Ghost CEO Naughty
Still Deadlocked
Dion parked his car in front of the shophouse. A place where small-medium entrepreneurs make a living. Then he walked through several shophouses and entered the door that read barber shop.
Inside, Dion walked past some workers and entered a dark glass door. That's where the person he's headed is. A mature woman with a strange appearance. She wears tight jeans with a tiger-patterned croptop top. Cigarette smoke billowed from his mouth. His eyes looked mischievously at Dion who was standing not far from him.
"Well, look who's coming now." The woman clapped her hands as if to mock.
"There's something I need" Dion said without further ado.
"certainly so. There's no way a respectable Dion would suddenly come to see me out of longing, right?" he said it with sarcasm.
"I need this." Dion put a clear plastic-wrapped pill on the woman's desk.
The woman frowned looking at the pill Dion had brought.
"Where did you get that from?"
"You don't need to know. Just give me the pill."
"I need to know because I'm the only one who's producing those pills! Just me, Mirna!" the woman's breath was hunting with anger.
"I think you already know. Aren't you still grieving."
"You!!" Mirna pointed at Dion with mounting anger.
"I wonder who that cunning bastard who killed my men after taking advantage of him. I didn't expect a respectable Dion to be capable of that."
"Don't forget, my craftiness is down from you, mother." Dion's grin widens.
"HUH! After so many years of leaving me now you still consider me mother."
"Of course, it's just mom I have right now."
"There is no need to bother pretending to get your wish. Business is business even if you're my son."
Dion nodded with thinning lips.
"Give me two bottles of those pills."
"It's easy, just give me the money."
Dion took out a large envelope that was so thick, and placed it on the table next to the pill.
Mirna picked up and opened the envelope.
"I want to double."
"You're crazy! That amount already exceeds the price you used to offer."
"Take it as compensation because you killed my confidants. That's a really cheap price compared to you having to replace it with your life. I won't be merciful even if you're my flesh and blood." Mirna raised her eyebrows. The two big men who had been silent in the corner of the room came closer to Dion.
Bugh.. Dion threw another envelope.
"Give me the stuff!"
Mirna gave the code to one of the men, then the man took something from a safe that was stored under the floor.
"You let me know where my secret storage is because you're a special guest, Dion." Mirna looked at Dion who was observing the man.
"Thank you, I'm so flattered." sneered Dion.
The man handed over two small bottles of pills that Dion had requested to Mirna. Mirna handed it to Dion. However, before Dion took it Mirna pulled back her hand.
"Don't try to betray me like you did to my men."
"Let's just relax, I just inherited your nature, mother."
Mirna smiled. "Good." Then Mirna actually handed over the bottle.
Dion kept the two small bottles in his pocket in his jacket. "I'm leaving." He turned around to leave the room. Back past some men who were queuing up to shave his hair. No one would have thought, if this barber shop was where the drug dealer operated.

A week passed, Devan and Leo were still deadlocked about how Dion or anyone else put poison into the sealed bottled beverage. And if it's Dion, the question increases. When's? It makes more sense that Celina did it, because the girl was alone inside Devan's apartment. But, both Leo and Devan both deny the thought.
Offending about Celina, Leo had already taken the medicine that Celina always took secretly while Celina slept last weekend.
"Aren't you guys going to be like you all day?" Mia ruffled her waist across the second table. He could no longer bear to see his two superiors daydream since. It's already lunchtime, but they stay at home with their seats leaning up and their heads looking up at the ceiling.
"I know you're thinking about who did it, but isn't this too much?"
"You can daydream at home, why bother coming to the office?"
Leo and Devan are still flinching.
"Ah come on, you daydream as much. I'd better go to lunch." Mia walked out of the room to head to the canteen.
Bugh.. Mia closed the door a little hard.
"He's angry." exclaimed Devan turning to Leo.
Leo looked at Devan.
"After that, he's your girlfriend."
"Totally so."
"Wait what else!" Leo was furious to see Devan still sitting leaning back.
Devan then rises to catch up with Mia. Afraid she's getting angry.
***
"Is the atmosphere still the same as it used to be?" Devan sat in front of Mia while putting down her plate. The point of his speech was about Mia who was always away.
"As you can see." Mia glanced around. Sure enough, many clerks whispered to see Devan sitting with Mia. Devan took a glance at them, making everyone immediately duck.
"Where's leo? Is he still daydreaming?"
"I'm here, why ask another man?"
Mia glanced sharply at Devan's reply.
"Leo said he'd order food."
Mia nodded unconcernedly.
"Mia."
Mia immediately withdrew her hand as Devan was about to touch her.
"Sorry." Devan was unconscious.
"I'm first." Mia gets up and leaves Devan.
Devan soon followed him.
"Hey hey!" Devan drew Mia's hand while in the deserted corridor.
"Deliver, Dev! If anyone sees what?"
"That's why come here." Devan pulls Mia to the emergency staircase.
"You're all right, this is in the office."
"I know. But there's no one here."
"Continue?"
Grebe.. Devan hugged Mia suddenly. Of course Mia rebelled for fear that anyone would see.
"Dev!"
"So afraid of the will?" Devan let go of his embrace.
Mia nodded.
"You didn't see that? We ate with them like that. Especially if they know we're dating."
"OK okay. I'm sorry. I'm going to go first." Devan rubbed the top of Mia's hair, then walked out of the emergency stairs. After a while, Mia followed him.
After they left, one more person came out of there while putting his phone in a bag of pants.
