The fear and pain I had then were now all coming back, in a flash, to me again. But this time, anger was weighing more than anything else. I had my eyes in his direction, but as I was lost in my thoughts, I did not notice when he moved closer to where I was. Until I returned from my wandering thoughts.
“I heard you are a lady zombie next to this young man Mister Alfonso,” Mister Leblanc murmured, turning his head to look at a busily making coffee Marco who had his back to us. “Maybe you are not so useless in bed if he is keeping you to his side like his dear wife,” he whispered with one of his hands rubbing the jeans of my pants on the knee closest to his spot.
My anger was overwhelming me. So much to contain that I could not even move a finger to express my disgust towards this despicable dirty old fox.

“I cannot recall how it happened, but I can remember seeing all red when I saw Marco drop like a dead man on the floor after that old scumbag told me that if Marco drank the coffee Marco had made, he would soon be dead from poison,” I answered with a blank face, staring at Marco. The rear backseat of the vehicle was arranged to flatten wide the space, so Marco could lie on his back while we move him to my place. My lap was his pillow to elevate his head as he was on his back, lying flat on the car floor, almost lifeless as his complexion had turned so pale. Gab did not say anything. He must have been taken by surprise hearing my statement, but what can I do? I really do not remember. I tried to continue recollecting and told Gab everything I could recall. “It was only a couple of ten seconds bet
“It is my duty to save lives. We are used to being called round-the-clock but thank you for acknowledging our efforts. However, we aren’t done here yet,” the doctor pointed his chin to Marco on the patient’s bed. “Skye, this is Doctor Dave Green. He is running his own clinic, so I could pull him out and drag him here more easily than those who work for big hospitals,” Naomi introduced the good doctor, then she also introduced me in return. “Doctor Green, this is Skye. She is the boss now that Mister Marco Alfonso here is not well at the moment,” Naomi said without stammering. “What do you mean?” I asked Naomi. I was totally clueless. “Only you can decide what we should and should not do with Mister Alfonso until he regains consciousness. I believe that is what Marco would want to happen,” Naomi answer
Gab’s POV The moment I stepped out of Marco’s office since that was what the guest demanded I do. Apparently, he did not like my presence because I was not revealing my identity, I asked for one of our men around me to hand me a tab where I could keep an eye on Marco and Skye while they were in the room while I was standing right outside its door. “Fuck!” I groaned in frustration. “What’s wrong, boss?” asked the guy who handed me the tablet. “Can you check the control room to see if they have access to the security cameras inside the boss’ office?” I answered his question with another question, but I was pretty sure they got the panic in my words because everyone turned into full alert without making any sound, not even verbal.
Skye’s answer alarmed me. No wonder there was no blood on Marco because wasn’t shot!“He was poisoned….” was all that registered in my mind when Skye answered my panicked queries. I heard her say a lot or at least more than what I could barely recall by now, but these three words were the only ones I could remember.Being poisoned would have been as fatal if not more than being shot by a gun’s bullet because if the poison penetrated the bloodstream, it would be challenging to pull through the rough patch if the golden time slips away.I noticed the cups lying on the floor not far from where Marco must have fallen. I figured that must have been the poison. In the coffee. I ordered one of our men to collect the cups and cut the part of the carpet where the coffee was sp
She told me everything that had happened. Well, according to her statement, that was all she could remember. I was beyond shocked, but I tried to keep my reaction all to myself. I guess she was too busy worrying for Marco that Skye did not notice my astonishment.I wanted to ask if she was alright, knowing she must have seen how Mister Leblanc looked after what she did to his face. But I was afraid to step a line and annoy her or remind her of such ugly thoughts which might trigger her trauma. It would be better if she were conscious, although it might just be temporarily.We arrived at the place. I tried to act as composed as I could manage. I know our security was doing their job, but I did not want to step out of the vehicle without checking our surroundings from my spot inside the car. Considering Marco’s current state, I did not dally, bu
I agree with her idea not to stay idle. Every second counts. Every idea should be thought through. And every individual would have an important role to play. I am glad o know that Skye was willing to help us, but to be honest, I did not want to bother her with things like this. It will bring her more danger if she gets to the surface. She might be considered the weak point on Marco’s side. Hence, the enemies will try to put pressure on her.We also have to be properly equipped with strategic plans if Skye is dipping a finger to help in this situation. That includes legal papers.Skye seemed to be in full support of keeping Marco’s spot preserved until the man gets back on his feet. She did not seem fazed when I mentioned needing documents to solidify our move if she was going to assist. She was even so casual when she replied with a ques
I told Skye the possible scenario of the meeting that she was going to attend in the car on the way to the company. She was calm, as far as I could notice. She was not bothered by anything at all. She just asked a few questions regarding some matters, and I answered all of them according to the best of my knowledge. “Tell me if you feel pressured. We can always shake our sleeves and tell them to wait until Marco returns from an urgent business trip,” I assured Skye. “I have seen how Marco deals with his meetings. I can imitate his behavior and make them feel that although it is a woman’s face they are having the meeting with, Marco’s presence won’t be denied being around,” Skye answered with a stern tone. I did not say anything in response, but I affirmed her words with a firm nod. I got busy contacting our people again, anticipating our arrival in the building, and preparing everything for Skye to face anyone in the conference room. Everyone confirmed their location. Even the doc
Skye’s POVOn the way to the meeting, I asked Gab what about Mister Leblanc. Gab said he is one of the company’s stock shareholders, but someone would probably be there instead of him, just like he always does. Right now, that old deceitful fox is being treated somewhere only our men knew.“We do not see anyone making their moves despite the incident happening a few hours already,” Gab said. “We have to ensure we have this man hidden in our custody for the time being. His men might be moving in the dark.”I nodded.“What is the objective of this meeting?” I asked again.“The objective was said to be confidential, so we can only speculate until we
