Chapter 32
I open each drawer with my cold, trembling hands. Every second shouldn’t be waste, every moves of the clock matters.
I know it is inappropriate to do such things, but I don’t have a choice. Its weather to do this now or ask the Alpha later, I don’t want to waste another second. And beside I don’t know if he will answer me.
The office was so neat looking. I know that the Alpha will eventually notice of my careless decision but I don’t care. I want to feed my curiosity.
I know that curiosity kills the cat, but I don’t want to be a cat right now.
There are few papers in the table but I didn’t give a glance on it. I don’t know, I just feel that the Alpha wouldn’t keep important files in there, or would he? Not sure.
I still keep on hoping that I would find something that would tell me about their business. And maybe, maybe I would figure out why the Alpha was there instead of the CEO.
I already opened all the drawers and still, they are all about stocks and proposal from different companies that I cannot understand. I didn’t read those files connected to the company.
I walk towards the book shelf. Something wasn’t felt right. There is a small table beside the shelf, it was just a simple table without any drawers. It has a flower vase on top of it.
I sat on the swivel chair, thinking of where he can hide important documents. I put my thumb and index finger to my chin while resting my elbow in the arm chair.
I must think like the Alpha, it’s hard I know but at least I should try, I roam my eyes around the room. I felt like I was detective Conan trying to solve a murder case.
I was about to give up when I felt like flipping the pages of the documents in the table. I should give them the chance. I laughed at what I thought.
I was in the middle page when something caught my attention.
I pick it up, it was a DNA result. I was about to put it back when I saw my name written on it.
Why is my name written on it? I read the whole paper and the rest of it leaves my mind on havoc.
Some words leave me in confusion. Things wasn’t that clear for me.
There was another name written on it, it says here that he was my biological father.
What I read left me dumbfounded. I don’t know what to do now.
Should I be happy? Does it mean the Alice was my sister? Would she be happy? Would I be happy?
I don’t know. I feel myself, my emotions. I don’t know.
What I just learned send my whole being into turmoil.
I was thinking of my next move. I was still holding the DNA result when I decided to leave the room. I put the DNA result back to where I got it.
I leave the room with my mind in chaos. Why would he keep me in the dark? He is still my father.
He knows about my past and yet he still keeps this from me? What else is he hiding from me?
I walk directly towards my room. On the way to my room, I’m making up my mind. Making up a huge decision is not that easy.
I’ve been inhabiting in this mansion for too long that I got too comfortable. I was too comfortable that I didn’t notice what they are hiding behind my back.
I pick up my wallet and a small back pack where all my important things are. There are also some clothes in it, they make me pack these in case of emergency that we have to move. I didn’t know that I will have to use these.
I turned off my phone and put it on the bag with my wallet. I get my bag and hurriedly walk my way out of the mansion. Thankfully, I didn’t get to see the CEO or even the maids. Maybe there are busy.
They wouldn’t even notice that I left. I laughed bitterly.
This mansion has been my home for the past few weeks. It’s sad to finally bid without even saying a proper goodbye. What’s the good in saying goodbye, anyway?
What’s the point of meeting new people when you have leave those who you love?
For new memories my foot.
I step out from their territory while wiping my tears. I shouldn’t be crying now, they kept me from my father, from my true family.
Now, I was wondering where I should go. I couldn’t go back now. I can’t believe it, I just run away from them.
I was still contemplating when I reach the bus station. I was about to enter the bus when I remember something.
I think, I know where my father’s company is. I once enter the company when the CEO was in a vacation.
I left the bus station and hail a cab. I gave the address to the driver, at first, he looked at me as if I was joking, but he still takes me to the address that I gave him.
I gave him the exact amount the he told me. I even gave him extra money for the tip.
I look at the building, it was so tall. Compared to my former company, it looks haunted. Everyone was so serious and in a hurry.
I stepped inside the building and I can already feel the ambiance. There is something in the environment that is not welcoming.
I didn’t mind the looks the employees gave me. I wasn’t here for them, it’s because of my father, I have to know something. I need his confirmation.
I enter the elevator, not minding the people looking at me. I stopped where I should be going right now. The CEO’s office. I just hope that he is here.
I stop in front of the right door. I was hesitant to knock at first. What would I tell him? How would I tell him that I am also his daughter?
My mind was still in chaos when I knock in the door. I don’t even know how to address him, should I call sir, or should I already call him daddy?
I actually don’t know, I came here unprepared. I should have at least prepared what or how to tell him. What if he said that I was bluffing? What if he didn’t believe me?
