She sent an email asking the private investigator of any bounty works she can do to earn quick money, he sent her a list of names and their last whereabouts in the city.

She despise the work she did before, but she still not able to run from it even in the new life, but she does need the money to locate her friends and if they know each other.

Daniel ate just enough to satiate his hunger from skipping a meal the entire day, he always used to eat Helena's cooking that it gave him a bit of dissatisfactions from not being able to taste it, he didn't realized this tiny little detail will be the beginning of his annoyance on Helena's indifferences towards him.

He strode to the living room and noticed a half read French book on the coffee table, he picked it up and skimmed through the synopsis of the book and looked at butler Kim that is currently bringing him a glass of wine.

"who read this"

"Second Young Mistress sir." Butler Kim also was a little surprised seeing Helena picked up a foreign language book from the bookshelves. However he thought it wasn't a big deal, perhaps Helena does know the language seeing she had grew up in the Lee household.

Daniel looked again at the title and thought back on the investigations she made of Helena before they were married 1 year ago, it did not mention on her knowledge regarding extra language at all, and Troy has made an extensive check jus to make sure she wasn't planning anything against the Anderson family.

He put the book back on the table and grab the wine glass from butler Kim and climb the stairs to go to his bedroom. He passed Helena's bedroom and stop for a minute to hear any movement inside, when he heard nothing, he walked away and headed to his bedroom to take a long hot shower.

Morning comes and Daniel was sitting for his breakfast, he keeps looking at the stairs direction and his wrist watch to see if Helena has woken up, Troy stood next to him going through a series of documents regarding the software upgrade they had agreed upon.

They heard a singing voice comin from the entrance and Helena dressed in a work out clothes coming inside with her ear buds without looking at them to go up the stairs, before her hand reached the banister she stops and turned to see Daniel darken face and Troy amazement gazed smiling sheepishly at her, he definitely has a crush on his boss's wife.

"What's up" she looked at Daniel that removing his eyes from peering her way. He drank his coffee and placing it back to the table, Helena saw the steaming freshly brewed coffee in a pot and walked towards them to pour her some coffee as well. She took the cup on the dining table located near Troy and sat next to him.

Troy face reddened seeing Helena once again in her alluring mode, he will be fired today, he knows..

Troy saw Daniel unfriendly stare on him, making him packing his papers and left as fast as he could bolting the scene like a sprinter

"What is wrong with him" Helena asked mixing her sugar and creamer inside the coffee.

"where were you?" Daniel asked

"I went for a run at 5am, it is not too hot, so its perfect time to run" she sipped her coffee. He recalled she did not drink coffee, before he asked her more, she finished her drinks and walked away.

"oh one thing" she stops and turning back at him..

"yes"

"some clause in the agreement, i would like it to be amended" she asked. Daniel wonder which clause, it wasn't many, and its basically a general explanations that their marriage will only be known by family member and not the public, is that what she wanted to amend?. He felt a little better thinking of it, not sure why..

"The clause that mention i wont be in a relationship with other guys, i saw you don't have a specific rules for yourself, so i wanted to request mine to be absolved."

She leaned on the banister crossing her arm ,not realizing her words today has caused the entire Royal Continental Hotels and Casinos experiencing the biggest wrath that their boss unleashed.
