Chapter 137 - Unloved
Keira doesn't feel the sa whenever Johanna isn't around. She didn't understand why a healthy woman would suffer fever for two days with no signs of cough or cold. Maybe it was due to fatigue but she doesn't seem to get tired easily.
"President, here are your papers," Vanessa said as Keira thanked her and checked it. "And Mr. Crawford is already in the lobby."
"Thank you." Keira smiled. "Send him in."
"Yes, ma'am."
Keira waited as the door opened and Connor/Conrad wore a nice suit, hair was waxed and brushed back. He looked completely stunning. Keira stood and gestured to the seat.
Vanessa was a little surprised that Connor or Conrad beca Mr. Crawford.
Keira extended her hand professionally as Connor shook it.
"Mrs. De Alegre, I'm here at your service," Connor said.
"You can leave us," Keira told Vanessa as Vanessa nodded and left. She sat down gracefully on the leather sofa and crossed her legs. "How's Johanna?"
"She was still sleeping when I left her. But her temperature lowers to 38 degrees celsius. I think she'll recover by this day." Connor answered as Keira nodded.
"I kind of missed her. Anyway, let's go to your office."
Keira stood as Connor followed and he opened the door for her. She set up his office by expanding Johanna's office. He has more privacy and security. The office could only be accessed by him, Keira, and Johanna.
"I am close to Jo?" Connor asked.
"Yes. The Secretary's office should be closed to the Executive Security. Johanna knows a lot about the security process. She could watch over while you are patrolling or would do whatnots."
"And Vanessa doesn't have access?"
"No." She shook her head. "Only the three of us… plus Harvey had access. It's better to be safe than sorry. Johanna didn't trust anyone except and our family."
"She's paranoid… which is good," Connor said and caressed the beautiful swivel chair. "You upgraded a few things here?"
"Yup. It should be secured with sothing concrete rather than glass. Johanna was aware that we have control with the security and the bodyguards would also help on roving and you can command them when it cos to our safety."
"Yes, ma'am." Connor saluted. "May I?" He asked as he gestured to the computers. Keira nodded as Connor sat down and turned it on. He also entered his password and whistled at the caras with audio. He put his microphone headset on and nodded at the audio that he was hearing. He checked a few of the things and changed his password. Then, he checked if the server could take the recording. "The server is good. The quality in the Sick Bastard's Squad is undoubtedly amazing."
"Yes," Keira gave him a bag with the tablet. "Your company phone and tablet. You could access it anywhere. It's also highly encrypted."
"Great. I could work from ho?"
"Yes," Keira looked at Johanna's table. "I only want you to stay with Jo. Her health and safety are a must. She's my only sister."
"I will, boss." Connor stood and turned it off. "Then, I should tour around?" He asked. She nodded. Connor with MJ and head bodyguard takes Connor around the floors.
Alessandro never expected that Connor would visit him early. This ti, he asked for his help. Although he's one of the great spies in EPUA, he lacked resources after leaving EPUA. With the addition of taking care and guarding Johanna. They are searching for Hannah Grace. Victor's sister. At the mont, they have a theory that she might have changed her na to hide. He didn't give any other information besides Mr. And Mrs. Baker's na.
Alessandro can track it down but he wasn't confident that Harvey wouldn't notice it. He had let Harvey have access to his emails and maybe he needed soone to do it. Jas Mondragon. If he goes to Androda Mondragon, it'll be too obvious. Now, they knew that Harvey was busy preparing the house for his fiancee and he'll be too occupied with this secret mission.
It's already a lunch eting and he left his phone and a few devices to Erald who waited outside. Alessandro even removed his coat and gave it to Erald. Jas greeted him with a hug and checked if he had any bugs on his body.
"So, what's up?" Jas asked as they sat down on the sofa.
"Well, I want you to trace a ghost. I can't do it on my own as soone was watching ."
"Ghost?" He mumbled.
"I think the Dragon Empire and EPUA erased the data about Victor Marquez and Hannah Grace Marquez. I want to dig it again for my friend."
"Sure." Jas titled his head. "What information do you have?"
"Besides a few people getting killed after they found out about her. According to my source, she's very dangerous. She's a natural killing machine."
"What the fu~" Jas covered his mouth. "Are you accurate?"
Alessandro nodded.
"That's what my source said. Also, I think she's close to us. But I have to verify it."
"How about photos?"
"I'll deliver it once I have it."
Jas nodded.
"Got it." Jas sighed. "How old is she?"
"She was seven years old when she got adopted and now, she's around 28 or 29 years old."
Violet was currently busy working on the app while scanning her photos. She already sent out a few details to Connor. Although the files were gone, it doesn't an that she didn't have photos of it. She was always careful. She will finish this app within three days. Suddenly, her alarm started wailing. She checked her computer and found Harvey entering her house. She scanned the photo of Hannah Grace. The latest that they got and she sent it to Conrad.
She quickly kicked her swivel chair as she rolled to the other side of the table and she made sure that her house was locked.
"Violet!" Harvey rang the doorbell. "We need to talk."
She pressed the microphone.
"Fuck off! You sick bastard!" She said sharply. Harvey chuckled and scratched his head.
"Co on! Don't be like that."
Violet ssaged MJ. She has to and even sent the link to the live video of Harvey.
"Let's talk right now."
"Stop what you are doing," Harvey said aloud. "If you want to live, stop it."
"How are you manipulating Hannah Grace?" Violet asked and she saw a different expression in his eyes that he quickly change.
"What do you an? Hannah Grace is dead."
"No. We knew well that Hannah Grace is your ace to kill Victor and crush the Charles Empire." Violet smirked. Harvey laughed aloud and shook his head.
"Co on, Vi. Open it." He said calmly. But she saw how his eyes dilated.
"Do you want MJ to know about this?" Violet smirked and Harvey laughed.
"Don't use my girlfriend."
"And yet you used to get to Victor. Didn't you."
"You don't understand." Harvey started punching on the keys to knowing her code.
"Do you want to kill too? Like you did to others?" Violet asked softly and watched him stopped from punching it.
"I won't kill you." He smiled at the cara but in a creepy way. Suddenly, his phone started ringing and he stared at it.
"You think I don't know what to do, Harvey? You knew well that I won't stop even though it'll cost my life."
"That's why I am stopping you," Harvey said and didn't answer the phone. "Stop it, Violet. I command you."
"I quit your team, Harvey."
"You can't quit." Harvey sighed and scratched his head. "I am doing this to protect you and protect Hannah Grace."
"So, Hannah Grace is indeed alive?" Violet smirked. "I already guess in my mind, Harvey. I'll find Hannah Grace."
"Hays," Harvey sighed. "It'll be a bad thing too."
Connor watched the video that Violet sent to her. If she dies, Harvey will be one of the suspects. At the sa ti, Violet was finishing up the app so they could find Hannah Grace.
"Can we go to Karmina?" Johanna asked.
"Sure, baby." Connor patted her head.
She's currently lying on his lap while she's watching an action movie.
"How about this afternoon?" He asked.
"Fine with . I want to see Keira." She mumbled.
"Alright," He patted and brushed his fingers to her hair. "You missed her?"
"Yeah." She answered.
When he raised his hand to tap on the tablet, she reached it and placed it back to her head. Connor smiled and continued brushing her hair with his fingers.
"Keira showed her love to more than anyone." She mumbled. "Even the ti that we t."
"Then, we will visit her."
He gently pressed his hand to her forehead and smiled.
"Your temperature went down." He then continued caressing her hair. "Are you obsessed with Keira?" He asked.
"What if I am?" She asked coldly.
"You kept mumbling her na in her sleep."
He reached for her hand and kissed it. Then, he continued brushing her hair with his fingers.
"That's because I have to protect her. I kept dreaming that everyone would die and I killed them." She said softly. Connor stopped brushing her hair and he caressed her curves.
"Babe, you know that you can tell everything."
"I just told you about my dream."
"I want to know more about you. And ask questions that you want to know about ."
She turned to her back to look up at him.
"I know about you." She said, "You like dogs."
"And yes, we can adopt one as our baby."
She stared at him and while he looked into her eyes, he saw sothing. Like pain.
"I don't want to."
"Why not?" He asked and caressed her beautiful face.
"I might kill the dog."
"Babe, you aren't killing any dogs." He chuckled and reached for her hand to kiss it. "Do you like dogs or cats?"
She nodded at him.
"Then, you won't kill them." He said to assure her.
She didn't speak for a few seconds and she said sothing that Connor didn't expect.
"I feel unloved everywhere. But I don't feel it when I am with Keira."
