My Only Love: The Targeted Heiress

Chapter 69 - The Lion Tattoo

The receptionist girl was still sitting on the floor with her head down as if she was crying. In fact, she was not crying but counting the seconds before the female guest who had pushed her returned and walked into the building.

The receptionist girl glanced at the woman and hid her satisfied smile when she saw the older woman coming back in, cursing indistinctly. It was as clear as the day the woman lost the girl.

The older woman vented her anger by scolding her and even threatened that she would be fired if she didn't apologize.

The young woman shed tears in her charade and looked at the woman with a pitiful face as if she was begging for mercy. But in her heart, she laughed sarcastically because she knew this woman didn't have any power to fire her.

"I'm sorry, madam. I don't know my mistake. I'm really worried about you. I just wanted to help you. You look very sick earlier." this young girl spoke with a natural-sounding fake sobbing.

"Hmph!! I will report this to your superiors. I will make sure you will be fired today!"

"Madam, please don't... Huhuhu..."

The young girl was still sobbing with tears as the arrogant older woman walked back towards the elevator. Her crying stopped as soon as the woman got into the elevator.

She casually rose to her feet and tidied up her wrinkled uniform. Then she turned the CCTV camera back on through her tablet. She added some recordings and editing the footage so it would seem their CCTV never stopped recording.

She was used to doing it that she could finish quickly without anyone knowing. Once finished, she put her tablet back away and acted as though nothing had happened before.

On the other hand, Steve Mango, aka Stevanord Paxton, was changing clothes to go to the next shooting location. And no one knew that at the lower part of the abdomen covered in trousers, there was a tattoo of the same image as the young receptionist girl.

Nobody knew; both came from the same organization and were now both watching Catherine's movements while providing silent protection.

As soon as he got dressed, Steve began to wonder what kept his guest from coming. He had not yet had time to pick up his cellphone to ask his partner in the receptionist spot when his ears heard a step. He immediately put back his cellphone and put on his big smile.

"Mama, are you are coming again," he said as soon as an arrogant old woman entered the room.

"What do you mean I came again? I can't visit my favorite child?"

Steve gave an embarrassed smile. "Uh, that's not what I meant," he said as he walked to his mother and hugged her.

When his mother couldn't see his face, Steve's smile vanished, wondering if his mother had ever seen Cathy's face. He felt something strange about his mother's expression at this moment.

By the time he let go of his hug, Steve's smile was back on his face perfectly.

"Did something happen? You look pale."

His mother looked pensive for a moment and then looked up at him.

"Have you ever seen anyone who looks like that woman?"

Tsk... so his mother did see the girl's face. What is his colleague doing down there?

"That woman? Which woman?" Steve gave a pure confused look as if he did not understand what his mother inquires.

"That one... sixteen years ago... at the Eastern Wallace mansion. You can't possibly forget about her."

"Ahhh... Do you mean aunt Chloeny? Of course, I remember her. How could I forget about my favorite aunt?"

"Sssssttt! How could you? We can't say that name. It was taboo."

Steve just sighed in a pretense of guilt. Who decided that his aunt's name was a taboo word?

"Then what's with that woman?" asked Steve in a confused tone.

"I saw her downstairs earlier. She's still alive. She's very healthy even."

Once again, Steve sighed. "Mama, it's impossible for someone who has died to live again. You must be hallucinating."

"No. I saw it with my own eyes. Let's check it on your CCTV camera. I'm sure I'm not wrong."

"That would be very troublesome."

Unfortunately, his mother had already gone out first to the security floor. His mother managed to force the camera supervisor to replay the CCTV recording on the ground floor.

Steve caught up with his mother and accompanied her to see the screen that was now rotating as his mother entered the building's lobby.

Nothing happened for five minutes because her mother only played on her cellphone in front of the elevator. Then the mother got into the lift and a second later dashed out of the elevator, followed by the receptionist intercepted.

Strangely, no one appeared and walked in front of the elevator. Her mother said she rushed out to chase the passer-by, but no one appeared on the CCTV footage. Now his mother stared in horror at the screen.

"Looks like you are too tired." came the concern from Steve, "You should go home first. I have a shooting schedule after this, so I can't accompany you. See you at home." Steve replied, kissing his mother on the cheek and walking toward the car park where the driver and manager waited for him to leave for the shooting location.

Brittany Paxton, Steve's mother, walked towards the elevator in a daze. She wondered if her cousin's spirit was not calm and was now coming to haunt her?

Brittany looked behind her in fear that the spirit would appear before her again. She immediately entered the elevator and descended to the ground floor. She ignored the receptionist girl who greeted her and immediately ran to her car. She wanted to leave this place immediately.

Meanwhile, the receptionist lady gave her thumbs up at the CCTV camera. The supervisor who was guarding the television screen was just shaking his head when he saw the receptionist woman's triumphant smile.

Apparently, on the back of the camera watcher's neck, there was the same tattoo as the receptionist lady and Steve Mango.
