Chapter 141

" Lim, the phone!" Rosary shouted on top of her voice to get his attention. Lim, who saw that the girl wouldn't give up, not until the phone was picked up. And who knows might be calling him at this time?

"Yeah, I will answer it" he said, and release her, which Rosary was grateful for.

At least, he didn't take it too far.

Lim sighed, and picked up the vibrating phone.

"Hello? "

"Hello boss, the cat has been caught"

"Alright, I'll be here" Lim said, and cut the call.

Immediately, his face was covered with a mocking smile, replaced with a serious cold look. He turned to Rosary, who was catching her breath.

"Ma!" He called and turned away. Suddenly, a lady in her thirties dressed in a maid's uniform runs in.

"Milord" she bowed.

"I am leaving, make sure to take good care of her" he said, and didn't spare a look at Rosary before he dragged on his loose jacket on the cushion of the couch and walked out the room.

Rosary stared at his retreating back and wondered if something might have happened.

Why did he look so serious all of a sudden? She asked herself inwardly, but saw not to understand the man's mood.

As soon as Lim disappeared from the room, the lady turned to Rosary and bowed.

"Milady, what do you like to do?" She asked sweetly.

Rosary darted her eyes at her. "I.. I need nothing" she replied, blushing as if the lady might have seen them doing that. Her cheeks turned red just thinking about his touch on her body.

"Alright milady. But would you like to walk around the compound before sun set?" The lady asked, trying to keep her busy since the boss wasn't around. She does not want the girl to feel bored. 

From the way the girl looks, she bet she would be 20 or less. Ma wondered what relationship the little woman had with her boss. Isn't she too young to start a life of being a tycoon's boss's mistress? But no matter whatever the relationship between the girl and her boss was, she did not care. 

"No, I am fine. I just have to go to my room" Rosary shyly said. 

"Are you sure, milady?" Ma asked with concern. Doubting if the girl is surely fine just as she claims. 

" Yes! " She replied and left while Ma kept on staring at her retreating back.

"I told you, your son is a waste to this family!" Mr Smith shouted at his wife while roaming around the room in a pool of anger. 

" But, he is trying his best", Mrs Smith tried to reason with her husband before putting blame on the boy. 

 " You say trying his best? What has he done in this family? Nothing! Absolutely nothing! He is nothing but a waste! " Mr Smith yelled. He has been waiting for Steve to arrive for almost two hours now. The smiths company had a representation with a big deal that could benefit the company, but Steve wasn't around to take over the representation. 

That caused the company to lose the deal because there was no one to take over the place of Mr Smith. 

" I don't know if I am the true father of that bastard you call a son!" 

At that moment, Steve walked into the room. But the atmosphere was stern, he could feel the heat of his father's anger. 

" Dad?" He called slightly. His father and mother were both in the lounge with long faces. Immediately, Steve senses things weren't right. 

" My son" Mrs Smith called with concern. She knew her husband was going to use his frustration on the boy. 

But before Steve could make a step, his father said, " Where the hell did you think you're coming from!" Mr Smith burst out angrily. The anger he had been trying to hold back, pulled out. He couldn't believe he had wasted being a son. He had trusted that contract in the hands of Steve, but since the disappearance of Rosary. Steve could be able to remember the contract the company have. 

" But Dad. I told you before. I am coming back from home" 

" Your home? Due to your stupidity, the company lost a huge amount of money all because of you!" Mr Smith shouted. 

" Dear, I know you are angry, but please take it easy with him. Maybe something comes up-" 

" Shut the fuck up woman! I am not talking to you. Understand?!" Mr Smith cut her short before his wife could defend the boy. He didn't want to hear any excuses, but he fully believed the boy would take responsibility fully this time. But no! He still keeps on disappointing him! 

"I'm... sorry Dad. Something came up and I ..." 

"What came up was more important than your father's company. Tell me! "

Steve kept quiet, he knew no matter how much he tried to explain himself to his father. He would bother to listen to him..

"I want you to get things done. You have to go to Old Walter's birthday party. Make friends with Lim Walter to corroborate with our company. If not, I will disown you as my son!" Mr Smith said, and left the room in cold feet. 

"Son" Mrs Smith called and walked up to her son. "I know you are sad, but believe me. Just do what your father wants and everything will be fine" she said, patting him on the shoulder. 

"Alright mum" 

"Good boy. I will go and calm your father down. Okay" 

Steve nodded and watched his mother leave the room. As far he knew, his hatred for Lim Walter would remain the same. He had never liked that man since the day his father compared him to Lim. 

Since the damage had been made, he had no choice but to consider his father's words. 

After quick thinking, he bought out his phone and dialed the number of the girl that quickly called him earlier. 

"Hello sir" a girlish voice said on the line. 

"You said something about Rosary. What do you know?" 

" I really didn't know a thing but my suspect was someone" Ava said.

" Someone? Who will that be?"

"Mr.."

" Do you know what? Why don't you just come to the state and explain everything you know to me . I will pay for anything you want", Steve said before Ava could even make sure the name of the person she suspected.

"Alright sir. That would be great" she said, accepting the offer to come back to the state. She had wished to visit some places she wouldn't be able to go to but this was a life opportunity for her and also exposing the one behind Rosary's disappearance.
