Chapter Two Hundred And Five

"Oakcrest City?"

The men stared at her in shock and she nodded quite seriously, giving them a straight look.

"If you say he's your boss, then why hasn't he contacted y'all yet?" She asked the men, feigning curiosity.

"That's impossible." One of the men muttered, then raised an eyebrow at Maya, "Are you telling us the truth?"

"Of course, we can't just keep him here forever." She said, flipping her hair behind her shoulder, "I mean, we took care of him for four years, don't you think that's enough?"

"How come he was here for four years?" The other man asked, "Did y'all keep him here against his will?"

Maya scoffed in disbelief, her mouth twisting with rage, "Why on earth would we do that? What do you take us for, huh, some kind of primitives?" She hissed at them, then smirked, "You are just trying to pass blame because for four freaking years, you were not able to find your so called boss. Incompetent! Get off my stoop!"

With that, she slammed the door again

Its working?!"Pa Eugene exclaimed as the screen of the cellphone turned bright.However, in the next second, it immediately went blank and would not come back on, no matter how many times Noah tried the power button."It needs fixing." Noah said eagerly, "Where can I fix this?""Not in St. Hayes, no sir." Pa Eugene sighed as he relaxed on his chair, "Not many of the people here use cellphones such as this, except the young ones who come for a visit. What on earth would a fisherman need a cellphone for? The payphone is all we need. Convenient too."Noah had shut out the old man's ramblings. His head was spinning with different thoughts, and his heart was beating loudly in his ears.He had this cellphone all along here and Pa Eugene had to wait four years to give it to him?!Inhaling deeply, he tried to calm his erratic nerves.

Maya exclaimed incredulously, flipping her hair back in exasperation, as though she was surprised the topic was even been debated, "He's amnesiac and knows nothing about the city. I, on the other hand, have lived here most of my life. He needs me to make it here in the city."The two men stopped and frowned at the obnoxious woman in front of them. Pa Eugene closed his eyes and sighed in frustration at his grand-daughter's behaviour."There's absolutely no reason for him to stay with you, Maya." Pa Eugene said, "He's a grown ass man and you all are nothing to each other, so why would he live with you?"Maya scoffed, "Um, hello, I did get him a job here in the city." She went on, a cheeky smile tugging at her lips, "Without my help, he'd be stranded here. So it goes without saying that he needs me.""I'd rather not impose." Noah sai

She was staring at the suited man in her office in disbelief.It was one of the men who had been in St. Hayes a few days ago, inquiring about the golden haired man."What did you just say?" Lana asked once more, taking quick steps towards the man, "You found Damien?!"The man, private detective Ryan, looked taken aback. He blinked in surprise and hastened to correct her, "No. No, ma'am. " he said hurriedly, "I said, we were able to get some information on his whereabouts."Lana's hands were trembling really badly by now. She dropped the coffee mug in her desk and clasped her hands together to still the trembling."So he...he's alive?" She whispered the words, afraid it might come back void to her."Yes, it would seem so." Detective Ryan stated simply an

He stated simply, "That's just bullshit."The detective did not bat an eyelid at Liam's accusation, "Half the town's people in St. Hayes know this from a fact that the golden haired man lost his memories," he replied tersely, "Besides, Mr Romero suffered severe injuries before he fell into the river. Don't you think that might have affected his health one way or the other?"Lana's breath hitched at the mention of that horrible accident four years ag

Lana did really play us all."Zaire smirked as he listened to this, while Director Evans took his seat with a satisfied sigh, "Now, there's just one little problem to sort out before we make this public," he drawled, taking long puffs on his cigarette, "Where is Romero, really?

It was a combination of both specialists and general hospital.It provided the best health care services and even the creme de la creme of society had their check ups there. The hospital's VIP section was built solely for the benefit and comfort of wealthy people. This sentiment has gone on to be abused by the rich, who use the hospital as a getaway to evade tax hunt, scandals and malingering.The facilities in the VIP area were more like the equipments that belonged in a spa or resort than an hospital. There were lounges, perfect little cafes and the patients wore robes as their hospital wear instead.However, only the best and most professi

Some of the production team members as well.""Well, its better than being jailed.""That's right. They got off easy, I think. Who knows if they were really oblivious to what was going on.""They must have had some hand in it. They are probably among his partners.

    Chapter Two Hundred And Thirty-SixThe door to the sales office creaked loudly as Gary slowly pushed it open.He walked calmly into the office and came to a dead stop, as everyone turned to face him immediately.The Regional Head was standing with his legs apart in the office, and his hands clasped behind him, like some sort of military commander.Flanking him on both sides were the members of the internal audit team, looking as neatly pressed and put together, with not one hair out of place or a rumple in their clothes, as though they had not just finished a grueling three weeks task.A task that could have taken them three months, and had taken the original internal team a couple of years. The other employees in that office stood behind their desks, nervously clutching their hands and giving each other side looks.Their gazes flitted from the Regional Head to Noah and back to each other. The tension in the office was palpable and they could not wait to get past the suffocating mome

She said, throwing up her hands in disgust, "I should have known better than to warn you.

He said, a tiny smirk curving his lips, "You don't scare me and neither does he! I'm calling his bluff."Maya laughed in disbelief, then slowly blinked in confusion as Gary puffed out his chest, tucking his hands deep in his pockets.He was really serious!Her jaw twitching with anger, she jabbed a finger in his shoulder, "Don't say I did not warn you," she snarled, "I'd like to see you so smug when you're six feet under."She stormed off, and Gary watched her, his ey

The golden haired mystery man was not as dumb as every one thought he was.Infact, he was being accorded honor by the regional head, who made sure every thing was done to the letter, following Noah's instructions."We cannot misuse such valuable information. Its time to fish out those perpetrators and clease out Romero Solutions," The regional head had declared before he gave Noah a determined look, "If this turns out successful, headquarters will be really pleased with you, Noah."And that

By who?"The regional Head voice was rising by the minute, and his hands curled into fists on his seat."I don't know about that, sir." Noah said, carefully choosing his words else he let something slip.He did not intend to reveal the one behind the crime, mainly because he did not know who the mastermind was.Secondly, he had no evidently of the ones he suspected. These little details will be brought to light when the Regional Manager sets the auditing team to work."When I noticed a pattern of weight discrepancies as well as other inconsistencies in the record, I had to check for myself."

She cried out in agony, "Let me go. At once!""Not until you explain what you mean by that little statement which you just uttered," Gary fired back heatedly."I meant exactly what I said, you piece of trash, " Maya said as she mustered her energy and stomped on his toe with her heeled foot."Ahh!" Gary cried out in anguish as pain exploded in his foot. He let go of her hair at once and doubled over in pain, trying to hold his throbbing toe but it was much too painful.Maya, seeing as she was free from his hold, turned back and stared at him in disdain, "You think I won't take protective measures for myself?

The Regional Head repeated in puzzlement, "What could that be?"Maya's heart slammed in her chest as she heard Noah say those words. Franticaly, she glanced at Gary who had also gone a little pale.A look of terror passed between them and they immediately knew what the important news Noah had for the regional head was."Stop him!" Maya seemed to say with her eyes, glaring at Gary and making motions with her head towards Noah.She was so agitated that she could not stand still. She had been so eager to want to leave this place earlier but now she wouldn't leave for all the world.She had to stay to hear what Noah had to say to the Regional Head.Quick as flash, Gary stepped in between the Regional Head and Noah.Smiling nervously, he started speaking, "Regional Head sir, why don't you allow the Senior sales manager to take you to his office, while you wait for the reports on the audit?"

Fred asked as he stepped closer to the Regional Head."But that's inpossible," Gary uttered through gritted teeth, "He has no qualifications.
