Chapter 656 - Another Task
Mr. Miller was still thinking about what to do if he confirmed that his Finance Director's secretary overheard his conversation when Titania knocked on his door.
Mr. Miller furrowed his eyebrows as his thoughts were interrupted by the knocking sound of the door.
"Mr. Chairman, this is me, Titania. The Finance Director sent me here. May I enter?" Titania announced her presence.
The crease on his forehead deepened. Mr. Miller was still suspicious about her.
"Let's see if you know something or not," Mr. Miller mumbled, his eyes lingered on the closed door.
"Come in!" He said, allowing Titania to enter.
Titania entered his office, greeting him with a smile. Mr. Miller's face crumpled seeing that smile. This was not the face of a person who had just heard someone ordering people to kidnap someone.
'Does it mean she didn't hear it or maybe she is just good at pretending?' Mr. Miller was still observing and assessing every action of Titania.
She gently put the documents on his table.
"Chairman, these are the financial documents you asked from my Boss," Titania said with her calm voice.
She looked more relaxed now, not allowing Mr. Miller to see through her.
He didn't say a word. He picked up the document and scanned it one after another.
Titania endured the heavy tension brewing around them as she waited for the Chairman's instructions.
'Did he see me a while ago? The Chairman looks like he is assessing me.' Titania thought to herself.
"Mr. Chairman, do you have something more to say? What should I tell my boss?"
"Nothing, just tell him to come here. There is something I need to ask him personally," Mr. Miller coldly said. He was still in a bad mood.
"You can go now."
Titania's lips twitched when she heard that. Finally, she could leave that place. She didn't know how long she would be able to pretend that she knew nothing.
She looked calm outside, but deep inside, she was so nervous. She couldn't wait to be dismissed by the Chairman.
Getting his go signal, Titania slightly bowed her head and bid her farewell to Mr. Miller. He just watched her back as she left his office.
Titania took a deep breath. She felt relieved that she was no longer facing the Chairman. She went back to her Boss, informing him that Mr. Miller wanted to see him.
"Sir, the Chairman is seeking your presence. You should go to his office now."
Diego smiled sweetly at Titania before touching her shoulders. Titania tried her best not to smack his hand.
"Alright, my dear. Anyway, is he still in a bad mood?"
Titania just bobbed her head as a response.
Diego squeezed her shoulders while looking at her with his lustful eyes. Titania was so beautiful to ignore. That was one of the reasons he asked her table to be placed inside his office so that he could always see her lovely face.
He was always daydreaming about her. Damn! Titania was playing hard to get. If she was just like the other woman, she would no longer refuse his money.
She was already a mom but he didn't care. She still looked hot, sexy, and gorgeous. He wondered how long he had to pursue her for her to give in.
Diego left the office and proceeded to Mr. Miller's. When he arrived, Mr. Miller was not inside so he waited.
Meanwhile, Mr. Miller was not convinced that Titania didn't hear anything. So to be certain, Mr. Miller went to the CCTV control room. He remembered that there was a CCTV Camera just outside his office.
This was another way to confirm whether Titania overheard his phone conversation or not.
After a few minutes, Mr. Miller found out that Titania indeed dropped by his office but she didn't enter. She left with a troubled expression on her lovely face.
Mr. Miller didn't know how much Titania had heard but he needed to deal with her as soon as possible or it would complicate his plan.
When Mr. Miller arrived in his office, his Finance Director, Diego was already waiting for him.
"You asked for my presence, Chairman?"
With his dark expression, Mr. Miller stormed inside his office and sat on his chair. He signaled Diego to take his seat as well.
Diego waited for Mr. Miller to ask him about the financial matter of the company. But it didn't come. Instead, he asked him a different thing.
"Your secretary… What is her name again?"
Diego was taken aback when he heard that. 'Does the Chairman fancy my beautiful secretary too?'
"W-Why?"
"Just answer my question! Don't answer me with another question!" Mr. Miller said sternly.
Diego apologized right away. "Her name is Titania."
"Tell me about her. What do you know about her?"
Though puzzled by his action, Diego still answered Mr. Miller's queries, informing him of all the information he knew about Titania.
"She is a single mom. She is already a widow. Her daughter is six years old. Aside from being my secretary, she is also working a part-time job as a waitress in the Creamline Restaurant. After leaving her work here, she is heading straight to the restaurant."
"Oh, that restaurant is just near our office building right?"
"Yes, Chairman."
"What time is she usually coming out of the restaurant?"
"At around 10:00 or sometime 11:00 pm." Diego promptly responded.
Mr. Miller fell silent for a moment, lifting his eyebrow. He knew that Diego was very useful for telling him that information but he wondered why he knew everything.
"Are you a stalker? I'm surprised you know all of this, even her schedule." Mr. Miller eyed him suspiciously.
Diego just smiled shyly. "No. I'm not a stalker. The truth is… I like Titania and I've been pursuing her. But she is playing so hard to get. It's okay because I love challenges."
Mr. Miller just shook his head. He had no time for this. He already got what he needed.
"Go and leave now."
"Eh, that's all?"
"Yes, that's all!"
When Diego left, Mr. Miller contacted Bishop again, giving him another task.
