Harvey leaned his head against the seat, waiting for a call from his team tracking Sawyer’s car. He was curious to know where Sawyer lived.
Minutes went by, and his patience started to fade when they still hadn’t called. He shifted his gaze to the bodyguard next to the driver. "Call them!" he commanded coldly.
With his eyes closed and index finger tapping on his thigh, he waited for his bodyguard to finish calling the other mbers. Instantly, his expression hardened upon hearing their conversation over the phone.
Taking a deep breath, Harvey narrowed his eyes at his bodyguard, who had just ended the call. He understood the outco without his guard saying a word: they had failed.
"Master, they failed to follow the target. Now, Master Sawyer’s cars are chasing our people, which is why they can’t report to you imdiately. I asked them to lure those people away from our location, and they are looking for an opportunity to attack them."
"What the hell are they doing? How could that bastard spot them? Are you sure you asked our best people to follow him?" Harvey couldn’t believe a simple task to track Sawyer had failed again. This wasn’t the first ti they hadn’t found his destination.
"Yes, sir. I chose them personally. They are all the best among our people," the bodyguard explained, feeling stressed. He still couldn’t believe his master’s younger brother had capable people to identify and even pursue his team.
"Make sure to trap and catch them all. If you have difficulty capturing them, get a few backups. You need to ensure you capture every last one. I plan to use those individuals to pressure my bastard little brother!"
"Yes, master. We won’t fail this ti!"
"You better be. Otherwise, you’ll face the consequences," Harvey snapped before exiting the car and walking to the private elevator underground for the tenants on the top floor.
Today, Harvey decided to stay over at his condominium near the office to handle sothing important; it concerned the news on the internet. He couldn’t believe his wild party video was still trending on several websites.
As he walked toward the special elevator, Harvey typed a ssage to his hacker.
"Explain to why the news is still there."
He texted as he entered the elevator. However, a woman’s voice halted him just before the door closed.
"Excuse , sir, please wait..."
Harvey frowned, displeased that soone had stopped him.
"This special elevator only stops on the 34th and 35th floors..." Harvey said coldly as he lifted his head to see her. He was left speechless when he noticed the woman before him.
The woman shared the sa expression as Harvey. She was shocked.
Harvey was the first to regain his composure. "Why are you here? Did you follow ?" he asked in disbelief, staring at Serena Philips before him.
How did this woman manage to enter the restricted area? This elevator was only permitted for tenants on levels 34 and 35. He glanced toward the entrance, trying to find the guard, but there was no sign of anyone.
’Did she get lost in this place?’ Harvey wondered as he turned his gaze back to Serena, who was still standing in front of the elevator door.
"Br-brother Harvey..." Serena gasped, shocked to see him in this place. She shook her head and hurriedly explained, "No, I’m not following you, brother. I actually live here..."
Harvey was surprised to hear that. He rarely visited this building, only stopping by when he didn’t have ti to return to his own house. That’s why he didn’t know who owned the 34th floor. He occupied the entire 35th floor, which ant that Serena Philips owned the level below him.
"You live on the 34th floor, right?" Harvey asked, still unable to believe that this girl owned property beneath his own.
"Yes, Brother Harvey..." Serena replied with a smile. She was no longer as shocked as she had been before. She stepped into the elevator calmly and stood beside him. After scanning her finger, she pressed for the 34th floor.
Harvey was utterly astonished. He had no idea they were actually neighbors.
"You must be the occupant of the 35th floor, correct?"
Harvey tucked his cell phone beneath his coat and smiled at her. "Right, I’m thirty-five. I rarely visit this place; that’s why I didn’t know you lived in this building."
"I’ve only been living here recently," Serena replied as she looked straight ahead.
eting this powerful man in such a small space caused her heart to race for so reason. She rembered how Harvey had always treated Sawyer unfriendly. It was clear that their relationship was strained. Encountering Harvey now made her feel sowhat uneasy.
"Serena, did you know that Sawyer is married?"
Harvey’s question imdiately made Serena’s hands clenched tightly. Her heart ached once more as if it were being sliced open at the thought of Sawyer marrying that damn girl. Trying not to reveal her annoyance, she managed a thin smile before turning to Harvey.
"I know, brother. I t them a few days ago..." Serena replied calmly, suppressing her anger and jealousy; she didn’t want Harvey to see how she felt. But it was in vain because Harvey could see the flicker of jealousy and anger in her eyes.
Harvey smiled faintly as he turned to glance at the digital floor numbers above the elevator door.
Before they reached the 34th floor, he asked, "Serena, do you need my help?"
Serena frowned, looking at Harvey in confusion. "Help? What help?"
Harvey didn’t respond imdiately. Instead, he turned to face her, positioning them facing each other in the elevator.
"Ding!"
The elevator doors opened on the 34th floor, yet neither moved to get off. Harvey held the door to prevent it from closing.
"Want help getting revenge on Sawyer? I am more than willing to assist you if you agree."
Serena gasped in shock at Harvey’s offer. Before she could respond, Harvey added, "Give your phone."
"W-What?"
"Your phone," he said calmly, extending his hand toward her.
Even though she was confused, Serena took her phone from her bag and promptly handed it to Harvey after unlocking it.
Harvey smiled before dialing his number and saving it on her phone. Then, he handed it back to her. "Serena, you can call or text anyti if you agree—"
