her to target and gather information from various individuals, including Mr. Joe, whose business plans, product designs, and important files were stolen. She even went as far as to bug his office. She speculated that Oliver may have been attempting to blackmail Mr. Joe with the stolen information. We were all shocked to hear the extent of the unethical practices that had taken place under Oliver’s command.

The girl explained that Oliver had trained her for such tasks and even provided her with an expert make-up artist to give her a new look for each target. Some tasks were completed in one night, while others took as long as a month. Jim expressed his surprise and said, “But boss, Mr. Joe didn’t mention anything about the involvement of this girl in stealing crucial information about his business.” Ethan replied, “Perhaps he was embarrassed.”

I then asked the girl about her whereabouts when we saw her in the village with a man. She replied, “Oliver instructed me to leave the city for a while after stealing information from Alex’s office to avoid suspicion. That man was Oliver’s employee.”

Ethan’s tone was stern and serious as he asked the girl about the stolen files of Alex’s business. She replied in the negative, and Ethan’s expression turned to one of anger and frustration. He stood up from his seat and towered over her, making it clear that he meant business. He spoke in a booming voice, “If anything goes wrong with Alex or his business, you will be held responsible, and it will be your last day on earth!” His words were forceful, and the girl couldn’t help but feel a chill run down her spine.

As Ethan spoke, a wave of panic washed over me, and I found myself praying, “Oh God, please let my brother be safe. Protect him.” As I looked at him, I couldn’t help but admire Ethan’s striking appearance. Dressed in a sleek black tailored suit and a denim jacket, he exuded confidence and style. A precious watch adorned his wrist, adding to his already impressive look. His tattoos were visible through his shirt, adding to his rugged charm. I couldn’t resist staring at him, appreciating his striking appearance. Finally, I smiled, breaking my gaze away from him. Ethan noticed my gaze and offered me words of reassurance. “Don’t worry,” he said with a calm tone, “your brother will be with you soon.”

As I watched him work tirelessly to protect my brother, I couldn’t help but feel ashamed of my earlier accusations. Despite his wealth and power, Ethan was dedicated and hardworking, always striving to solve his cases. Though I often disagreed with his bad boy nature and Alpha male tendencies, I couldn’t deny that he was a good person at heart.

Ethan turned to Jim with a composed expression on his face. “There is no special matter to handle here. Try to handle all the circumstances and situations here. Jack is attempting to approach Alex. I will update you if I obtain any pertinent information. I believe I must be in my office now, as they might suspect my involvement in this investigation. We must set a trap for them, but we must find Alex as soon as possible. He may have some critical information that can assist us, or he may be in danger, so we must keep him safe,” Ethan said in a serious tone.

The girl looked at Ethan and spoke softly, “When you were out of the city with your fiancee, they suspected that you were following me there, but I did not know your true identity, so I reported you both as just a romantic couple.” Jim chuckled at her words, causing me to blush, while Ethan bit his teeth in frustration. “That was only a fake engagement between Mia and me,” Ethan said with a stern look at Jim. “Boss, seriously, that fake engagement was really helpful,” Jim continued to laugh.

Ethan felt uneasy with Jim’s comments, and he glared at him with fury. Jim immediately fell silent, realizing his mistake.

Upon observing Ethan’s behavior, I couldn’t help but feel uneasy about our relationship. It saddened me to think that he might not be pleased with our situation. However, I also noticed that his demeanor had shifted significantly in the past few days, particularly after Alex’s disappearance. He had been unwavering in his support for me during this difficult time. I realized that perhaps he was merely trying to make it clear that our engagement was only a façade for the sake of the investigation, and that there was nothing romantic between us. He had made it clear that any scandal involving a billionaire boss and his employee would be catastrophic for him. With this realization, I tried to compose my thoughts and remain calm.

As Ethan and I made our way towards his office, he turned to me and inquired, “Why did you come there when I specifically told you to stay at home? Can you explain what happened to you?” I met his gaze and responded, “I was feeling uneasy and anxious about not knowing what was going on, so I decided to pay you a visit. I overheard you telling Jim on the phone that you were going to his location. As I had already been to that place, when you mentioned that you and Jack were with him and not in the office, I deduced that you might be there. My intuition was telling me that something was wrong, even though I had no knowledge of Alex’s disappearance. But as her sister, I felt a sense of worry and unease that compelled me to act.”

“So, it’s your habit to not follow my instructions.” I gazed at him, taken aback by his accusation. I swiftly replied, “No, the matter of fact is that you always keep me unaware of things. You traced the location of Alex with my help. If you had told me earlier, we could have found Alex sooner.” Ethan turned his head towards the window, avoiding eye contact. He muttered, “And it is also your habit to argue over everything.” My blood boiled, and I shot him an angry glare. “No, I’m not arguing. You do not understand my point,” I retorted, emphasizing every word.

Ethan fixed his gaze on me and calmly said, “I understand your frustration, but I cannot explain every detail to you every time. I have already given you the information I could.” I met his stare and retorted, “Do you think I am a heartless machine, capable of making assumptions and finding facts without leaving my house?” Ethan let out a chuckle and replied, “Oh my dear, I never thought of you as a robot. My love for you can awaken all your emotions.” He held my hand and planted a gentle kiss on the back of it. I blushed and tried to pull my hand away, saying, “And then you can crush all my emotions with just a few words.”

Ethan’s words stung me like a bee as he remarked, “You feel this way because you’re emotional.” I felt my eyes widen with surprise, but quickly recovered and glared at him. However, as Ethan put his arm around me and pulled me closer while driving with his other hand, we both burst into laughter.

Upon arriving at the office, Ethan dove into a busy day of meetings with employees, diligently taking notes and updates. Meanwhile, his phone buzzed with messages from Jack, but I couldn’t glean any information as Ethan was preoccupied with another visitor. It was evident that the matter at hand was of significant importance, perhaps even involving another high-profile case that demanded his attention. Despite my curiosity, I patiently waited for Ethan to finish his work.

In the afternoon, Ethan summoned me to his office. As soon as I entered, he beamed at me and exclaimed, “I have some great news!” I was intrigued and asked him what it was. Ethan’s smile widened as he told me, “Jack has successfully located Alex’s whereabouts, and he reported that he is safe and sound.” I felt a wave of relief wash over me at the news.

Upon hearing the news that my dearest brother was safe and sound, I was jubilant beyond comprehension – I could hardly contain myself. Without a second thought, I immediately made my way towards Ethan, my mentor and boss. As I drew closer to him, Ethan opened his arms wide. Without hesitation, I threw myself into them, taking in his captivating and alluring scent, inhaling deeply. The smell was indescribable – I felt intoxicated by it. The emotions coursing through my veins were indescribable. Although it started out as just excitement over my brother’s safety, it quickly turned into an experience of unimaginable pleasure and unquenchable desire. He tenderly scrolled his hand at my back, and we shared a passionate kiss that left me breathless. During the kiss, I could feel his longing and desire for me, and my own desires were ignited. I perceived his erect phallus pressing against my body, causing me to become fully aroused. We delved into a deep and intense French kiss, exploring each other’s mouths with a hunger that was undeniable. I remember how his lips felt against mine. The way our lips moved together was absolutely intoxicating, and I couldn’t help but feel myself growing increasingly eager with every passing second.
