Chapter six

"Oh come on..., you already know how bad it is, this house can automatically hide someone for eternity, Dean," He couldn't suppress his laughter anymore after hearing her banter, so he let it out.

She heard his laughter and was gripped with anger, but she controlled her emotions and asked, "How was your day?"

"It was good..., anyways I'm on my way to see my boss and after that, I'll be coming home straight away." He knew that everything she needed was in the house, so he only needed to get ice cream and chips for her.

She also felt like demanding for ice cream when she heard him say that he would be home very soon, 'Should I request for ice cream from him? No..., he must be very tired by now, let him just come back and rest, it's night.' then giving it a second thought she decided not to request for ice cream, so it was then she came out of her thought and she remembered that he was driving so she asked, "Aren't you driving?" 

"Of cause I am." He uttered and she said," Just concentrate, do whatever you are doing out there and come get some rest, tomorrow is another busy day, okay?" She asked, rubbed her left palm on the bed and stood up as she was going to take her bath.

"Alright, see you later," Dean answered.

"Yea." She said and disconnected.

Right in a black range rover parked by the roadside, Mr Austin got antsy in the back seat as he haven't received any information from his men, so he decided to call them and know how far they have gone with the mission he gave them, he knew Eduardo very well and he also knew that the mission was not going to be an easy one for his men.

Mr Austin called and he answered in one ring. "Hello, can I speak with Rock?" He asked.

"Yes boss..., is Rock on the line." Saying that he lit the tobacco he was holding.

"How far have you done with my job?" Mr Austin asked as he rang so husky.

"That guy has adequate security..., I mean good one," He nodded and continued, "No one can easily access his data, come to talk of those treasures," Rock answered him dauntlessly.

"Then, you must look for another alternative, I want that golden ring and pendant, it must be mine, so find the means to get it."

He finished and disconnected the call immediately because he didn't want Rock to say anything.

Mr Austin is a wealthy man, he has many assets but most of his assets were stolen from other people, just with the same method he's trying to rip off from Eduardo Hudson.

Reaching Eduardo's house the butler announced Dean's presence and Eduardo came out of his bedroom to have a conversation with Dean, as he was still very angry.

"Hey..., join me in my study room." Saying that he opened the study room and both of them entered.

He sounded so bad just like when he handled Mr Philip and his cousin, the whole memory came flashing back to how Mr Philip arranged to kill Eduardo and took over the company but unfortunately, the person he desired to kill was faster and more dangerous than him, so with some evidence of attempted murder, Eduardo exposed him and both of them were arrested.

"Look Dean, I think someone is trying to steal something from one of the units and we have to figure it out, I don't know exactly what this person wants, but I'm going to teach them the lesson of their life."

"The other day in the club, one of them actually thought I was drunk and tried to kidnap me, but I was able to strike him and drove away." He said and looked at him.

"Yea..., I felt that too, this evening as I was in the parking lot, I noticed that someone was observing my steps as well, but it amazed me when I looked around and found no one, then I decided to come and see you immediately." He paused a little and continued,

"I called for more security from my men immediately after I noticed that, and already I have talked with the security men to turn on the electric circuit in the companies, then, for now moving alone is a bit dangerous and that's all," 

"Oh... you've done the necessary things, it's okay." Eduardo trusted him so much and was impressed with the step he already made ahead of time, so he turned and looked at him calmly but this time he looked more eased than before, then he asked, "How is the girl?"

Dean reshuffled his hair and cleared his throat before he started speaking. "She's fine... Doctor Elvis discharged her after the treatment and I gave her the money as you instructed but..."

"But what?... Dean?" Eduardo asked impatiently.

"But she refused to go back to her people," Dean answered.

"Why?" Eduardo asked again and gave a cursory look at Dean.

"That accident happened because she was running with fear..., she ran out of the house because her uncle wanted to ravish her," Dean said.

'Wow..., this life can be so unfair to some people, how can someone's uncle be that wicked.' Eduardo thought as he looked out through the window.

"She insisted that the fact she's still alive and in the state should not be revealed to her people," Dean muttered and Eduardo turned to look at him quickly and shook his head.

"I've heard about this type of story but it has never happened this close, gush... what a mischievous act." He uttered with a rough voice as he was slightly annoyed.

"But how did you know that she was saying the truth?" Eduardo asked in doubt with an opened eyes.

"Well...I g****e about him immediately after I got home with the piece of information she gave to me and believe me, he's a wild beast, a secret treasure hunter. He might even try killing her later." Dean explained.

Eduardo heard all he said and got emotional that he wasn't able to ask any more questions. He has always acted all cruel and cool, but somehow her story was hurting him a bit.

"Don't worry about her, she'll be fine." Saying that Dean brushed his eyebrows space, then Eduardo took a deep breath and said,

"That's just all, I wanted to know how everything went and you can start going now." So both of them left the study room.

"Goodnight, Boss," Dean said as he walked away from him, went into his car and drove away, meanwhile Eduardo went back into his room to rest.

On Dean's way to his house, he stopped by a store and bought ice cream and chips for Cindy, immediately he reached home, he walked directly to her room.

"knock knock." He knocked at the door and entered, although he didn't hear her response.

"Hey." He uttered as he walked closer to the bed where she was lying exhaustedly.

"I got you this, take it." Hearing that, she elevate herself and sat up from the lying position on the bed and collected the little bag from him.

She opened the bag and found out it was ice cream, "Thank you Dean..., you got me ice cream and chips, my favourite." She appreciated him, jumped down from the bed and followed him to the sitting room while holding his hand.

So both of them talked for a moment and tease each other as she shovelled ice cream in her Mouth. 

After some minutes of discussion, Cindy looked up slowly at him.

"Look Dean, there's something I wanted us to talk about." Saying that she wrinkled her face and Continued.

"Earnestly since that huge amount of money was given to me, I've been deliberating if I should go back and complete my college."

She sounded barely loud as she stood up from the sofa where she was sitting and moved close to him, as she shyly hung her head low.

He heard every word that came out of her mouth but pretended that he didn't hear her, so he stopped what he was doing with his phone and looked up at her, but was surprised to see her acting timid and naive.

"Like Seriously, Cindy are you shy?... It's just two of us here and you are shy, okay..., just tell me what you want."

Saying that he looked away from her and concluded that she is a shying type.

"Erm..., I want to go back to college with the money you gave to me."

This time her voice was a bit louder than before and she stood rooted on the ground, Dean looked at her and his deep laugh boomed through the sitting room.

"Oh my god..., is that what you were struggling to speak out?" He asked and chuckled, so seeing how he was laughing at her, she pouted, then he continued,

"Come on!.. it's your money Cindy... you do with it just whatever you want to do with it." Nodding his head he asked,

"Do you really want to go back to college?"
