“How did it go?” Chris asked as he scrolled through a few documents on his phone. He was particularly concerned about how Mars had reacted to the order he gave. “We have nothing from him. After he left the meeting room, he disappeared.” Rico Axe said. “He just disappeared?” Chris raised a brow in question. “Yes!” Rico nodded. “Can you find more information on him? Something about him just ticks me off. His sudden appearance is suspicious.” Chris demanded, his gaze turning dim in thought. “Alright. I will do that.” Rico nodded. “Also, the police have requested your presence.” “Why?” Chris frowned. “Reid is yet to be found and they are asking if you can give them any information. They need you in for questioning tomorrow.”“Hmm…” Chris frowned, feeling like something was off. He didn't think Reid had the resources to hide so well but. He could decide to mobilize his men to look for Reid but it could interfere with the police work. However, on his end, Reid was a ticking time bom

Mars stared at Walker Rice, hoping he would do something and say something on his behalf but that didn't happen. Walked joined Rico Axe in staring at him, waiting for him to leave. On the other hand, Mars knew he couldn't just leave, or else he would be in a lot of trouble. “Can you tell me why?” He asked Rico, trying to stay calm. “I can’t say, Mr. Mars. My job is to receive direct orders from my boss.” Rico shook his head, nonchalantly. Finally, his last resort, Mars looked at Walker, “Boss, do something.”Walker closed his eyes, torn between speaking up for Mars and just continuing the meeting. There was a lot at stake and he couldn't afford to offend Chris. So he said, “Maybe you should think about what you did. Chris wouldn't just do a thing like this. While you are out, reflect on your actions.”Mars was taken aback. He begged for the deal to be reinstated and a while ago, Walker was commending him and now, he was being treated like someone who had done wrong. In that mome

Chris was right in the car, staring curiously at Mars who kept banging his head on the hard floor. Even though he was dripping with blood down his head, Mars didn't stop. Also, Chris observed that his skin tore way too easily. He wasn't concerned about the self-harming Mars but he was incredibly curious. It seemed Mars was unpredictable. And as he looked out of the windscreen, with the lights shining on Mars’ face, it was as if Mars was looking back at him, with an eerie smile. Even though he was obviously in pain, Mars was smiling. But the most disturbing thing was that the car windows were tinted and there was no way Mars knew Chris was looking at him. He was just staring. Second by second, he looked even more unpredictable to Chris and irked him so much. If Chris wanted to, he could drive off and leave him to continue self-harming but he didn't do that. He stepped out of the car, his hands in his pockets as he approached Mars. “Do you want to die here?” Chris spoke up, standi

Rice Walker stormed out of the high-end restaurant with blazing anger. He went straight to the parking lot where Mars was already waiting by the car and without stopping, he stormed toward the assistant. Pak!“Are you out of your fucking mind?” Walker yelled. “Who do you think you are to ruin a billion-dollar deal like that?”“Can your whole existence ever pay for it?” Walker snarled, his eyes twitching because he was feeling extreme anger. He wanted to raise his hand at Mars again but he held back, breathing heavily. “I am sorry.” Mars bowed his head slightly. “I didn't know what came over me. I misspoke.”“I don’t care if you misspoke! The only reason why you are here today is because my father asked me to take you along as my assistant!” “If he realizes you are trying to ruin this deal, he is going to do the unimaginable to you, do you understand?” Walker hinted at what could happen. His father was banking on this deal as well and a mere assistant couldn't just ruin it. “I am

The office went completely silent, as Chris looked straight at Mars. At the same time, Walker looked nervous and quickly sat up.“Don’t worry, Chris. I will do it. Mars here has an issue with talking and he won't be able to do it.” Walker rushed to get the proposal documents they had prepared. “Is that so?” Chris asked, looking at Mars intently and Mars never for once took his eyes off Chris too. It was like they had a staring contest which ticked Chris off the wrong way. “Hey, Mars!” Walker called, interrupting the staring competition. “Come help me.”Mars nodded before standing up and Chris was finally able to concentrate. However, through the proposal meeting, Mars was all quiet, silently giving everything Walker needed. And by the end of everything, he looked like a zombie, just moving around and being told what to do. Even though it wasn't an abnormal situation, Chris found it odd. “So, what do you think?” Walker asked, his eyes glistening with expectations. “It’s good. I wi

Five days later…Chris sat at his desk, right in the CEO’s office, however, he was staring into space. Too much time had passed and Baron was still being held in custody and the police was still looking for him. He had expected Gerald to reach out to him by now but nothing was happening. “Boss…” Rico Axe walked in, with a serious expression. “Is there any news from the Rice family?” He asked. “No.” Rico shook his head. “However, there is another important news.” Immediately, Chris perked up, raising his brows in question. “Mike was arrested after the evidence that was released but Reid is still nowhere to be found. His last location was a warehouse but we still cannot find him yet.” Rico Axe explained, looking a bit worried. “Really?” Chris raises his brows again. He had almost forgotten that people like Mike and Reid existed because he thought he was done with that chapter. He now recalled that Reid was supposed to pay him 36 million dollars because of the car he wrecked. “Did
