20 It's chloe

En, miss Edmonds I am only in shortage of secretary. But don't worry the work is not much as I have one more secretary and an assistant. And you will work here also. The salary is better and the office will also provide you with lodgings." He said professionally like he didn't see her expressions.

"Ok sir, I understand." She signed the contract. She could always gossip with the staff and clients. Something is better than nothing. And she was sure if she would go home jobless, her brother would fume in anger.

"What are you doing here?" She was surprised to see Victor the moment she came out of the restaurant.

********

In the hospital.

"Mrs Edmonds met Mr Davis and Mr Reymond; they are the new psychiatrist who has joined us today. You will work as Mr Davis assistant from today." Said the MD introducing both the doctors.

"It's nice to meet you, sir, I have heard a lot about you," replied Cynthia with a smile. Yes, she is living in the human realm as the wife of Victor for her safety purposes.

"Nice to meet you too Mrs Edmonds," he replied, shaking her hands. She has to force her hand out of the new doctor like he is just not ready to leave it. And the way he is looking, it was like a lost family member was found.

"Are you okay sir?" She asked confusedly, she was sure she had never seen this man before.

"Oh yes. I am fine. Just a bit happy to return to my homeland. Don't mind this old man." He replied smilingly.

"Come let me show you your new office."

*******

"How do you know him?" asked Adam to Valerie, he has seen her surprised reaction.

"He is my brother. You have seen him with his wife and me in the mall." She replied in a low voice.

Right now they were standing in a corner while police were questioning everyone.

"Can you tell us what you know about that robbery Mr Smith?" asked the head while Victor was noting down all the details told by the staff. They both were questioning all the people around.

"I was in the hotel at that time. The meeting was just finished and I went into my office when I took the call that my mother was burned In the fire and they didn't even find her body." He replied with a quivering voice.

"Oh, but isn't it strange that they found everyone's body although burnt badly. But only your mother's body was missing?" She asked again

"How do I know that officer? I must ask you that. I was not present there but you must have checked CCTV footage of that day." He asked in a very low and dangerous voice.

"Well, We did. But most of the tapes were burned badly. so, the footage is not clear enough. And the three people who were saved, one was telling that your mother teleported them out. One moment they were inside and another moment they were out.

While the other two said they were pushed out through the window. But the robbers noticed it and that's why the whole incident happened." At this Leo clenched his hand so bad, blood started to drip because of the pen he was holding. Still, he didn't feel any pain. His eyes were burning like hellfire. Yet his body was releasing a very cold and dangerous aura. Everyone in the room felt a chill around them. Victor noticed the question and the change in the temperature of the room. He looked at Leo suspiciously. But within moments the room became normal like all this was only an illusion.

"I don't know what you are talking about the officer. How can you believe in all this nonsense? No person can teleport or vanish into thin air. The person must be in shock. And if that really would have been the case why haven't the other two survivors said the same thing?" He asked like he is amused to hear the rubbish.

"Yeah, I know. Thank you, Mr Smith. We will contact you again if needed." She said, asking her team to pack up.

"So did anyone get any important information?" Asked Chloe to come out.

"No, they said similar things like they knew Mrs Smith for a long time and they never heard or seen about vanishing or teleportation." Replied all the three other members.

"Looks like there is nothing much we can do in this case." She said disappointed. She knows there is something, her gut feeling is telling but she doesn't know what it is? And she can't let her people suffer because of it.

"Why don't we ask patients after a few days. Maybe they could tell us about something." Asked Victor. He wants to know more about this case. Chloe smiled, she liked him the day he joined the dept.

He is smart, sensitive and a very cool person, he doesn't lose his temper, no Matter what idiocracy is being said. And there is some charm in his golden eyes. Like they are attracting her towards him. She has seen many muscles and Abs in this profession. But she has never met someone so handsome. His masculine jaw, and the way his hairs fall in his face freely when he comb them through his fingers.

God how could a man be so stunning. It should be announced as a crime. So that she can keep him in her prison forever.

"Hey boss, what happened? Are you listening?" He asked, waving his hands in front of her.

God, she can't believe she was gawking at him and lost in his eyes.

"Yeah, oh yes I am fine. Just thinking victor, do you believe in all this magic and teleportation?" She asked for changing the topic.

"I don't know the boss. I think anything can be possible in today's world." He replied, shrugging his shoulders.

"It's Chloe." She said smilingly.
