The word personal assistant that she heard pricked her ears and thought. She didn't even think about the words that led to it.
"That guy said that his personal assistant left for Africa and wouldn't be back until seven month. How come he is here within just three days of me staying?" She thought.
" Miss" he called.
He didn't know why she suddenly blank out. He saw her reaction so strange and he called her to make sure she is fine.
"Huh" she said absentmindedly.
"Are you alright?" He asked.
"Ain't you suppose to be in Africa?" She asked.
Riggs didn't dim it fit to reply since he knew revealing who is he to her was out of tune. He shouldn't have said anything knowing why she is here.
He glanced at his boss who was still talking patiently with his patient. He just prayed in his heart that he hasn't cause any damage with his big mouth.
Renny seeing that she didn't receive a reply got angry.
"I knew that idiot lied to me" she spitted out forgetting who was seated in front of him.
Riggs who heard her clearly shone his eyes at her choice of words. He saw that she seem fearless of who she is referring to.
He knowing that Carl heard her pitied her for her next punishment. Before he didn't know why his boss wanted to keep her by his side but now seeing her he knew it was for her bad mouth and stubbornness.
"She is indeed going to suffer a lot" he thought.
Renny seeing the disapproval on his face, felt remorseful.
"Sorry" she muttered slowly with embarrassment.
After then she became so quiet. She was really battling with anger in her thoughts. She was gritting and gnashing her teeth because of Carl's lies.
Riggs was just looking at her. She looked like a wild little cat that needs to be tamed. Although he couldn't hear her thoughts but he knew his boss would and seeing the look on her, nothing friendly could come out of such heart.
He wished he could tell her that the more she slander him in her heart, the more she gets punished. But how could he if he doesn't have any concrete evidence to prove his point without exposing the Devikings.
"Sorry Renny, you have to bear your cross yourself" he thought and gave a secret sigh.
Renny didn't know how long she's been thinking about how to get back at Carl or how long she has been insulting him in her heart but not until Riggs stood up, did she come back to reality. She looked up and watch Riggs move closer to him. That was when she discovered that the patient is gone.
She rested her head to sleep knowing the man will ignore her till he dismiss her to close for the day but she heard him call her.
"Lauren go get me a coffee" his ordering voice resounded in the room without even giving her a glance.
He wouldn't call her by her Nick being that he hated the nick. Renny is not always happy at him calling her by her first name and she wouldn't know why. She just know that she hated everything the guy does.
"Must he call my me in first name" she said sarcastically glaring at him and went out.
She really hated to get him a coffee since she had to go look for the head of the office restaurant to come prepare it for him and that woman is not easy to find. The last time she did, all her legs where aching her because she was just being directed from here to there.
Carl would normally call the woman from his office to brew him a coffee and then send his secretary to go get it but he intentionally told Renny to go look for her. This is part of her punishment.
"Speak" he said to Riggs.
It's not as if he need the coffee he ordered Renny to go get. It's just a way to let her out of the office to discuss personal issues with his assistant. He has sent his assistant to go do some findings for him and now he wants the results. He couldn't wait till they leave the office.
At first when he said he wanted Renny to be sitting in his office, Riggs wondered why? He knew they mostly discuss private things and if she is there looking at them they wouldn't. He didn't argue with his boss's opinion though he just concurred.
"Speak" Carl command Riggs who was standing before him.
"Vin is planning to expose your family at Me Paul's book launch" he informed.
Carl's face was still calm as ever.
"I know" he replied casually like he is not affected.
"This time sir, he seems to have acquire a thing that can make his plan possible".
" What does he have?"
Vin is a man who knows about the Devikings's super ability through his father who also knew through his own father.
This made him so jealous of what things the Devikings could do that he couldn't. Him being someone so greedy for power, hated the Devikings.
His grandfather actually was a servant in to Dean's father before he died. His son blamed Crown's father for his father's death and became an enemy to the Devikings.
Not that Vin like the Devikings before his father told him about their secret and how that caused the death of his grandfather. Vin has always thought them to be so arrogant.
What he doesn't know is that the wealth his father had and passed over to him was from the Devikings.
