Wonderings: Cheek Kiss
[Kael]
“I’m sorry Natalia but I have to deal with this. You can leave for now.” I told her.
She smiled at me and she stood up from the couch and walked over to me. She placed a light kiss on my cheek before she said her goodbyes.
She said she would be coming back tomorrow to see me. I wanted to tell her not to come but I knew I couldn’t do that.
I just nodded and told her that it was up to her if she wanted to come tomorrow.
“I’ll be sure to come here early. I’ll even make you lunch.” She said excitedly.
I didn’t bother answering her and I just let her leave my office. She went over to the elevators but before she went in, she looked back at me and blew me a kiss.

[Kael] “Burn that.” I ordered. She nodded and took the handkerchief away. I went back to my office and called Terrence, I wanted to know what they found. It was a good thing that Terrence picked up the call quickly. I was on edge after spending half of the day with Natalia. I felt like all the stress from the past week couldn’t even compare to this. “Did you find anything?” I asked. I thought it was Terrence who answered the call but it turned out to be Aira. She told me that Terrene was still driving and they were on their way here to talk about the details. It was too risky to talk about it over the phone so we decided it was better to talk in person. A few minutes later, both of them arrived.
Wonderings Wonderings: Listening Device
[Kael] “Natalia was in here, right? Was there a time where you didn’t have your eyes on her?” Terrence asked. I looked at him, confused as to what he meant. I shook my head and told him that Natalia was clinging on to me the whole time she was here so she was always in my field of vision. “Are you sure?” Terrence asked. He walked around my office and he looked like he was looking for something. As he walked past the plant on the coffee table, he stopped and fumbled through the leaves. Aira and I looked at him curiously. We didn’t know what he was doing but it looked like he was determined to find something. At last, he straightened up and held out his hand. In his palm, there looked to be a tiny metal piece. He held it with his two fingers and crushed it easily.
Wonderings Wonderings: Another Attempt
[Kael] “That was a listening device. She must’ve planted it while you had your eyes on something.” Terrence said. I was astonished, I didn’t even know that she placed it on the plant. I wasn’t even aware that she would go to this extent just to spy on me. Why would she do that? Why would she have to keep ears on me? “I knew there was a reason why she came over here. It wasn’t just because she wanted to see you, she needed more leverage against you. She wants to sabotage the launch. If we had talked about work while not noticing that device, we'd seriously be in trouble.” Terrence explained. I couldn't comprehend how twisted Natalia had become. She kidnapped Amelia and now she’s even spying on me. What more could she want?
Wonderings Wonderings: Caged Animal
[Kael] “Also, we found out about something in the apartment complex. The person in room 407 was a guy planted by Natalia. He was put there to guard the door where we think Amelia is. Someone tipped us off about the possibility of Amelia being inside that room. A little boy who lives next door often heard crying from that room and he even called Natalia, a mean lady. Also, Natalia locks the room from the outside. I bet she even locked all of the windows on the inside to prevent Amelia from escaping.” Aira explained to me. It felt like all of the strength in my body disappeared. She’s treating Amelia like she’s an animal trapped inside of a cage.
Wonderings Wonderings: Funding
[Kael] “We need to do something and we need to do it fast. There has to be a way to save Amelia.” I told them, I was starting to feel desperate. Terrence walked over to me and he put his hand on my shoulder. “It’s not going to be easy.” Terrence said. I looked up at him and I knew he was thinking about something. I urged him to tell me. “Someone’s supporting Natalia. Someone’s letting her do all of these and I believe whoever it is, it’s someone powerful. It’s someone who has a lot of money to be able to support Natalia. If we want to help Amelia, we need to deal with that person first. If we don’t then there’s no guarantee that Natalia could do things all over again.” Terrence said. I agreed with him. According to the information that my PI got, someone in London is funding Natalia’s obsession. We need to find a way to cut off her money so she
Wonderings Wonderings: Another Investigation
[Kael]After talking to Aira and Terrence, I decided to investigate more on the mysterious person that's been supporting Natalia. I had thought that Natalia probably tricked someone in London to give her some funding. What kind of person would just let someone do illegal things under their funding? I don't think someone would be that stupid however, I could be wrong. There's a possibility that that person could have known about everything and is still willing to help Natalia despite all of the illegal things she's been doing. I also hired investigators in London to help with the search. Any information on that person could change everything."The launch is tomorrow, are you still busy checking everything?" Terrence walked into my office and asked me about the launch. I've been busy about the whole launch as well as the investigation about Amelia that I barely slept. I didn't want to slack off during the preparations of the launch since we had a crisis not too lon
Wonderings Wonderings: Product Launch
[Terrence]The day of the launch is finally here. I brought Aira with me as my date for the event. I drove to her house to pick her up and she was dressed really nicely. I couldn’t help but admire her beauty.“What are you looking at?” She asked. I smiled at her and held her hand.“You’re really beautiful.” I said. A smile formed on her lips and a light tint of pink spread across her face. She tried to cover her face but I held her hands tight. She giggled as she tried to get her hands free but I refused to let her go. I kissed her hands before I let them go.“I never knew you were such a sweet talker, babe. But stop teasing me and let’s get going. You can’t be late.” She urged me to start the
Wonderings Wonderings: Success
[Terrence]We arrived at the hotel and it was already swarming with journalists. While walking towards the entrance, I could hear the journalists throwing questions at me like what our thoughts were about our competitors releasing a product ahead of us and how we’re dealing with the random rumors circulating online. I just ignored all of them and continued to walk and enter the hotel. I held Aira’s hands tight so she wouldn’t feel burdened by the flashing lights and the journalists’ questions. When we entered the function hall, I saw Kael was already there. He was talking to some of the investors who showed up.“Mr. Pearce.” I called out to him and shook his hands. Whenever we’re in front of the investors or what Kael likes to call them ‘old blokes’ we tend to act professional. We knew they were distrusting of us since we were young and sti
