Forgotten Romance: Take Me Back To You

She unknowingly embraced the man! The mixed emotion she feels at the moment gave her the adrenaline to hug him tight. 

Marcus and Jade went to the office together when Marcus received a call from the CEO of the KSAN Company.

They were at the lobby greeted by the employees when Marcus phone rung. He immediately halted from his tracks when he saw the caller while Jade accidently bumped onto his back. 

"I'm sorry, Mr. Hanes!" She immediately apologized when she realized that almost all the employees are looking at her indifferently. Though some were surprised to have witnessed such a tragic event since they all know that her mistake may cause her job. 'What an unlucky woman' was written all over their faces. 

The staffs and employees who witnessed her little mistake were all waiting for the CEO to humiliate the woman not knowing that she was the famous secretary everyone was talking about. They definitely heard about the certain woman who dared to go against the CEO but they didn't think it was her since her meek face was far from the image in their imagination.

Besides, only those in the upper management saw the woman's face and their description was way too far from Jade's gentle appearance at the moment.

"Hello?" Marcus answered the phone before facing Jade who was ċȧrėssing her forehead. The way he looks at her shocked the onlookers. His eyes were seemingly apologizing! 

She was about to motion the man to continue walking when she suddenly heard Jackie's name from Marcus' mouth and she kept silent and waited in anticipation for the man to finish the call. Look like it's about the case of Jackie's brother. 

"Thank you for letting me know. Have a great day then." Marcus voiced before putting his phone back to his pocket. He then met the woman's expectant eyes. 

He smiled. "They found him." 

Just that one sentence made her jump into his arms and hugged him tightly forgetting the people around them. Does she love Jackie that much?

"Thank you, thank you!" She muttered. "I know you would find him. Thank you!" She could almost cry due to her happiness. 

Marcus smiled and placed his one arm around her and pat her back. He was also carried away from her sudden reflexes that he didn't notice the employees around. 

It was only when Sonny came and cleared his throat aloud that Jade immediately broke away from him. She blushed greatly when she realized all eyes were on them at that very moment.

"I-I'm sorry… I got carried away by your great news." She forced a smile before bowing apologetically. 

Marcus didn't say a word but he turned his heels and walk towards the VIP elevator leaving the speechless employees. Jade and Sonny followed behind.

"Did you see that?!" One of the onlookers gasped as soon as the executives entered the lift. 

"Definitely!" Another said. 

"Could that woman be the CEO's rumored secret wife?"

"Looks like it was her. Did you see how sweet they were just a while ago?"

"I even took a photo of them! I think this will sell well." One lady giggled in excitement. 

"If you want to lose your job permanently then go, sell it." A friend of the lady who just spoke a while ago warned her. 

ON THE OTHER HAND, as soon as Jade reached her desk, she immediately searches for her phone and dialed Jackie's phone number. She wanted to tell her the good news as early as now so she could visit her brother in the hospital. 

"Don't worry, the culprit was put in prison right now. He won't be able to lay a finger on you anymore." Jade ȧssured the crying woman on the other line.

"Thank you so much, miss Jade, thank you!" Jackie was sobbing as she speaks. 

Jade gave her the hospital address before she hung up. The happiness inside of her was too overwhelming that she couldn't help but jump in joy. 

"Thank you, Marcus." She muttered within. 

********************************

Finally, she successfully entered the fully guarded house!

Last night, Zenia brought some alcohol to drink and went to visit Rey and his men at the house on the other side of the road. That night, she purposely left the key to her apartment and pretended to be drunk in hope that she'll be able to break inside the house as soon as the men gets drunk. 

However, she didn't know that Rey doesn't drink at all. Not because he can't but he chose not to despites being urged in different ways. She pretended to be drunk and was about to kiss the man but Rey is an honorable man who doesn't take advantage of women's weaknesses so he stopped her. 

"Where is your key? I'm sending you back to your apartment." He asked. 

The woman acted as if she's searching for her apartment key but after a few minutes, she gasped in dread. "Oh no, I think I forgot my keys inside my apartment!" She yelped. 

"Don't you have a spare key? Wait, I'll call the owner of the flat." The man was about to pick up his phone but the woman stopped him.

"Don't disturb her vacation…" She's stammering as if she was totally drunk. "Seriously? You want to call the woman who is in Switzerland right now?" 

"Switzerland?" He sighed defeated not knowing that the woman was lying. The truth is, she bought that apartment and it was fully paid. 

"I'll just sleep here on the ground. Don't worry about me." She smiled before lying on the cold ground. 

Rey sighed once again. His men finished a few bottles of beer but they can still guard the house for the night, however, the woman looks wasted and he can't possibly let her sleep on the cold ground.

Despites his hesitation, he carried the woman and motioned his men to open the door to the house. Hope he won't regret his decision to let her sleep on the couch at the living room for the night. 

UNKNOWN to Rey, Zenia was only pretending to be drunk and asleep at that moment. She came up with that abrupt plan when the man said he would send her back to her apartment. She has a spare key but she didn't tell him. 

She waited for an hour before she vigilantly stood up to roam around the house. She also brought four secret cameras that she can install in place inside. It was a nerve wrecking night but she managed to find some old photo albums. Then she used the hidden camera from her gold-platted necklace and recorded every useful information she found at that house. 

'Bingo!' She smirked within her when she found something that could help her locate the child's whereabouts. She was about to take a photo of it when she suddenly heard the door downstairs opened.

Damn! She could hear her heartbeat pounding loudly against her ċhėst due to her nervousness. It was definitely Rey! What will she do now?
