Tempting My Rented Boyfriend - Chapter 163

Ch-162

“I got a lead,” Juke’s voice resounded from the other side.

“What is the result?” She asked.

“I found a woman who could tell the mystery of Cedric but I need to make a deal with her. If it is successful only then we can get the information from her.” He said.

“Make it quick,” she said.

“I will,” he replied.

“I credited the money into your account. Now don’t worry,” she said.

“I didn’t give my bank details to you,” he said.

“My brother’s dairy contains all. Now all I need is updates,” she said.

“Ms. Zora…” before he could continue he was cut off.

“When will I get the updates of my brother’s case,” she asked.

“I have a person. His name is XYZ. He is good at finishing his tasks. But he demands a huge amount of money,” he said.

“Give me his contact. I will talk to him,” Elanor said.

“OK,” he said.

After that, he hung up the call and sent the number to her.

Juke got ready and decided to leave to the place where the nurse was residing.

On the other hand…

Eleanor was ringing the number of the guy XYZ. She wondered who in the world would keep their name as XYZ.

“Hello,” a kiddish voice could be heard from the other side. She was shocked to know that a kid can do these things.

“Hello, XYZ,” Eleanor greeted.

“You are…?” He questioned.

“Juke recommended you to me. I need you to do work for me,” she said without beating around the bush.

“What do you need?” He asked.

“I will send a few documents to you. Solve the mystery behind it for me,” she said.

“It needs money,” he said.

“I know. Name your price and send me your bank details,” she said.

“You sure don’t waste the time when making the deals,” he said

“Indeed. Time is money kid,” she replied.

“Who is kid? I am a big man!” the other side said angrily.

“Ayyo… ayooo… despite how much you argue with me you are still a kid.” she humored.

“I will meet you and show myself I am not a kid,” he said and hung up the call.

Eleanor: “…”

“What the hell did I do?” XYZ muttered under his breath. Nevertheless, he continued to check the task she gave to him and started working on it.

———-

Eleanor smirked the moment he hung the call.

Today… Cedric would return from Alvonia. He asked her to pick him up from the airport. Remembering her task, she closed all the work and picked her keys to drive.

An hour later….

Eleanor reached the airport. She reached the gateway where he should be but he was nowhere to be found. She found his assistant near the women’s washroom. Walking there, she didn’t see Cedric. However, after an hour of strenuous car driving in the heavy traffic, she needs to clear her bladder. Walking inside one of the cubicle she cleared her bladder. Washing her hands, she wiped them with a wet tissue.

She came outside and decided to call Cedric. She wanted to go near the assistant but a naughty thought came into her mind. Eleanor wanted to scare him. Wherever he was his phone would ring. So, since his assistant was near then it means Cedric was near. She could easily follow his ringtone. She patted herself for being smart. With a huge smile, she dialed his number. As expected she could hear Cedric’s phone ringing. He has a certain unique ringtone that no one has. She walked ahead following it, As she walked further the ringtone sound turned louder. Her smile grew wider, despite what he did. She already forgave him. And this one month has a void for her. And even though their interactions were fewer, they managed to squeeze time for each other and talk about their day.

Now… she was going to see the only man in her life. She was so damn excited that she couldn’t help but jump in joy. Maybe she should hug him tightly and kiss him the moment she sees him. And tonight shall be a romantic night, she felt shy at the thought of taking an initiative for the first time on that topic. Suddenly her call was cut. She frowned. Nevertheless, she didn’t call him again.

Finally putting her thoughts aside, she turned the corner. It was a dark corner, she wondered what he was doing here. She was so excited about seeing him, but what was he doing in the dark corner and a point where no one would roam. Was he not excited to see her? She shook her head saying she shouldn’t be thinking negatively about Cedric. He might have anger issues but he was a good person. With a smile, she walked ahead. She saw a couple kissing hot and the man was too rough with her. Eleanor lowered her head, feeling shy. She passed them but she found him nowhere. The man’s physique was quite similar to Cedric’s. But she didn’t think the person was Cedric because he would never kiss another woman than her.

Picking her phone, she dialed his number again.

Lalalala tutututu papapa

The same ringtone which belonged to Cedric came from the man who was busy making out with the woman behind her. Turning around she saw the man cutting her call impatiently. That’s when she saw his face clearly, it’s none other than…. CEDRIC.

Her world shattered right in front of her eyes.

She never thought Cedric would do this to her. Moving her eyes she saw the woman was Nathaira. Tears pooled in her eyes, she was betrayed again.

But she didn’t let them fall. Wiping her tears harshly, she picked her phone and snapped their picture. Walking ahead, she pulled Cedric with his collar and slapped him hard.

*pak*

A loud sound echoed in the empty corridors.

She could see his chocolaty brown eyes were in a darker shade. She thought… only she has the privilege to see that shade… but looks like she was wrong. Unable to control her anger, she raised her and slapped his other cheek.

His dark chocolaty eyes were filled with anger now. But she didn’t care. She slapped both cheeks again.

“Bastard! If you want to be with her, you shouldn’t have dated me and given me hope! Let’s break up!” she spat out harshly.

When she was about to turn around and take another step, she was caught by someone. Before she could wriggle the person called guards. All the while, she looked into Cedric’s eyes but he wasn’t moving. His eyes were a little dazed. She looked at Nathaira who was giving her a victory smirk.

Biting the wrist of the person who caught her, she freed herself. She slapped Cedric harshly before running from the opposite side. She could see Emerson’s guards were running after her. She has only two options right now. Hide somewhere safely and call Valene or her father. And the other option was to get caught by them and get beaten up.

She chose the first option. Her vision was turning blurry because of the tears, but she wouldn’t let them catch her. She will hide. She dialed Valene’s number hoping he would pick the call. But for some reason, he wasn’t picking the call. She dialed Myna’s number but even she wasn’t picking.

Eleanor saw a small room enough for one person to fit, Squeezing herself inside it, she used a broken door which was leaning on the side of the wall, to cover herself. She kept her phone silent.

She badly missed her brother Martin. If he was there, he would have picked her call immediately. Tears cascaded from her eyes.

[God. Please, help me.] she prayed. Finally, she decided to call her father.

When she was about to dial her father’s number, her phone flashed Valene’s number. She desperately picked his call.

“Hello,” Valene said the moment Eleanor picked the call.

“Brother. Help me. Please,” Eleanor said in tears.

Earlier he was in a meeting, he didn’t pick the call. The moment the meeting ended, he called her.

But there was something wrong with her.

“Brother… you are right. He is a monster. He would do something to me. Save me, please,” she pleaded.

Red bells started ringing in his brain. He suddenly started panicking. Picking his jacket, he connected the call to the Bluetooth and started walking down.

“What happened? Where are you?” Valene asked.

“I am in the airport to pick Cedric. But… I saw him kissing Nathaira. I couldn’t hold myself and slapped him. He sent his men after me. I am scared, brother. I’m hiding. Please come,” she said.

“Don’t cut the call. I am coming,” he said.

“Come, Faster. Please. I am scared. He might kill me,” she cried as tears spilled out of her eyes.

“Count numbers while you wait,” he said.

Valene doesn’t know what came over him. He sped his car.. While he summoned his men.
