CHAPTER 38 - Charade
Minerva was fuming when Daniel left.
How could he possibly sabotage this deal?
This was a close door meeting between Mr. Johnson and Clint.
They made sure to sign at the last minute to keep it low profile.
She immediately took out her phone and dialled Linda’s number.
“Are you happy now? Are you that insecure that my husband managed to make a deal and you had to sabotage it?” she accused unsparingly.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about” Linda said flatly.
“Don’t you dare deny it. I’m sure you tipped Daniel about this deal”
“You know he hates me” Minerva glared.
Linda is becoming bolder she thought.
She needed to put her in her rightful place.
Which is out of the company.
“Minerva, if you have a problem with your son-in-law, I suggest you take it up to him directly”
“Don’t involve me in you

Their days passed by in silence except for work matters.Linda’s wedding is coming in a few days so Celine focused on the final wedding details.Their planning was flawless.It was a simple wedding to begin with and mostly it was Tiff who was very eager to do the follow-ups.As requested by the couple, they only wanted their immediate family members to be there with the exception of closest friends.In total, it was an intimate wedding with less than 30 persons attending.Brendan chose Daniel to be his best man and Linda chose Celine as her maid of honour.Tiff volunteered to be the on-site organizer.And Aaron, well, he volunteered to keep everyone entertained.Celine’s flowers gave life to the plain green garden and everyone was impressed.They knew it was a rare flower that came from overseas.When the entourage walked the aisle, there was a slight buzz amongst the guests.Is that the

She unconsciously looked at Daniel to see his reaction.She was expecting annoyance, or fear or any negative reaction but she didn’t see any.How could Daniel hide his emotions so well?“Aunt Marge” he greeted.Celine was trying to hear the voice from the other end.She was surprised when she heard a soft and mellow voice.She expected something like Minerva’s.“I’m not available” she heard Daniel’s voice again.She could hear him reply from time to time but she could not make up of what they were talking about.“I don’t have time”“I’ll see what I can do” he finally said then ended their call.Daniel looked at the woman beside him and weighed in to tell her or not.“Do you want to know or not?” he teased.“I don’t know what you’re talking about” she denied.Daniel chu

Aaron broke the awkwardness when no one dared to make a sound.“Should we go somewhere? I’ve booked a room upstairs” he admitted in embarrassment.Celine understood what happened.Tiff asked her to come and Daniel asked Aaron so they can spend time together.She looked blankly at Tiff then to Daniel trying to see the clues.But it doesn’t make sense.They’re already set to meet, why involve her and Aaron.There’s no point to analyse what happened.She’s in a foul mood as soon as she saw them coming together.“No need. I’ll go ahead. Thanks for dinner” she said flatly then walked away.“If you want some private time with Daniel, no need to involve me. I’m pretty sure you’re not violating any office rules” she said softly to Tiff then walked away.She immediately booked a cab but it would take 5 minutes for the driver to reach

After cleaning up, she went straight to their bedroom not waiting for Daniel.She smiled bitterly.Every time they would have something special, they would be interrupted.Maybe it’s better that way.She needs a reminder whenever she’s having ‘what if’s’ moment.Anyway, she needed to conserve her energy.The next day is Saturday and she needs to go to the facility.She slept without waiting for Daniel.When she woke up the next day, Daniel was not in the bed.She just left a note on his bed side table and went out.She was so happy to see Jack in her black hair and white uniform.“Celine, thank you” Jack started.It seems she took Celine’s advise to modulate her voice.She’s very pleasant to hear now.“I’m glad you’re having a good time here” she replied sincerely.“She’s not the only one ha

“What?” he asked in disbelief. How could a bulky six-foot-three grown up man go missing? He’s not a cat. “We’re supposed to have lunch today but I didn’t hear from him. I already checked; he wasn’t with his mum” “It’s not his character to miss out without informing” Mrs. Stevenson was worried. “Don’t worry mum, I’ll ask around” Aaron said then ended the call. “Celine, where’s Daniel?” he tried to ask casually but Celine could tell something was amiss. First, Aaron doesn’t go straight to the topic. He likes to set the mood first before asking for something. “I don’t know. What happened?” “Daniel is missing. When did you last saw him?” Aaron is trying to establish the timeline. “Last night” then she remembered the phone call he received. Does it mean he didn’t sleep in their house last night? Oh my. Her husband is missing for almost 24 hours now and she didn’t have any idea.

He felt his head ache just by looking at the expectant Celine.“I’m fascinated at how you could come up with such ideas” he shook his head.“That’s how it is in the movies”“What’s wrong?” she was pretty sure that’s the reason why he doesn’t want to be associated with the Stevensons.Daniel eyed her intently thinking if it’s a good idea to share his story.“I will tell you a story, it may or may not be real. You decide later on” he started.“In exchange, I want to you make breakfast. How about that?” he said smiling.Of course, she would agree.A good gossip is something she looked forward to.Celine smiled meaningfully.She could not contain her excitement.“Okay, but you need to call them first” she reminded.“Aunt Marge” he greeted as soon as the call connected.“Don

Do you have a car?” Daniel asked casually.She hadn’t thought about that.They’re in the middle of nowhere.“I can ask Mr. James to pick me up” she thought to herself.But she doesn’t want to inconvenience Mr. James any more.“D, how about you recover at home. You would be more comfortable there”“It’s easier to move around” she suggested.“So you could hire a nurse and leave me?” he asked in his accusing tone.“Why would I hire a nurse? Of
