DYLAN

“Okay. And where is she now?” I asked Bryan.

“She should be at the office now but I haven't gotten any message from her. Once I do, I will inform you right away.

“Okay, get the meeting room ready to use. I need to hurry and see Grandpa.” I said and stood up from the chair to adjust my thigh.

Concerning the car accident. I believe we will be able to trace who the person is. The CCTV camera caught footage of him when he was about to take a bike.

“And the plate number of the bike?” I asked him

Bryan showed me the screen of his laptop and turned it to face me. “This is the bike.” He said and continued. “The plate number wasn't visible because it's already getting dark. However, I will continue to trace him with the bike model,” Bryan assured me and I took my phone with me.

“She is in the meeting room now,” Bryan informed me after checking his phone. I guess the lady already messaged him.

“Okay, let's go,” I told him and we left my office. Bryan and I took the elevator and went down.

“I got a message from the men watching Zara. She is leaving the house.” I heard Bryan say and I narrowed my eyes in disbelief.

“Are they sure it's her?” I asked Bryan, who was busy looking between me and the phone.

“Yes. They just confirmed that she already left the compound” Bryan replied and looked at me. I guess he was trying to gauge my expression and see my reaction.

“How would old Dylan react to this?” I asked myself because I can't seem to remember.

Where did she go when she already informed me about how tired she is?

“Tell them to keep following her but she must not know,” I said and Bryan did exactly what I said.

“Alright, I already informed them,” Bryan said and I made my way out of the elevator.

We got inside the meeting room and I met with Eloise. The moment she saw me, she stood up and offered a handshake. She is indeed pretty, like Bryan said but not as pretty as my Diva Queen.

“It's nice meeting you Mr Devereux. I am Eloise.” She introduced herself and I returned the handshake.

“Please do have your seat, Miss Eloise. I got a report that you will love to partner with us concerning the AI technology I am working on.” I said and she confirmed that was why she came.

“Yes but you have declined our offer many times, which is why my father insisted that I come to meet you myself,” she said.

“Alright, Miss Eloise but my decision remains the same. We don't need a partnership right now.” I told her but she didn't look convinced that I would reject her.

“We are offering more than what we proposed in the last meeting. We added another 10 %.” She said and showed the contract. The offer is indeed drafted well and juicy.

“I don't need funds right now which is why I am not considering anyone at the moment. I'm afraid that I will have to decline your offer.” I told her and she bit her lower lip before placing her two hands on the table.

“But I really have to get this deal. I promised my father that I would.” She informed me.

What a bold and daring girl.

Too bad I can't consider them now.

“Be assured that he won't be angry with you over this. However, if you are interested in any of our other business don't hesitate to communicate with my personal secretary. He will relay your message to me efficiently.” I told her not to encourage her not to give up. I can still consider him for another business entirely.

“Okay, I will be back after I inform my father about the decline I later got,” she said and stood up

“If you are free this weekend, can I take you out?” Eloise asked me and Bryan shared a look with me from the corner where he was standing.

“I'm sorry but I have to decline. I have a place to be on that day.” I replied to her and she nodded

“Alright. Thank you” she said and shut the door after leaving.

“You shouldn't have rejected her that way. She is clearly interested in you.” Bryan said but I am less concerned about that.

“What is the report?” I asked Bryan as soon as the meeting ended.

“She is in a restaurant,” Bryan said and I swallowed hard.

“With who?” I asked and left the meeting room. We both walked down the corridor to take the elevator.

“She is with a guy,” Bryan replied and I clenched my jaw.

“Should I ask them to forward a picture?” Bryan pressed on but I don't think that is necessary. It will be good if I see her myself because the picture can be taken from an angle that will definitely affect my reading. I can't imagine her with another guy and if this is not jealousy, give me another name for it.

I am not supposed to care about who she is meeting but I do and my legs will not fucking stay in one place.

“No. I think I know who she is meeting. Tell them to forward her location details to me.” I said and took off my suit, leaving my white shirt and pants on.

“I just forwarded the details to you,” Bryan said and I checked my message. It's just a ten-minute drive to the restaurant, so I speed up. I might not use more than five minutes.

“I will be back later,” I said and headed for the elevator and took out my car keys from my pocket.
