Chapter 11: My dumbass

Blake's POV

"Show me."

Rodriguez nodded eagerly and lead the way to his floor. I followed him. I can feel that he is anxious.

Hmmm. Interesting.

We arrive at his floor and when I entered his office it is clean and organize.

No trace of being "ransacked" as he said.

I look down and glare at him.

"I- I swear sir! I am not lying! All my documents are on the floor! My computer was completely smashed!"

I stare at the said computer and it is completely working and in its pristine condition.

"You're just wasting my time." I leave Rodriguez still gaping and confuse. I return to my office. As the elevator door closes I smirk.

I went inside my office and lock it.

I sat on my chair and lean back.

"You can come out now you devil." I smirk as Cara slowly went out of my restroom with a smirk of her own.

She sauntered in front of my desk and stop.

"So. What did you see?" She ask.

"Nothing. Everything was in place. I left him confused."

I stood up and low fived Cara since she is smaller. We fist bump and for good measure we even hip bump. Gently of course.

We sat on the couch side by side. Cara immediately grab my hand and she starts to sort of massage it and I let her.

"So what did you find?" I ask.

"Team CARAmel is still analyzing everything. Give them a week to recheck everything. I am glad that you gave those guys a chance to turn their life around Blake."

She is now playing with my wedding ring.

"Like I said my sweets that I'll do what I can do to help other people. I saw some potentials when I first saw them surrounding my car so I gave them a chance."

Almost all my staff are all hired from the streets. Only a handful of them are educated. My main guards are all skilled and if there is a new recruit they train them on everything computers, self defence etc.

I don't have a fleet like James. That man is extraordinary. CIA and FBI have nothing on James guards. Good thing he is my bestfriend. I just felt sorry for those idiots who will try to antagonize James. My God bless them.

"Mason will report it to us after he verify the works of your team." Cara nodded in agreement.

"So what's your next step sweetheart." She stops playing with my hand and grin at me.

"What else? Scare him to death of course."

I roll my eyes. "Just don't kill him on my property Cara. I don't want added paperworks." I whined.

She snorts. "As if I'll literally kill him Blake. I am not gonna mafia bang bang his ass. I am just pranking that little twat. It's not like he doesn't deserve it."

"Whatever makes you happy sweetheart."

The next day the department of Rodriguez is presenting a proposal about the cost of our steel products. I saw his proposal and there is discrepancy on his computation.

I know I almost fail english lit and James will happily even tell you the story repeatedly but damn him  I excel in Math. I even score a point higher than him. He is still sore about that.

I went to the conference room. I passby Cara mopping the floor.

Tsk her hand will chapped from mopping. I'll buy her a hand cream later.

I winked at her. She blushed I blew her a kiss and immediately compose myself and entered the meeting.

My staff immediately stands and greets me as soon as I entered the room.

I sit at the head of the table. Jane signals the repreaentative of Rodgriguez to present. The said man is smugly sitting at the end of the table.

I zone out the whole presentation.

My mind wanders from apocalypes and up to the hairstyle of Trump. His gel must be construction strength. What's up with the way he speaks?

In all fairness Rodriguez chosen presenter is an excellent one. I'll check her previous work and resume.

The light was opened as soon as the presentation was over.

I stare at her and ask various questions that can make her reveal the discrepancy I saw. She did not fess up. She still argues and tries to shift my attention in other topics.

Tsk. Her potential is wasted. I take back what I said earlier. She is another Rodriguez in the making. I know she is aware about their bogus project but still cover it up with her head held high.

I glance at her side and I saw a man wearing glasses. He was fidgeting on his pen since the questioning started.

Strange.

I dismiss the meeting. Once again my time was wasted. I could have spent that 2 hours with Cara but No I have to sit through that meeting.

I went back to my office. I did not see Cara. Where is she?

I grab my phone and call James.

Surprisingly he answered on the 3rd ring.

"What?"

"Love you too Bro."

I heard him sigh on the other line.

"Ditto." James answered back.

I stare at my phone disbelief on what I've heared.

"Are you okay James?" I ask worriedly.

"Of course. Why would I be sick?"

There is something going on with James and I'll find out what that is. For all I know he might be possesed.

"Did something happen?" I ask curiously.

"Let's just say I find someone interesting."

"So-someone? Human right? JAMES!" he drop the call.

I tried calling him again but he turned off his phone.

I hope he is not stalkering someone.

Poor soul.

Is "stalkering" even a word?

Give me a break. I almost fail english lit remember?

Cara's POV

As expected Mr. Rodriguez went up to the security team to retrieve the cctv footage. Good thing Aldin and Hero already tampered the footage.

I went out for my break and went to a flower shop. I ordered red roses to be delivered to Blake on our first wedding monthsary.

There is nothing wrong for a woman to give a man flowers.

I thank the the seller. Of course I wear one of my expensive dress and trustee oversized shades to cover my face. So if someone tried to trace whoever buy Blake flowers they will not recognize me.

I change back to my uniform at a nearby gas station restroom.

Jane and Maria are on their break so

I entered Blake's office and saw him playing on his phone.

I peek at his phone and this Man-Child is playing angry birds.

I roll my eyes and spreads the food he ordered on the table.

"Blake let's eat." I should think of a pet name for him.

"1 minute sweetheart. There is another green pig left." After a few second he shouted "Die!!! Yes!" I guess he killed the green pig.

He stands up and place his phone on his desk.

He kissed my forehead and sits beside me.

"Cara you know there is something weird that happened today." He started to tell me about his weird conversation with James an hour ago.

"Maybe your bestfriend is in love." I concluded.

Blake gasp and exclaimed "No way! May God Help her! James will bulldoze his way to that poor woman! She will not notice what hit her."

I blankly stare at him and said "Like you did to me right?"

"No! We are different. We know each other already. James on the other hand." He shakes his head and grab a piece of Gyoza "He did not date at all so I know he is virgin from head to toe. I am also by the way but anyway with how James mind works he already plan his plan of attack and his end game is marriage."

He  just nonchalantly revealed that him and James are virgin. What's wrong with women they work and goes to school with? They did not even snag those two for a date? Unbelievable.

I stare at my husband who was trying to decide what to eat first his salmon steak or his regular medium well steak but in the end he combined the two dish.

I realize that if he did date he may not be my husband today.

Thank God he did not and he is a dumbass.

My dumbass.
