Working Closely

"Hi, I'm Lydia Jones," Lydia introduced shaking Luke's hands then gestured to Freya. "and this is Freya Jacobs, the leading lawyer at our law firm."

Luke held out his hand to shake Freya's hand, she paused glancing at him before she shook his hand. He held her hand as his eyes held hers and a slight smile touched his lips. He let go and turned to his office desk. He picked up a file then turned back to face them.

"It's a pleasure to meet you. Here is the file on the case we want you to work on." He gestured for them to sit down on the two seats in front of his desk while he walked to the one behind his desk and sat down.

"The director we are accusing of embezzling money is James Knight. He joined the company two years ago, and even though he joined us later on, the President promoted him to a director because of how good he was at his previous position as a manager."

"Hmm, but why do you think he is the one stealing the money?" Lydia asked, and they waited for his response.

"Here, read it. It has the answers to all your questions." He passed the file to them, and Lydia collected it.

Lydia opened the file and they started reading it. Freya saw that he and another director, Victor Simon are in charge of the company's money, and someone was removing 2% of each deposit and sending it to another bank account with the name, Richard Hunt. Later on, 5% was being removed and sent to the bank account.

Mr. Knight was suspected to be the culprit because Richard was his friend, and the fact that he was hiding their friendship. He only met him when he thought no one was around, but the President had someone keep an eye on him and the other director when he started noticing the transfer.

"We can't find the name or any information of the person that is sending the money, it's like we keep hitting a block. This also means that someone that knows about computer engineering is involved." He spoke after he saw that they were done reading the file and Lydia had placed it on the desk.

"I think so too since you can't find any information, but we need more evidence to prove him guilty, so we will dig deeper and get enough evidence." Freya said and Lydia nodded before saying, "Don't worry, Mr. Walters, you're in good hands as long as Freya's working on your case."

He smirked shifting his gaze to Freya and laced his strong fingers together on the table. "Oh, I know."

Freya looked away and blushed from his attention. She knew Lydia would ask her about him since he was making it too obvious that they knew each other.

"We will be going then if that's all and we will contact you after we get enough evidence." Lydia grabbed the file and stood up, Freya followed.

"Yes, that will be all. Thank you for your time."

"No, thank you." Lydia replied.

"Mrs. Jones, if you don't mind, I would like to talk to Freya alone." They both stopped, and Lydia looked back and forth between Freya and Luke.

"I don't mind at all. I will be waiting for you in the parking lot, Freya." She went out the door and Freya turned to Luke.

He stood from his desk and walked to stand in front of her. "You look beautiful as always dressed in your lady suit."

"Thank you, and you look just okay." She replied.

"Just okay?" He asked with a raised eyebrow and she laughed, "I'm teasing you, Luke. You look incredible especially dressed like this."

He chuckled and took her hand, "I thought I was the funny one."

"Did you?" Their laugh died down and she asked seriously, "When were you going to tell me that I will be working on your company's case, and that you dated Percy?"

"I wanted to surprise you for the case, and for Percy, it was a stupid mistake that I want to forget about. I wanted to tell you later on, but you found out on your own."

"Yes, last night during the girls' night."

"She was in my past, and now, Freya I'm all yours." Luke moved her hair from her face to behind her ear grazing the skin on her cheeks. Her breath hitched.

"I know. I have to go now, Lydia's waiting for me." She gave his hand a squeeze and dropped it.

"I'll call you." He said and watched her as she nodded and left the office.

Freya met Lydia at the parking lot, and they both got into Lydia's car to go back to their firm.

"Is he your boyfriend? It's obvious you're familiar with each other." Lydia asked from the passenger seat.

"Yes."

"You got the whole package." Freya knew why Lydia thought that, Luke had it all; the looks, the body, the money and even the personality.

"Definitely." She smiled as she reversed and drove off.

Dr David was operating in the hunted house. He was dressed in scrubs, a hair net and a face mask. He was cutting up a man on the gurney with a scalpel to use his Distilator on him. The man was one of his kidnapped victims. He worked at the hunted house and Clara was the only one that was aware of that.

The man on the table let out a scream as he plunged the machine deep inside his intestines. He closed his eyes enjoying the screams for a moment before he opened them and looked at the Distilator to see if he had found particles of the cure.

He kept on for half an hour and no luck. Turning off the Distilator and keeping it on the operating table, he stitched the man up and pressed a button to call in a nurse to take care of the victim.

He went to the changing room and changed back to his black dress shirt and jeans. He then went out of the hunted house and climbed into his Beatle. Freya. That was all he was thinking about, she covered his thoughts, and he was starting to develop an obsession towards her. He had to see Freya.
