Tempting My Rented Boyfriend - Chapter 162

Ch-161

A month passed…

In the past few days, Cedric and Eleanor stayed in touch. But as days passed their interactions turned fewer.

They are both immersed in their work. Eleanor successfully got Callan’s project. She also made all the arrangements for her dream project. There were improvements in Martin’s condition.

But despite all these, Myna turned grumpier by the attacks of Edward, Valene and Charlie were eating her brain with their back-to-back confessions. And these three men were surrounding her house like night guards. She couldn’t hold it and shifted into Zora’s house for a few days till she found a new apartment.

Myna and Eleanor were sharing their beds when they were sleeping. And as usual they don’t know how to behave like humans and now let’s talk about them being a woman. They forgot they were humans with brains and slept like they were sleeping after ten days of no sleep.

Aiden could only shake his head when he saw the weird daughters in his house. He tried to wake them up but he was kicked by Eleanor in her sleep. That taught him quite an experience and from then he started sending female servants. Only the female servants knew their struggles.

And the most fortunate thing was… they only needed to wake up only one person. When one person wakes up, the other one would automatically wake the other person.

Their life was completely peaceful. Nathaira didn’t pull any stunts. She is still yet to get information about Nathaira and Cedric. They found his life from overseas for all six years but his starting two years of life at foreign was wiped off. It’s as if he never lived there.

Juke was still trying to find the information about them during that time. When he first spoke with Eleanor about himself, he was so confident about his skills but now his confidence was thinning in this case. He was trying so hard. Even he wanted to know what exactly has happened that made people hide the thing this harder. Why the hell that knowing information about a person was so hard.

Juke was a junior of Martin. When he was in university, Martin helped him and his family. Even though he and his family were good now… he still felt he owed Martin. And a proud Man like Martin would never take help. His debt was intact till now. Now… When Eleanor asked for his help he could do nothing.

Meanwhile…

The sound of the toilet flush could be heard from the bathroom. Soon, it stopped and a man came out of the bathroom kicking the door shut with his left leg, he walked ahead. The room was dark which made him or others unable to see a single thing in the darkroom.

When he took a step ahead his leg almost rolled because of the thing under his leg. Lowering his head, he saw it was a coke can which he drank five days ago. Kickin it, he walked lazily to his chair as he continued to kick all the stuff on the floor on his way.

In a single glance, one could say the room has no difference between a dump yard and his room. He has a full-grown beard which was unshaved. His face was covered in dirt which showed he hadn’t washed his face yet. But still, he didn’t feel dirty. Walking towards his computer, he sat on the table.

He slouched on his chair feeling vexed.

“Damn! It’s been a month! Why the hell I don’t get a single lead!?” he yelled as he kicked the table. Due to his kick the table jerked which made the emptied can and the eaten chips fall on the ground.

Getting up from his seat, he walked to the fridge to grab a beer but he found the fridge was empty. And there weren’t even instant noodles for him to fill his stomach.

Sighing, he turned on the lights in the room. He suddenly felt that the room had a thick stench that made everyone unable to stay there for a second. He sighed loudly as he needed to clean the dump yard oops the room.

Picking up the trash bag and the broom, he started cleaning the room. The whole room was clean of the trash but it needed to be mopped seriously that made him feel the coming back pain. Taking the mop and the bucket of water he mopped the house. Taking the alcohol spray he cleaned his computer desktop and his gadgets. Finally being satisfied with himself and the work, he decided to go to the supermarket. He bought all the things which can last for him for the coming next few weeks. The cashier in the supermarket was petrified to see an alien there. She thought she saw a caveman who came to the modern world in the clothes of a modern man. His clothes were dirtied, his face wasn’t clean and his beard wasn’t shaved.

Feeling weird in his presence she quickly cleared his bill and handed over his card. The man took his card and walked outside. Placing his stuff in the car, he drove back. He could feel the itch of his beard. He groaned in irritation when he realized he needed to shave and bathe. Damn! He bathed last week itself. How probably one needs to bathe? Groaning, he quickly drove the car to his apartment.

After putting the things he brought from the supermarket in the fridge and the cupboards. He went to his bedroom. Stripping himself naked, he stood in front of the mirror in his bathroom and shaved his beard. Then he took a long steamy bath before coming out refreshed.

“Hmm… it feels so good after taking a bath. Sigh… but still it’s a hassle to take a bath daily,” he muttered to himself.

He got dressed in his loungewear and walked back to his computer. He sprayed a refresher in his house. The smell was good for his mind and his body. Sitting in a relaxed pose, he opened his computer.

He continued to do the work that he was supposed to. All of a sudden, his computer beeped with an anonymous person chatting.

[Hi, This is XYZ. I found the nurse who dealt with Cedric’s case when he attempted suicide.] a message popped out of his window.

[Where is she?] Juke sent.

[She is on an island that has only two hundred and fifty families. After that case, she left the country Arrowglen.] the message said.

[Did you talk with her about the case?] Juke asked.

[She isn’t opening her mouth about that. She starts crying whenever that topic is raised.] XYZ said.

[Send me her address. I will deal from here.] Juke said.

[Sure. Payment before address after.] XYZ said.

[sent!] he said in a split second.

[Received.] XYZ messaged.

[This is her address. ] XYZ added.

[okay.] Juke replied.

[May I know why you are finding him?] XYZ asked after the deal was done.

[Repaying the kindness given to me and my family standing in the society.] his message read.

[Hope you are successful in it. By the way, I have another piece of news.] XYZ message read.

[what was it?] he asked.

[I have bonus information. Pay me more. The information is yours.] XYZ’s message read.

[name the price.] Juke’s message read.

[As usual.] he got the reply.

Juke sighed and paid the amount.

[Received.] XYZ’s message read.

[Her daughter went missing during that time. If you find her daughter and re-unite them… then you may have a chance of getting information from her. And I know where her daughter is.] he said.

Juke knew what the other person was asking. This man does his work on time but is stingy with money. Every word that came from his mouth was valuable to him. And people who need something and only he could help. Then we need to pay him despite the other party’s position.

Juke sighed and sent the money again.

Immediately his computer dinged with a message and there held an address.

[Her daughter… still searches for her mother. As for the lost cause of her daughter, find it yourself.] XYZ’s message resounded.

With that, the other party went offline. Juke took his phone out and dialed Eleanor’s number.

———–

Eleanor was dealing with her paperwork. These days the work has turned hectic for her. Her own company and her family company were weighing her down. She was sailing on two boats with two legs on each other.

But she was coping with both the companies. The work of her new restaurant seems to be going well. She has to say that Arnold was doing a pretty job with the employee team she sent to him. The work was going at a fast pace.

Now… she was looking at the report of the collaboration between the Callan’s and Zora’s group. Just then her phone rang flashing the name of Juke.

“I at least hope you got a lead this time,” Eleanor said, not even greeting him.

“I got,” the other party answered and she almost jumped off her seat in excitement.
