Chapter 655 - A Potential Witness
Titania had several works. During the day, she was working as a secretary of the Finance Director in Miller's company.
At night, she had a part-time job as a waitress in one restaurant near Miller's company. She was working there for five hours before going home.
Although she didn't go to school or had a diploma, she was able to land a job because of her pleasing personality. She was also hardworking.
Her beauty was also one of her advantages the employer chose to hire her. Both her Bosses had a crush on her but she didn't reciprocate any of their feelings.
They knew that Titania was a single parent now. She badly needed money to pay off the debts. When her husband got into an accident, she had to borrow money from a loan shark to pay the hospital bill.
Her husband's family refused to help her, not giving her a single cent. So she worked her ass out for four years but still the debt was still unpaid.
The Finance Director knew her situation, offering her money but she refused to accept it as she didn't want to feel indebted to her. Her heart was not for sale.
Still, the man never stopped pursuing her. She wanted to resign but she couldn't. She still needed her job.
On the other hand, the owner of the restaurant who liked her as well was a little bit reserved. He was fantasizing about her every time she would see Titania wearing her sexy waitress uniform.
However, he couldn't do anything against her since his wife was also with him in the restaurant. He was already married, but still coveting his employee.
Titania turned a blind eye to those things as long as they would not touch her bottom line and go beyond their limits. Besides, she's confident that she could defend herself once they tried to do inappropriate things to her.
That was her everyday life, a workaholic mom. She would work 13-15 hours a day for Ella's future. Her everyday routine was so boring as she continued waiting for the fateful day to come.
Titania was asked by her boss to send some financial documents that were needed by Mr. Miller. Her boss heard that their Chairman, Mr. Miller was not in a good mood so he chose to send Titania instead of going there in his office personally.
She was about to knock when she saw the door was opened. Then she heard Mr. Miller talking on the phone.
Titania contemplated whether to enter or just wait outside until he finished the call. She chose the latter.
Titania remained standing outside the open door, waiting for Mr. Miller to end the call. Who would have thought that by doing that she would overhear something she was not supposed to hear?
Titania covered her mouth in disbelief after she heard almost everything Mr. Miller had said.
'He… he is hiring people to kidnap someone? Oh my God, he also asked his men to rape the woman…'
Titania's eyes widened in horror as she realized what despicable act their Chairman was trying to do. She wanted to listen more but she would be doomed if Mr. Miller found out that she was eavesdropping on his phone conversation.
With her heart racing rapidly, Titania tried her best to leave that room as silent as she could. She was in shock. She couldn't believe that their Chairman was capable of doing that.
Titania quickened her movement when she was no longer inside the office. She immediately went to the comfort room to gather her emotions.
She should calm down and act naturally when facing their Chairman. She still had to hand over the financial documents to him.
Titania watched her reflection in the mirror. She was looking pale. She inhaled and exhaled deeply. She repeated the actions several times until her tensed body could relax.
Then she smacked her face to make it look red. Her face was drained with color. She shook her head as she remembered Mr. Miller's words. She tried to push the thoughts at the back of her mind.
She already had a lot on her plate. She didn't want to intervene in someone else's life.
"Titania, just let it be. Forget about it. Just pretend you didn't hear anything." Titania mumbled, talking to her reflection.
This was not her fight. She already saw lots of injustices in this world. She was no hero. She was just a single mom, trying to make a living.
After fixing herself, Titania left the comfort room.
Meanwhile, Mr. Miller was already done talking with Bishop when he noticed that the door of his office was slightly open. He immediately checked if there was someone outside or not.
It would be dangerous for his plan if someone overheard his conversation with Bishop. Mr. Miller heaved a sigh of relief when he saw no one outside the door.
He closed his door and went back to his executive chair. He was expecting his Finance Director to give him the financial documents that he needed to review.
Mr. Miller dialed the telephone and contacted the Finance Director in his office. After three rings, the call was answered right away.
"Diego, where are the documents? I need it right now! What took you so long to deliver the documents?! For goodness sake, your office is just one floor away from mine!!" Mr. Miller burst out, taking his frustrations out on his Finance Director.
"Huh? Chairman, I already sent my secretary there fifteen minutes ago. I assumed she already handed over those documents. She's not yet there? I even saw her stop in front of your office." Diego, the Finance Director, reasoned out.
"Fifteen minutes ago? She stopped by my office?"
"Yes, Chairman!" Diego answered with certainty.
Mr. Miller frowned upon hearing that. Then his eyes widened in realization.
'Don't tell me she overheard my conversation with Bishop?' Mr. Millers clenched his fists as a cold glint flashed through his eyes.
'If she did hear it, then I should deal with her first!'
