Chapter 5 - HIDDEN TALENT

Arriving at the company, Alex was greeted by the receptionist and the staff. He instructed Nuel to put Emily's desk close to his window.

" I won't have my own office as your wife?" Emily asked displeased.

"You're not my wife in the company," Alex replied, coldly.

Emily frowned, glaring at her open workspace.She was annoyed that she had to work facing his office, she needed her personal space. Then, her gaze drifted to her phone, the message she sent to the unknown number was left hanging. 

 With nothing to do, Emily turned on the computer, determined to track down the IP address . 

Before Emily could start, Alex's voice cut through the air. "What are you staring at? It's lunchtime. Let's go." Emily felt his eyes on her, observing her every move.

She quickly switched off the laptop before Alex came closer, her mind racing. Why should she have lunch with him, anyway? He made it clear that she wasn't his wife in the office. She thought to herself. 

Emly forced a smile and walked ahead of him to the elevator . The staff's eyes followed her, their gaze throwing her daggers.

When they reached the cafeteria, people started whispering. Alex, not caring about them, asked Emily "What do you want to eat?" 

"Whatever you want to eat," She answered absentmindedly. 

Alex stared at Emily, as if something was bothering him. Then, he suddenly asked, "Have you ever played an online multiplayer game?" 

 

Emily smiled, "No." 

Emily's life was not fun and filled with rainbows. Many things had happened that she couldn't remember, since she stepped foot in this town. 

She could not finish her meal. "Are you okay? You look lost," Alex asked, lifting her chin.

"I am fine, just a little bit tired" Emily replied, glancing sideways. 

"My wife is not only late but also lazy. Just your first day at work, you are tired without a task to do," Alex teased her.

Emily went to her desk still with nothing assigned for her. She started tracking the Ip Address. Then a code popped up revealing a message on her computer.

"Abigial, you think you can find me by tracking my address, I never knew you are gradually forgetting the real you."

"Who are you and what do you want?" She typed, her hands hesitating for a moment before I clicked enter.

"We need the old you, come to us, find your way back home divorce your husband, you don't love him."

She could not find the old her, even though just one person could bring her memories back. She stopped tracking the address because it was no use. 

Gazing up, she saw Alex looking at her. Jeez, when did he get here? Why does he keep appearing like a ghost? 

"What are you doing?" Alex asked, raising his eyebrows.

"Ohh, someone tried to hack the company's files. I just switched it off and on again," she replied quickly, avoiding eye contact..

He nodded in belief, but glared at her suspiciously.

 How could they try to steal the company's file when the laptop she is using is brand new? He thought. 

 "Take this document, sort it out before 6 p.m and submit it." Alex said, dropping the documents on her desk. 

Emily nodded, opening the document.

Alex stood beside her, surprised. He had expected her to ask for help, but she started sorting it without glancing at him.

Emily noticed he was still there, she asked, "Anything else?"

Alex had nothing to say and went back to work. Before 6pm Emily came knocking. He smiled, she gave up so fast.

" I am done, please review it" She said , handing the documents to Alex.

Alex was left in shock, even his secretary could not sort documents that quickly. What rubbish did she do? he thought, smirking, then he started reviewing the documents. 

Everything Emily did was correct, no mistake left. He was quite impressed. 

 

Nuel met Alex at the study room, " Boss, one of our men said that Abigail is dead, she got killed two years after their opponent started a war." 

Nuel is Alex's personal assistant outside the company, handling his business and keeping an eye on his enemies..
