ASSISTANT CULUN

Chapter 26. Afraid?

After breakfast, Abigail and Trias began to contact some colleagues to postpone Darren's work schedule for one week.

Both of them looked serious to the point of unconsciousness when Darren had been there with a glare fixed on Abigail.

The memory of seeing the girl fight always looms over. It made Darren feel disturbed. Uncomfortable, Darren decides to leave.

The sun was rising, but the work of Abigail and Trias was not finished.

"Hmmm!!! Sorry to interrupt." Micah came with a tab in his hand. "I think you guys need to see this." The impression while playing the video and put the flat object so that Abigail and Trias can see comfortably.

It turned out that the video was a national television newscast that reported on the death of Brody de Lima, son of presidential candidate Robert de Lima.

What makes Abigail and Trias look at each other, is the cause of Brody's death. The man's death was caused by an explosion from a gas pipe in an old pier while Brody was fishing.

Even the body of the man was immediately buried without an autopsy process first.

"Although that's the case, we won't lower our vigilance." Micah said as the video ended.

"It looks like Mr. Robert is only concerned with career rather than family." Abigail Mumbled.

Micah looked at Abigail with sadness. "He can do the worst for his career."

Trias stood up immediately. "I have to see Darren." Say goodbye.

Micah nodded and allowed Trias to leave. After Trias died, Abigail looked at her brother with a probing look.

"What's wrong?"

"We're talking in my study." Micah went first and entered a room that had been designed to be soundproof.

Abigail took a sitting position in front of Micah.

"Based on Rosalin's confession and Triassic's suspicions. I asked someone to interrogate Ron." Micah's face looked very serious.

"He claimed the location of Mrs Brody's murder was Rosalin's idea."

Abigail frowning. "So, Rosalin did deliberately make Darren a witness."

Micah took some sheets of paper and handed them to Abigail.

"It was a copy of Rosalin's conversation with Darren's late assistant. From there it appears that Rosalin did know exactly what Darren was doing."

Abigail took a deep breath and exhaled violently. Then he started reading every chat Rosalin had with Darren's former assistant.

"Then, where's Ron?"

"Liam saw him executed after Liam and his partner left the place." Micah answered while massaging his temple. "Not the police officer who arrived first. Except for the other group."

Abigail leaned her back then closed her eyes and took a heavy breath.

"There are a lot of secrets in this case. I thought my mission was coming to an end, but it turned out I was wrong."

Micah looked at Abigail sharply. "They'll be over soon. I've decided to pull you out of the case. This is not just my thinking. After Liam and his partner finished stalking, he immediately asked me to pull you."

Abigail was silent, she felt something strange. He should have been happy at this time, but in fact there was a feeling of sadness that arose when he heard Micah's words.

☘️☘️☘️

Abigail approached Darren who was sitting on the terrace. The young man seemed to be thinking of something.

"Can I interrupt your time?"

Darren was aghast at Abigail's arrival.

"Eh!! Yeah, please."

Darren frowned, he then looked straight ahead with a glaring gaze, trying to remember past events.

"I don't know how close. But a few times I've seen the two of them joking." Darren looked at Abigail in surprise. "What's wrong?"

Abigail smiled as she shook her head. "There are a few things I want to know for your safety. Do you mind?"

Darren laughed a little. "My security yes. I think you want to know how far I've come with Rosalin." He looked at Abigail deeply.

Abigail shrugged both of her shoulders. "Maybe, someday I'll ask that too."

Darren smiled faintly. "I can't wait for that moment to come."

The atmosphere became silent after Abigail finished speaking. Both are immersed in their own thoughts.

And in the end Darren decided to end the silence.

"Why did you have to look so weird?"

Abigail looked at Darren's face and smiled faintly. He had expected the young man before him to have a myriad of questions about his role.

"I got word that you don't like being guarded by a girl. So, our leader was looking for a way to keep me close to you without making you uncomfortable with being taken care of by a girl."

"Is that all?" Darren looks in disbelief. "Or maybe it's because your leader doesn't want your beauty to be admired by men."

"Hmmmm???" Abigail laughs. "That's ridiculous."

"It could be, she wants your beauty for herself." Darren started to get emotional. In his mind, the agency leader overshadowing Abigail was a fat, short middle-aged man with an oily face as well as thin hair.

Hearing that, Abigail's laughter grew louder. Even his eyes water. Darren was more and more fascinated to see Abigail laughing out loud.

"Don't jump to conclusions." Abigail said after her laughter had subsided.

Darren smiled knot. "I'm grateful it's not what I think it is." Even he showed a relieved face without being covered.

Abigail felt her chest rustle as Darren spoke and stared at her intensely. He became restless. Even unknowingly there was a tinge of red appearing on his cheek.

"Ad.there's something I have to do, excuse me." The answer is to Darren.

Abigail left the place in a hurry. But he felt that Darren was still watching him from behind.

The girl hurriedly entered and locked her room. He held onto his chest that was beating unnoticed.

"I can't get close to him too often. Not good for my heart health."

He sat on the sofa in the corner of his room right next to the window. With legs crossed and hands propping up his chin, Abigail again thought of Micah's words that would pull her from the case.

Abigail felt something strange about Micah's attitude. He became more protective and did not hesitate to come to the location when Abigail went on a mission. Micah has never been like that. There seemed to be something that made Micah anxious and.

Scared??? But what is it that scares you??? Abigail stared out the window with a glaring look.

Meanwhile Micah stared at an old photograph showing Abigail's happy smile in her parents' arms. Micah smiled and rubbed the face of little Abigail.

Micah's chest tightened, his tears began to pool. But for a moment, the sadness turned into anger. He rubbed his tears violently.

"If there's a chance, I'll kill you with my own hands!!!" He stared at the tab which was displaying news of a middle-aged man. His eyes were filled with hatred.
