The rest of the morning passed with Brianna making sure of Lucien's safety with all that she could manage. Before lunchtime came, Tatum arrived with a big bag on his shoulder. He informed Vicky of his arrival and told her he was to bring something the boss had asked him to bring. Vicky just gave him a nod, and Tatum knew he already got the go signal to see the boss in his private office. Tatum looked around to see if Brianna was anywhere outside the boss' office. He assumed she was inside the office when he did not see her anywhere, no matter how hard he checked the surroundings. He knocked on Lucien's door, and Brianna opened the door for him. He was a bit surprised, but then he did not let his reaction show. He simply nodded his thanks to Brianna and headed in to report to his boss. "Boss, I have the weapons you asked me to bring over," Tatum carefully placed the bag on the center table of Lucien's receiving area. A set of two single comfortable leather chairs to the left and anothe
"Try to check if you can trace the car that sent Anna to work that day of her interview," Lucien asked Tatum to move closer as he was not sure when Brianna would be back. "I cannot recall exactly what car it was, not even the color as I have seen a lot of cars ever since then. I suggest you check the surveillance cameras around the vicinity of the company surveillance did not capture it. She was dropped upfront of the building, the main entrance.""Yes, sir," replied Tatum shortly. "Ahh, may I ask what specifically do I have to look for?" Tatum was reluctant to ask, but he wanted to be sure."Check where that car is right now and who was driving it," Lucien dismissed Tatum when he heard a door open and shut. "You can go now," he spoke in his normal voice, unlike earlier when Bianca was not around. He was almost whispering."Yes, sir."Lucien was curious to find that Brianna had no one to contact for an emergency. He was sure
They arrived at a fine restaurant. Brianna kept her alert, guarding mind. She was not settled even though Lucien told her that Tatum would watch for them while she eats and she could take her turn to be on watch when she was done with her meal.But she was not comfortable. She can feel something unpleasant is about to happen."Tatum, are you sure you checked the car for any trackers and got rid of them?" she asked instead. They were seated at the farthest corner from the entrance of the diner's area, closed to the wall. She checked for possible exits. The restrooms were behind the wall next to their spot. The restaurant was a two-story building. They were on the ground floor. Easy to get out but easy to get invaded as well. There were walls that divide and separate from one table to the other to provide slight privacy for every table's occupants. It was not easy to look around for the people in their seats, but anyone walking around will be easily
"What the hell is she doing?!" A middle-aged man, Charles Anderson, watching the camera footage live taken at the restaurant, was frowning so seriously. His sight was growing dim in extreme anger. "Why is she even there?"The members of the mercenary team that went to ambush Lucien Michaelson did not understand what their boss was talking about. They saw a woman with their target, and by the stand of that woman, even though she was wearing corporate lady's clothes, she was a private bodyguard. She had been the reason they failed all their attempts to take their target. They were hired to grab the grandson of the feared Lion of the Mafia World. If their task were to take him down, they could have done so in many ways. Blow his car off or take a snipe shot in many positions possible, but since they have to get him alive, they have to get close, very close, to do their task. And they have never failed in their jobs as miserably as the way they had today ever before. They are
"Based on what I know about B, there is nothing that can bend her will to avenge her parents' death. I think she is winning their trust if I am right to say she was caught faking her identity as a secretary. We both know she can do more than an assistant or secretary position job," Jack was beyond convinced Brianna is going through something, although he cannot ask her right now to confirm his assumptions. She can be very convincing in everything she does if she puts her focus into whatever it may be. And this time, Jack assumes Brianna is doing her very best to execute her revenge served cold. "Then why would she be out there in her real face?" Charles asked, still irritated. Who wouldn't be? He lost a few of his top-notched mercenary men because of her. She is becoming a hindrance. If she keeps being so, Charles will have to take her down as well. "Maybe because she didn't have a chance to conceal it when they got into the road accident that day," Jack knew Brianna
Tatum drove the car to where Brianna was holding the guy restrained. Lucien wanted to help, but Brianna restricted him. She was waiting for anything Tatum would give her to tie the captive up securely."Sir, please get in the car. We will put this guy in the trunk, and we will head out," Brianna stated. But Lucien did not comply. He stood there watching every move she made.She skillfully tied the man with a rope. Tatum helped to lift the guy into the trunk, but both Lucien and Tatum were taken by surprise when Brianna checked the guy's mouth for something and pulled out of it a capsule."What's that?" Asked an amused Lucien."Cyanide capsule, sir," Brianna nonchalantly answered."You mean a poison?" Lucien asked again. He could not believe what and how she just said it like it was very common knowledge to know for everyone and only he did not get the notice. Lucien looked up at Tatum, questioning. But Tatum was eq
Enzo was inwardly taken aback by what she had just said. He is known to be unpredictable and unreadable, but he felt naked in front of this lady, Anna. She is too sharp to point his reactions like it was too obvious not to notice.But he was also impressed that she did not make it sound like she was offended. She even stated it like she was praising him for being calculative to a stranger like her. Her answer also made sense. Why would she come all the way around here if her target is the young Michaelson? Noticing how the latter trusted her already, there is no need for the lady to come this far. She could have taken him as a hostage and ask the old Michaelson for anything, and she could get whatever she would ask in exchange for the Young Michaelson's life.So, all in all, his doubts were useless and unnecessary.He cleared his throat before he replied to Lucien."My apologies," Enzo slightly nodded his head to Briann
Just as they were about to walk up to see the old Michaelson, they were all shaken by a loud sound. Brianna quickly jumped at Lucien to cover him. She can tell it was a bomb. She quickly looked around to check from which direction did the sound came from."Damn it!" She grunted. "I should have checked him thoroughly."Brianna saw the guy she painstakingly brought for questioning blow himself off. He must have had a bomb hidden in his body for instances like he was in. Brianna overlooked that idea when she saw the cyanide. She thought that was the only thing the guy had with him to commit suicide, avoiding torture and questioning. She just realized they would never allow such things to happen if they had any chances."I should have questioned him first," she knocked her head.Lucien was still beneath her as she secured the place for any other invasion before she stood up and grabbed the bag with everything she picked for
