《Hiding Places ✅》9

"Sir we lost her" a husky voice that I recognise belongs to John Potter says down the line.
"WHAT?"
"Her brother and the William's girl came to the apartment at around seven. The three stayed inside until about ten when they came back out onto the street. They head for the college bar district."
"And?"
"Well I think she knew we were following her. I noticed her look down from her window a couple of times and then well we lost her..."
"You lost a 5'3" architect, a platinum blonde receptionist and a 6'2" medical student?"
"Yes sir"
"FIND THEM" I yell into the phone before throwing it across the room. Luckily for me it landed on the couch and didn't hit the wall.
I had ordered my security company to follow Genevieve from the moment she left the office today. I didn't want to risk anything happening to her. I contemplate texting her. I look at the time it is two in the morning. Maybe it is possible she came home and went to bed with John and his team noticing. Yeah right Cameron.
I bite the bullet and decide to text her. Hopefully if she is at home asleep then my message won't wake her.
After a few moments my phone buzzes.
What?
...
"She came home at around four in the morning with her brother. He was holding her up she looked quite intoxicated" John explains into the phone.
"Has she left the apartment since?" It is quarter to seven she really should be on her way to work.
"Her brother left and just returned with two coffees but other than that there has been no other movement."
I hang up the phone and place it on my desk. Brooke walks into my office with my messages. When I look at her appearance I notice she looks quite hungover. She does not speak to me when she enters like she normally would instead places the messages on my desk and moves to leave.

"Good morning Brooke" my voice makes her jump. She turns back to face.
"Uh...Good morning Mr Cunningham" she blushes slightly. Always embarrassed.
"You look like you had an eventful evening"
"I guess. Went out for drinks with my friend and boyfriend"
"Boyfriend?" Is she referring to Sebastian Reynolds?
"Yeah it is new... I think we went a little crazy. I won't let it affect me sir"
"Good" I snap putting my normal facade on. I press my lips into a thin line and Brooke knows I mean business. She quickly leaves me office.
The day continues on I have several meetings with legal and marketing. It gets to midday when I would normal join Genevieve in her office for lunch. Hoping she would be there I make my way to her office. Caleb is sitting at his desk outside her office.
"Good Afternoon Mr Cunningham. Can I help you sir?"
"No. I'm here for lunch with Miss Reynolds." I say keeping my lips pressed in thin line even though I find his fear of me amusing.
"I'm sorry sir. Honey... ah I mean Miss Reynolds isn't in today"
"What?"
"Well she called early and she has been emailing things so I guess she is working from home today"
"Call her immediately and tell her she is needed in a meeting"
"Uh...um"
"NOW Caleb!"
"Yes sir."
"Hello?"
"Honey, it's Caleb"
"Caleb, what is wrong?"
"Uh I'm sorry to do this Honey but Mr Cunningham requested that you come in immediately he said that you had a meeting"
"I have no meetings today Caleb"
"Please tell me you'll just come in. I don't want him to yell at me Honey. He freaks me out"
I laugh to myself thinking of how Mr Cunningham seems to be angry with everyone but me. I tell Caleb that I will be on my way shortly before hanging up. Bas left for class a few hours ago and since then I have been working from the couch with Gilmore Girls playing in the background. Lunchtime came around I hate to admit that I actually missed Mr Cunningham's company. I vaguely remember talking to him very early this morning via text. Bas and I were still out at the club. Brooke went home just after one not before I figured out that the two of them are a couple. They had been sneaking around as to not hurt my feelings but I couldn't be happier for them although I felt somewhat like a third wheel.

I look out the window and the black SUV is still there on the curb and again it's occupant is leaning against his car smoking. I didn't think the SUV and the man in black could be related to Todd as I had heard from a friend in Cali that he arrived home this afternoon beaten and bruised and not talking to anyone. I assume that is Mr Cunningham's doing. Still I believe the SUV is following me. I'm certain that it did last night.
Not bothering to find office attire I pull on a sun dress and cardigan pairing it with sandals. I head downstairs to my car and before starting my drive I send a message to the all powerful boss man.
My phones buzzes as soon as I've sent it.
I arrive at the tower, as I pass reception Brooke gives me a sympathetic smile clearly reading the expression on my face. I head to my office to dump my bag and make sure Mr Cunningham hasn't been too mean to Caleb. After five minutes of talking to Caleb I find myself in front of Mr Cunningham's office. I push the doors open and there standing in front of Mr Cunningham's desk is a man wearing an all black suit. He turns to face him and I recognise him immediately...
"You're the guy from the SUV!"

This reborn personal trainer is going to whip the royal army into shape!
Olympics Sports Trainer, Meg Thompson, had never even heard of an otome game, so when she died in Japan during the Tokyo Games and was reincarnated into one in error as the minor character, Briar Bell, she might have unintentionally messed just about everything up for the true heroine...Whether it was her befriending villainesses, or hanging out with capture targets, from the moment she was born she was setting the plot careening off course. (although if you ask her, the original storyline was stupid and hopeless to begin with #SorryNotSorry)The Heroine was supposed to seduce this medieval-esque kingdom's most eligible bachelors in order to use the power of their love to stop the encroaching demon army from destroying humanity with her heart magic. Playing the role of 'heroine' was another reincarnated woman named Sakura, a hardcore Japanese otaku who had previously been hit by a truck in a tale as old as time.Whether it is the fault of Sakura's social ineptness (as Briar would claim) or from her own interventions, humanity is now heading towards total decimation. Seems like she'll have to brush off her coaching skills and get this royal army into fighting form.
