The Destiny That Speaks

Chapter 22

As the day passes, Azura and Leo's relationship draws closer, Azura begins to feel that the time has come to look for the evidence she needs. He's looking for the right opportunity to access Leo's corporate data without being noticed. He looked for ideas on how to gain access to Leo's computer and copied some documents he considered important without Leo's knowledge.

Azura finds out that Leo is having an important meeting with a client. He used this opportunity to retrieve data from Leo's computer. Azura asks the secretary for permission to enter Leo's office on the grounds that there has been an appointment to meet him today.

With a racing heart, Azura seizes the opportunity when Leo is in an important meeting with his client. He knew that this was probably the best time to retrieve the data he needed undetected.

He goes to Leo's office, and with anxious feelings, he approaches his secretary's desk. "Excuse me, sorry to interrupt. I have an appointment with Leo today. Can I come in?"

The secretary nodded, "Of course, Ms. Azura. Mr. Leo still has a meeting. Please come in."

Azura entered Leo's office carefully, keeping from arousing suspicion. He felt tense knowing that he had to work quickly and carefully so as not to get caught off guard.

He steps up to Leo's computer and starts to act. Quickly, he searches for the data he needs, including evidence of embezzlement and the company's malicious Sentosa plans. He tried not to make any suspicious traces, but remained focused on his task.

"Luckily I already know this computer password. Leo was indeed reckless, letting me see him pressing the computer password." Azura Mumbled.

A few minutes later, Azura managed to copy the necessary data into the flash. He was relieved to have successfully completed this task undetected. However, his heart was still heavy because he knew that this was a risky act.

When finished, Azura returned everything to the way it was and sat sweetly on the sofa where the guests were sitting. He felt mixed feelings, between the success of his task and the burden he felt.

Azura sat quietly, trying to keep her appearance as if nothing had happened. He knew that now was a crucial time to keep calm and not attract attention.

Suddenly, Leo's secretary came in with a glass of drink. "Sorry to interrupt, Ms. Azura. Please drink."

Azura smiled and nodded, accepting the drink kindly. "Thank you, Ma'am."

As the secretary left, Azura felt anxious feelings return. He knew that his actions should be done with caution. He felt depressed, but he also knew that this was part of the plan he had put together.

Azura carefully opened her bag and inserted a pendrive containing the evidence she had taken from Leo's computer. He puts it in quickly, afraid that Leo might suddenly come in and find him holding a flash.

And it turns out to be true as Azura guesses, Leo comes right when Azura puts the flash in her bag.

"Hi, Azura. Have you been waiting a long time?" Sapa Leo's.

"N-no, Leo. I just came." Azura tried to calm down despite still looking nervous.

"You okay? You look pale, did Ravendra do anything bad to you again?" Leo is trying to be someone who is understanding.

"No, it's just that I miss you." Azura was out of ideas.

'Jeez Azura, why should the word miss be said. Leo must be thinking no.' Inner Azura.

"really? I miss you too." Leo smiled and grabbed Azura's hand. He clasped Azura's hand and stroked the back of her hand.

At the moment Azura could do nothing, she tried to smile even though her heart was very sick. He wanted to let go of his grip, but he remembered that he was playing a show for revenge.

Leo grew bolder by gently stroking Azura's cheek. He also tried to kiss Azura's red lips. Leo drew closer to Azura's body and tried to stick his lips to Azura's tiny lips.

Azura felt her heart almost stop beating as Leo got closer. He feels caught between two difficult choices - letting Leo do what he wants to get information or face the situation honestly.

While still trying to maintain a forced smile, Azura tried to keep a physical distance between them. He crossed his arms in front of his chest, as if inadvertently stopping Leo's movements. He tries to avoid Leo by standing up and turning his body around however...

Leo hugged her tightly, and the gentle kiss on her neck sent out a tickling tremor. Azura closed her eyes, letting the sensation creep slowly within her. There were flashes of memories behind it, flashes that made him want to break free and give himself to such a strong feeling.

But he has to stay on track. Azura broke free from Leo's embrace with a gentle, thin smile on her lips as she turned to face him. He understood that everything that was happening now was only an illusion, and a greater and more important reality awaited in front of him.

"Leo, I appreciate our time together" Azura said in a gentle tone, trying to calm the tension. "But I can't right now."

Leo smiled with a sly smile that always haunted his face, but Azura was not fooled. He knew that behind that smile was a dark ambition that had to be expressed and stopped. With determination, he looked into Leo's eyes with increasingly strong courage.

He won't let himself get caught up in the dangerous game of love again. This time, he will take control of his own life and stop his evil plans.

"Sorry, Leo," he said in a soft voice, trying to avoid further touching. "I feel a little tired today. Maybe we can continue next time."

Leo who was still holding Azura's hand again seemed a bit disappointed, but he responded with understanding. "Of course, Azura. Your health is more important. I get it."

He let go of his grasp and took a few steps back. Azura was relieved that she managed to avoid a more complicated situation. He felt that he had made it through this exam, and he also felt good to see how Leo believed in the charade he was doing.

Azura knew that the game was getting more dangerous and it was getting harder to maintain the theatrics she was doing. Azura knows that this plan is not easy, but she must stick to her plan to protect Ravendra's company and uncover Leo's evil plans.

Azura returns home to Leo. Leo who wanted to look attentive also offered to drive him but was rejected by Azura.

"Let me drive you home, Azura." Leo offered himself.

Azura gave a faint smile to Leo. "Thank you for the offer, Leo. But actually I brought my own car today. I'll go home by myself."

Again Leo seemed a bit disappointed, but he tried to stay friendly. "All right, then. Make sure you get home safe."

"Of course, thank you for your concern, Leo." Azura replied while nodding.

The two of them stood in front of the office building, as if in a normal situation. However, behind smiles and polite words, Azura knew that the truth she was hiding was still among them.

Azura did not know if Bima had been following her all along. Bima who from the beginning was suspicious of the unusual behavior of Azura, managed to follow Azura. Now Bima put her suspicions on Azura and started to no longer trust her.

When Azura entered her car and left, she felt a complicated mix of emotions. On the one hand, she feels she managed to avoid a more complicated situation with Leo. On the other hand, she felt sad and full of regret because she had to play such a complicated and difficult role. Moreover, he kept all this from Ravendra, it made him even more sad.

However, Azura could not give up. He knows that his goal is to protect the company and uncover the truth. He reminded himself that all of this was part of the plan he had laid out, even though his heart felt heavy.

Back in the car, he saw a photo of Ravendra on the dashboard of his car. A gentle smile was engraved on his face as he pondered about Ravendra's determination and support. He knew that he was not alone in this struggle.

Azura drove her car home, trying to stay focused on the final goal. He felt that he had been having a hard day, but he also felt that he was getting closer to the moment where the truth would be revealed.

With mixed feelings, she recalled how Leo had tried to kiss her lips. In her previous life, she did not try to resist, but instead she enjoyed the kiss she had with Leo.

In Leo's office, Azura has done the forbidden thing with Leo because he has betrayed Ravendra. Azura does all that in the name of love, her love for Leo has blinded everything.

Now, Azura regretted everything. He wept and begged Ravendra to forgive all his mistakes in his previous life. He feels dirty and unworthy to be by Ravendra's side, loved by her even loved.
