Trapped in the Love of the President

Chapter 80

Vincent was stunned for a moment after listening to the recording Lucas provided in his email.

"Have you investigated who that man was?" vincent asked Lucas, who was waiting across the phone.

"No, Boss. The man used an untraceable number and his voice was also disguised" Lucas explained.

"Continue following Steve! I think what the man wants now is the Green Resort plan and if my guess is correct, it means that the man is Adrian Song" said Vincent coldly.

"Begging our people to follow Adrian as well and report immediately if there is anything suspicious!" vincent's orders were sharp and hung up.

Vincent clasped his phone tightly, "Adrian Song!" his murmur was sharp and closed his eyes tightly.

Vincent opens his eyes and picks up the phone in his room and calls his secretary outside, "Olivia, call Steve now! Tell him I'm in the room. Get him into my room!" his orders without waiting for an answer from his secretary.

Not for how long there was an incoming message on Vincent's phone. He opened it and let his smile read the message.

My Chubby ❤

Honey, I'll be home with Tiffany. Maybe a bit late in the morning, because there is a birthday event for college friends.

Vincent immediately replied to a message from his lover.

My Bear ❤

Don't go home too late. I'll pick you up later. Share loc to me where the show will be.

Without waiting long, Amira replied to his message was accompanied by emoji kiss.

My Chubby ❤

Ready, Boss! Muaaccchhh 😘😘

Engraved a smile on Vincent's lips as he read the message, he held his lips with his thumb. Suddenly the door of his room was knocked, breaking his daydream. He immediately put down his phone and fixed his face flat.

"Lake in!" his orders to someone who is none other than Steve.

Steve walked into the room nervously. He walked slowly closer to the table where Vincent was now sitting.

"Sir," said Steve trying to adjust his breathing slowly, because he was quite hasty earlier after receiving a call from Olivia.

Vincent smiled with a grin at the sight of Steve right now in front of him who looked nervous, "What was there looking for me?" ask Vincent flat.

"Ah, this is Mr. Vincent. I'd like to submit the Green Resort project's design and ask for your approval" Steve explained, trying to be calm and putting the document on Vincent's desk.

Vincent glanced at the document at a glance and turned to look at Steve, "At the speed of your work. What awards do you want to get?" vincent asked, insinuating Steve, but Steve didn't know.

"Ah, no need sir. It's my job" replied Steve, holding the nape of his neck.

"Well, I'll think about it after seeing the results of your work" Vincent replied as he opened the documents given.

Ten minutes passed, but no voice or response from Vincent was still reading the document. The room was so quiet that not even a lizard dared to make its voice. There was only the sound of a gust of air conditioner that let out the cold pierced into Steve's skin that had frozen because of nervousness and tension waiting for Vincent's answer.

"Hm ...." That's all it sounds like from Vincent's lips.

Vincent looked at Steve sharply. He admitted that Steve's hard work made the plan really good and almost perfect according to him. It's a pity that he lost someone as talented as Steve. He knew Steve was under pressure, but he couldn't let it go.

"Steve, I've read it all ...," said Vincent deliberately hanging his sentence to see Steve's expression which is currently very hopeful that the design is accepted.

"... but there is a slight lack .." continued Vincent interrupted as Steve interrupted his speech.

"Where's the lack, sir? I'll change it now!" steve's reply quickly made Vincent even more convinced that his suspicions were true that the mysterious man wanted the draft he was holding at the moment.

"Steve," said Vincent as he closed the document in his hand and stared intently at Steve. Steve returned Vincent's gaze nervously and took pains to swallow his saliva.

"Is there something you're hiding from me?" vincent asked coldly to stab into Steve's fast-paced heart.

'Did Mr Vincent suspect me?'

Steve rubbed his sweat on his forehead. His voice was stifled at the question posed to him. A thousand knives seemed to be pointing before him waiting for the truth from his trembling lips.

Vincent remained patient and silent waiting for the answer to be spoken by the man in front of him who was fighting with his mind at the moment.

'Do I have to tell the truth?' inner Steve.

'But if Mr. Vincent doesn't trust me and fires me instead, how about Helen?'

Various doubts and questions arose in Steve's mind at this time. Vincent realizes that Steve still seems hesitant to tell him the truth.

"You're a talented man, Steve. I will not ignore employees like you. If you want to tell me about your problem, maybe I can help you solve it" Vincent said, trying to convince Steve.

Upon hearing Vincent's remark, Steve's initially doubtful gaze toward Vincent turned sharp. There's a speck of trust in Steve's bead right now.

"Sir Vincent ... actually ..." Steve let out a long sigh before continuing his words and looking at Vincent full of confidence.

"There was actually someone threatening me. He kidnapped my brother and asked me to take the results of the Green Resort project that you have agreed to, ", Steve said, trying to explain the situation that is currently being squeezed.

Vincent links his fingers with both elbows on the table. Listen to Steve carefully. His gaze full of suspicion turned into a look of admiration. He could sense that he was not misjudging someone like Steve.

"Thank you for being honest and staying loyal to the Royal Group. All right, as promised, I'll help you save your brother, but I need your cooperation" Vincent said.

"I'll do it for you and my sister!" reply Steve firmly.

Eventually the two of them had a long discussion in the room and set up a strategy against Adrian Song and saved Helen.

To be continue ....
