When A Woman Retaliates - Chapter 82

It took almost 2hours to reach the site. However,  the scene they saw was not the same as they hoped for.

The government wanted to build a new residential area in the city. The project included houses,  school-collages, mosques,. Shopping malls etc. The area was like a mini, independent city within the capital. The project was huge and by acquiring this project,  Ahmed Corporations had gained a chance to connect with the government.  This opportunity was really prestigious for the company.

The construction was supposed to start from today.

But contrary to the lively and busy scene they had hoped for, Lisa and Baki saw a completely deserted area. Both if them were astonished to see this.

“What the hell happened here!!!” Lisa frowned as she began to panic inwardly.

Even if the construction work was delayed,  this site should not be as deserted as it was now. Lots of people should have been here. For the convenience of work, she had specifically arranged for the workers to stay at the site. The tents were still there but it was clear that no one had stayed there for a long time.

“I…I don’t know. Ahmed sir did not instruct me  to pay attention to this project.  Where is your secretary? ” Baki also felt that something was off and the problem was serious.

“I couldn’t contact her. Her phone was switched off.” Lisa tried to calm her heart down. It was not a time to panic.

“Then let’s go back to the office.  Her address and emergency contact should be in her file. We could try to find her there.” Baki suggested.

“Let’s go” Lisa nodded. There was no point to stay in this dead place anyway.

After Lisa returned to the office, she asked for Tuli’s file and began to call her emergency contact.

“Hello” a lady answer the phone..her voice seemed to be like an elder…it might be Tuli’s mother.

“Hello, may I speak to Tuli please?” Lisa said sweetly.

“And who are you?” the woman inquired.

“I…I am her colleague. I had something important to discuss with her but her phone was unreachable. So I had to call you. Sorry for bothering.” Lisa spoke politely.

“Oh..she has gone to Bandarban to attend her friend’s wedding. The network in that area is not always good. So you have to wait for her return. Is it emergency? ” hearing that it was Tuli’s colleagues, her mother spoke more warmly.

“Oh! No aunty. It’s not an emergency. I’ll contact her later.” Lisa forced herself to smile.

“It’s ok. Bye”

After hanging up the phone, Lisa’s face turned gloomy.

Bandarban? Friend’s wedding? What a joke!

She just spoke with her yesterday and repeatedly reminded her to come to Ahmed’s residence early. At that time she didn’t mention anything about friend’s wedding!

Moreover, Bandarban was not that isolated that even a Grameenphone network wouldn’t cover that area.

After the phonecall, Lisa had no other way to deceive herself. She understood very well that she had made a grave mistake.

She had guarded against outside enemies, but she forgot to guard her own back.

And due to her carelessness, she had been backstabbed by her own secretary and unfortunately…it was a fatal wound.

Lisa began to panic and her heart began to beat frantically.

As her secretary, Tuli was aware of the ins and outs of the project. She was also aware of many confidential informations…if those were leaked…then…

Lisa didn’t dare to think about the consequence.

‘What do I do??’ Lisa grabbed her hear and began to sob helplessly.

‘What do I do? What to do? What do I do?’
