My Dad Turns Out to be Eyes

Nathan immediately pressed the button on the speaker, he hoped Robert remembered to install the earphones that he had released a moment ago.

"Robert? Are you still there?" Nathan wondered to Robert.

"What's wrong?" Robert finally answered. "He's not here anymore, Nathan. He's not at this address."

"Yes, that's because he's already taking her towards the outside of the city. I didn't see any sign of Jessica in the car, but the man was definitely John. He probably took Jessica in the trunk of his car. And Robert. we've been following in his car's footsteps from the cctv ever since. He did go out of town. I don't know where it is, but she's out of town.."

"Out of town?"

"Yes, he turned to the pivot road that was going to head out of town! The street is almost a forest road, there won't be any cctv cameras there."

"I'm going to follow him" Robert said, creaking the tires of the car then sounding through the speakers and echoing throughout the office room. 

"I'll send you a picture of the car and the license plate number. You check your phone." Nathan said.

"Yes!" replied Robert. "And so, are you still working on the keys, Nathan?"

Nathan looked behind him at the table with the design he had been working on since earlier on it. She obviously could not track Jessica down and also did key work at the same time. Nathan then took a moment to shut up before then he cleared his throat awkwardly.

"Yes, I'm trying to keep an eye on John" Nathan tries to tell Robert. "I can't do two things at once."

"Nathan, maybe we still need the key" replied Robert. "We haven't caught him yet for now. So that's definitely the key to our plan, Nathan."

And then the phone line went off. Robert turned it off one-sidedly. Nathan cursed softly before Alice looked at him. The girl looked silent, seemingly taking a moment to think of something before she spoke with a calm looking facial expression.

No. gabe. Nathan wants to be the one to track Jessica down. He could barely say that to Alice. His personal life has nothing to do with his work but the two things now seem to be intertwined since Jessica existed.

"Yes, I can do the keys if that's what you're worried about." Alice answered Nathan, tidying up his clothes. "As you know I have a degree in the field"

"I don't doubt your abilities, Alice" Nathan tried to tell him. "Yes .. I think I'd rather stay here.I mean.in case Robert needs me again ..."

"You don't have to make excuses like that sir," Alice said to him. He walks to the desk behind to look at Nathan's design work. "I honestly know that you're worried about her daughter. Everyone in the organization already knows that you both do have something."

Nathan's brows furrowed upon hearing that and he saw John's facial expression on his monitor. He lowered his head while gritting his teeth before then he spoke.

"Jessica and I were friends" Nathan said, trying to lie. "He's been through a lot recently. There are many things I cannot understand."

"Yes, honestly we all know that you took Miss Jessica on a day trip. And one of the friends even said he saw you two kissing outside before" Alice replied. "Why should you hide it. You're allowed to have a relationship, you know. It makes you look normal."

Nathan just scoffs at Alice and starts typing again on the computer.

"Whoever sees us. Please remind me to put him on the garbage duty, later" Nathan muttered as he continued to focus on his computer.

Alice grinned and looked back to see Nathan standing by his desk. His lips lifted and he shook his head slowly. Alice thought of the money she would lose from betting with her co-workers. Yes, his other friends did take him to bet about whether the daughter of Robert was in a relationship with Nathan or not.

'They're friends? So will I lose my bet and lose my money?' inner Alice.
