SHANTAL's P o V ~~~   I was aware that I am making things hard for the receptionist. But I would rather keep my guard up to anyone than to blindly put my trust in whoever approached me first. I knew it was not so nice of me but I would rather be that 'Karen' than being taken advantage of.   The other party, on the other hand, seemed to already expect that reaction from me. She did not appear plastered despite my obvious skepticism. She was able to maintain her composure in the face of my rough attitude and I would like to commend her for that.   The girl said nothing and just flashed me her nameplate together with a simpered smile. Only then did I loosen up a bit and with a casual flip of my hair, I insinuated,   "Okay. Lead the way."   I let the girl took me to where I was supposed to go and to my surprise, we were actually headed to the

SHANTAL's P o V~~~~  "Hello, Ms. Nordstorme." The other party greeted me with a smile as soon as I arrived. However, the first thing I noticed the moment my eyes landed to the woman at  my table was that she possessed more melanin on her skin than three of me combined and if my guess was correct, there was high likely a chance for her to have an Orient origin. But I figured that was not my main concern so I switch my attention back to the matter that needed my focus the most. "Code Zero?" I asked her back after I have taken my seat. "Code Zero told me to meet you here." She replied right away and when I did not say anything after that, she continued. "Agnes is a criminal on interpol's blacklist----" My brows furrowed together when I heard her suddenly talking

ADELAINE's  P o V~~~~   I thought that it was a rule of thumb for Sundays to be considered as one's rest day. I mean, yeah, I understood I signed a contract stating that I should be one call away at all times, but I was hoping that my boss was also considerate enough to give me some leeway and spare me at least a day for myself. But I guess it was no different from asking miracles and it took reality to slap me hard before I understood that. I already had a plan for the day when out of nowhere, my business phone shattered started ringing and its ringtone shattered the peace of my rest. There was no need for me to check the caller ID because I dare you not, but I could bet my wrist that no one would ever call me this early other than, Ms. Nordstorme. But in spite of my annoyance, I still tried my best to make myself sound as professional as poss

"That could be quite troublesome if that was really the case."   There was an unmistakable air of indifference surrounding Shantal when she uttered those words. It was as if hearing a bit of that bad news from Adelaine was nothing to her, and if it was anyone, they would easily buy her acting and be fooled by her action. However, Adelaine was different. Spending a considerable amount of time working with her boss who not only was a control freak but also someone who used to mask her real emotion at all times, the secretary already learned a thing or two on how to read the other party and discern the meaning hidden at each of her nonverbal gestures. In fact, it would not be an exaggeration on Adelaine's part to say that by now, she could already pretty much pick up a few cues to tell how her lady boss really felt behind her very words, and right now, even though Shantal may have tried to behave like she was not affected at all, Adelaine figured that it wa

"By the way, since when did my cousin become your  driver?"  Shantal asked her secretary without tearing her eyes away from the parking lot and for some reason, Adelaine felt like all the hair on her skin was standing on its ends the moment she was confronted by Shantal's questioning. "Ohh.. Ahmm.. That is---" Adelaine did her best to stop herself from stuttering as she tried to come up with the right words to say. So she momentarily made a pause in an attempt to clear her thoughts and then after she deliberately cleared her throat, she added "I am so sorry Ms. Nordstrome. But please believe me that we did this with a good intention in our hearts. I know that you are not going to like it once you learned that your cousin was trying to get involved in this quest against your aunt so we decided to hide it from you, in the meantime.  But the truth was, it was Jodi who had been len
