Diana - Chapter 266

“What’s this about?” he received a reply from them, which was unusual.

“Everything is in the details sent to you just now. I tried investigating further, but the person has installed a virus that I unknowingly got. I couldn’t send you the proof, but if you want to waste time, you can…..”

He explained and ask them to try hacking into the airport feed to see what he saw.

Even though they don’t really believe Chris, they knew their boss will never dyed his hair, which made them wonder if he’s telling the truth.

They’ve been many cases where they receive ridiculous email and all, because someone wanted to lure their people out for revenge over one thing or the other, which is why they select the mail they took seriously.

There are people who spam their mail with photos of their husband’s mistress, and ask for their price in eliminating the mistress and many other annoying request that could be handled by just paying some random gang.

After Chris’s email, they began their search and didn’t miss the blade, just like Chris. The speed and everything makes them had their guesses on who it was immediately.

If it was really fast finger, what does he want with their boss. While others were greedy over him, they never made an attempt, because they don’t care.

They zoom in the blade and saw it’s the exact scalpel shaped blade he’s rumored to be using and had also seen with their own eyes, because they investigated opponent that’s rumored powerful and wanted.

They wanted to know what he’s made of, incase an opponent get him to their side.

After confirming it’s someone worthy of Nathan’s involvement, without ending up making a fool of themselves and getting him angry for answering to spam email, they decided to contact him immediately.

…

Meanwhile, Aroma has finally woken up and was staring at the man that was sleeping beside her bed, just like she used to do for him when he’s sick.

Her skin has regained its colour a little bit, by it’s still obvious she’s not completely healthy like her former self.

She was thinking of contacting the base to know if Diana has arrived the next day, and leave to talk to her the day after.

She slowly sat up and alerted Nathan, whose eyes sprung open immediately. Seeing her getting in a sitting position, he quickly got from the single plastic chair he’s sitting on, and sat on the bed.

He reached his hands to both sides of her face, as she stared at him blankly, “how do you feel now?” he asked.

“I’m fine, thank you.” she replied and was pulled into a hug immediately. “I was so worried. I’ve never seen you like this before.” he said and pulled back from the hug he didn’t receive a response to, but didn’t mind.

To be honest, Aroma knew she would have chosen to stay with Austin if not for him. Claiming it’s because of her work will be a lie, because she would have chosen his friend’s being alright over work, since she has everything she will ever needed to build a life.

“I will be fine. I’m sorry for the worry.” She said.

Nathan smiled at her and snuggle closer, which stunned her as he support her head to his chest and held her, “I know I shouldn’t be saying this right now, but about what you said, can you at least give me time to arrange and select a befitting successor?

You know it’s hard, but I will try working towards it Tiffany. Seeing you lay down here sick, I realize I need to do this for you, for us.” Nathan said.

“But you wish for me to stop my work till then right?” Aroma asked, already seeing through his plan. She’s surprised by what he said, because it’s the epic type that’s rare to come by.

He’s a man of his words, which means he will do it, but she knew it is a promise that could be fulfilled after 10 years, and he wanted to make her stay away from her job till then.

Pulling her back, he stared into her eyes with a serious expression, “Tiffany please..” he said, knowing this smart woman has think far already.

He wanted her to stop this job, but has responsibilities too. He can’t just neglect his work. Even if he chose to, just like he has decided now, it will take a long while.

“I understand you.” she said.

Nathan’s eyes seem to have a glow in them, the type Aroma hasn’t seen before and never thought she would ever see. She smiled softly, because it’s now she believes without any doubt that this guys is crazily in love with her.

“So, you’re agreeing to what I said?” Nathan asked, without any hint of boss’s authority in his tone, instead there’s excitement.

“I need time as well, so let’s talk more about it later.” she said and saw his expression shrinked.

“I can’t help seeing you like this anymore.” he tried to reason with her.

“It’s because of feelings that you start seeing things  that way. I’ve been safe all these while you didn’t mind, so nothing is going to change now that you do, so please let’s take it slowly, because I have personal matters I’m struggling with for now.” she said to him.

It was like a slap on his face, but he knew she’s right. But what sudden personal matter is she referring to.

“Let’s discuss it after you feel much better, but what personal matter are you referring to? are you seeing someone else?” he asked, as his mind drifted back to the mark on her neck the day she fell sick.

Aroma chuckled weakly, “seeing someone else?” she asked.

Nathan was about to mention the mark when his mobile device ring. He should be worried about what she will eat and all, but not that knowledgeable in romantic caring aspects, and thankfully, Aroma wasn’t experience in romance as well, so they just fit perfectly.

He didn’t think about it, and Aroma didn’t think about the fact that he didn’t, so no stress!

He got on his feet immediately he saw the caller to be one of the heads of one of his organization. He picked his call and answer to his greetings, before listening to what he had to say.

Aroma felt the room losing its warm temperature and turning chilly. Her gaze turned sharp as she knew it’s definitely business matter and it’s probably time to work.

“My twins brother got kidnapped by fast finger?” Nathan asked in an extremely cold tone, which sent tremors down Aroma’s spine.

‘What did Austin just brought upon himself?’ Her head screamed as fear gripped her heart and soul.
