Chương 4: Breathtakingly Beautiful

Sebastian's POV

What are the odds that she was in this circumstance by chance? With my gaze drawn downward, I see her virtually exposed legal body, which is barely concealed by a towel. Naked legs are displayed. Despite her vulnerability, her body was breathtakingly beautiful. Were there any consequences for her actions? I couldn't keep my eyes off of her, and my crotch felt like it was about to break under the strain.

I direct your attention to the fact that you should follow me. I pulled my phone from my pocket and dialed the number in my contact list for the security counter. "Please sit down," I asked her as we entered the living room. I saw her petting her cat, and it made me smile. Instead of the cat, I thought she would be stroking mine.

Having my brother Louis here, he is currently waiting in my office room for me to talk about Mr. Bill. Her timing is terrible at this moment. Right now, all I could do was leave them in the living room with her cat until security showed up so she could use their key to let her into the condo. The moment I saw that she had already sat down on the couch, I left the room and walked straight to my office.

"We're dealing with a crisis."

"What?"

There is more to Mr. Bill than we previously thought.

Let me see if I understand what you're saying.

I took Louis' flash disk when he offered it to me. "You may recall that I hired an investigator to investigate Mr. Bill and see what he was up to."

The contents of the flash drive were revealed to me after I attached it to my computer and opened it up. The question is, "What should I read now?"

"Comprehend it thoroughly. Hedge funds are owned by Mr. Bill. The two firms in question are Ville Shield Holdings and Hudson Research. The private investigator I hired found that Hudson Research is a pharmaceutical company that specializes in generic radiation therapy treatments and pharmaceuticals, even though I don't have much information about Ville Shield Holdings."

"You mean a cancer treatment?" I assume that. Since he knew how much I still miss our mother, who died of cancer many years ago, I stated it softly. "What makes Mr. Bill think he needs a business like that?"

Louis was unable to react since my condominium's doorbell rang abruptly.

"I'll be right back," I assured him. "Just to make sure the girl receives the help she needs. I'll be back in a second."

Astonishment spread across Louis' face after hearing it. "What a girl? Do you have a woman living here? Why have I not heard anything about you and a woman here?"

I climbed out of my chair and walked out of the office. "If you can, try to keep your voice down at first. More details will be provided later. I'll be back in a second."

In the living room, I walked down the stairs and opened the front door. The key to the unit was delivered to me by a security guard at the counter, who quickly walked away. To my amusement, I walked over to Stella's and handed her the key while still patting her cat. She climbed to her feet, thanked me, and then left my condo. After she had gone, I returned to my office.

As he sat in my office chair, I said, "All right, they're gone."

"They? How many are there?" He asked.

"Shit, brother! That's not how it is! She has a cat with her. As she works as a pet sitter at the other condo, I called the security guards and asked them to come and help her with her dilemma. Let's get back to work and forget about her. "When Mr. Bill bought that pharmaceutical company? And would you mind telling me how Mr. Bill came to own that pharmaceutical company? "

"The truth is, I have no idea. There is still a lot of investigation going on." While sitting in the chair, he reclines backward and crosses his legs, his head supported by a hand with two pointed fingers resting on his temple. "If I'm not mistaken, he is the owner of Ville Shield Holdings, a security organization with contracts with the governments of several nations, which is even more of a mystery."

"Let me know what you're trying to say. As one of New York's most prominent figures, we may assume he has many contacts. "

"Exactly. However, why would such a wealthy man spend so much money on behalf of a pharmaceutical firm? In addition, the relationship between a security business and a pharmaceutical company is not obvious. When it comes to Bill, we need exercise caution since he may have other plans that we are unaware of."

"Shit." My brain began to ache as a result of what I had just heard. "Does Dad already have that information?"

"No, not yet. I'll let him and Steve know what's going on later." He leaned forward and put his arm in front of me and said, "I left my phone in the car. I'll call Steve and we can meet in my office if you lend me your phone."

As I handed Louis my phone, I remarked, "Wait a minute, Louis. Steve has some sort of security contact with the US government, right? Didn't he tell you anything about Mr. Bill?"

The search for Steve's name in my phone's contacts list is met with a shrug and a shake of his head. "He made no mention of it."

In front of Louis, I took a deep breath and just stared at him for a few moments. Acutely alert, Louis put down his phone and gave me a serious look when he realized I was watching him.

"Steve and Mr. Bill may be working against one other, and Steve has information he is not giving with us, aren't you thinking?"

"What if it turns out like that?" I yelled out in a loud voice.

"Are you out of your mind? Sebastian, I'm not sure what swayed you to that conclusion. As a longtime friend of Dad's, Steve is a trusted confidant too. Think about it for a while and come to your own conclusions. In order to play games on us, Steve might have done so years ago. The question is, though, why now? It's completely illogical. You already know that this company is important to him. As much as it could hurt our company, it could hurt him more. "

"That is all I'm suggesting is that he may have some knowledge of what is happening. In the event that there is, we need to know about it and why he concealed it from us. Only by confronting him face-to-face can we move forward."

"What a dreadful notion. Sebastian, come on. You've seen Steve's manner while he's being interrogated. For our father's sake, in particular."

I slam the table with my right hand. "That pretentious, manipulative individual has never had my trust."

"In spite of this, our father does," he says. "Dad will always be on his side, even if it means facing him in front of the whole family."

"I get it." Seeing my table, I'm inclined to agree. "Are there any other options?"

"Let me see if I can get the investigator to dig a little deeper. Maybe we'll be able to find some of these answers ourselves. We need to know if Steve is engaged in this."

"It's fine," I said.

"Good. " My bookcases have a wall clock above them that he uses to check the time. " Shit! It's already past midnight. I've made a reservation at the Deluxe Restaurant."

"Oh, you have a secret date with Michelle again?" I teased.

"This isn't any of your fucking concern, " he said to me.

There had already been a few years of Louis and Michelle's romance going on. Michelle is Steve's daughter. There aren't many issues between them, but Dad has always had rigorous restrictions when it comes to a job and love life.

"Maybe she knows something about Mr. Bill after all."

"No way, not a chance in hell. " Louis does not reveal any details regarding how he runs our business to Michelle. As far as I'm concerned, that was an old-school approach that he used to get in touch with Michelle.

" It's a given that she'll eventually find out about your secret. As soon as you can, tell her," I stated to him to help.

"Yes, I see what you're saying. " he continued while smiling, "Don't worry about anything; just relax, my little brother."

With a sigh and a shake of my head, I conclude this discussion. " Does it appear to me that you're having an affair with Steve's daughter? Just my opinion. To take her out in public areas where Dad and his buddies congregate, you're the one who thinks it's a good idea. Sooner or later, someone will catch wind of your relationship with her and you too will find yourselves in hot water. "

"There's no way this is going to happen."

I followed him out of my office because he had already gone out. He went straight to the front door and stopped.

"My suspicion is that I'm not the only one who has a secret to hide from this family. The equivalent of having a pet-sitter girl visit your condo," he joked.

"The best way to describe her is, she's nothing."

"I get it," he quips, making fun of the situation. You've dated a lot of women, and I'm using the phrase lightly since you don't date. In ladies, you're a dabbler."

"I'm not going to waste my time looking for a pet sitter... I know nothing about her."

After a brief delay, he stepped forward to unlock the door. ." No problem, but you still have three days."

"Three days for what?"

The smirk on his face shows him that I'm not worthy of his attention. . "If you have any idea what I'm talking about, please let me know. I'll go ahead now. See you soon bro."

I let him step out my door then I wave my hand for the last time. After that conversation I couldn't help but smile, even I know that it sound stupid.
