Chapter 20: Suspicious

Cara's POV

I went to the command center to ask for any updates on our latest target. I am so ready to finish this so I can relax.

Mason and the other people that I don't recognize immediately stand up when they saw me enter the room.

I smile at them and they greets back with a nod.

"Mason any updates?"

"We gathered all the evidence that she was exploiting her employees. I already compile all the reports your team gave me." He gave me a clear book and I scan all the papers inside.

"It is up to Sir. Bradford on how will he handle this situation." Mason added.

"Thank you." I was out of the room when I realize I forgot to say something to Mason.

"Hey Mason?" Mason looks up when he heard me call his name.

I hand him my personal card.

"Please buy some snacks to all our security team and please replace the food that Blake ate at the Marketing floor. I swear I saw him munching Lays when we went back to his office. Charge it all in my card."

"Thank you Mrs. Bradford." All of them screamed in delight.

I wave at them and goes back to my husband.

I ask Jane on what time Blake will be vacant. I told her that I did not clean his office yet. She told me he will be busy until lunch.

For the mean time I went down to the HR floor to see my friend Angel. I want to confirm one of the reports.

I saw Angel hunch on her desk typing furiously on her computer just like the rest of the staff on this floor.

I tap her shoulder to get her attention.

Angel looks back and automatically smiles when she saw me.

Angel stood up and hugged me.

"Long time no see!"

"So sorry I am just busy this past few weeks."

"Psh. No need to apologize Cara. I am also swamped with work as usual."

"Why?" I ask.

"Well we are reviewing the applicants for internship this year and as usual it is a lot. So what brings you to this floor?" Angel asked.

"Well I was wondering if you know a person named Larry Harrison?"

Angel eyes widen and she discretely looks around. She pull my arm down so I am forced to crouch beside her.

"Why?" She whispered.

"I need to give something to him, a delivery." I whispered back

Angel glance at my empty hand.

"I left it upstairs. I need to know who is this person. I don't want to deliver it to the wrong person." I reasoned out.

"Oh I see. His cubicle is in front of the department head office. He is the bald one. Be careful Cara he is nasty."

I nodded "noted. Why are we whispering?"

"Because that guy is a suck ass. I swear he doesn't work at all and he is somewhat involve in some shady shit. He was one of the people in charge of entertaining complaints from other departments but as of now I did not see him pass any reports because he always says no one complains. That is total Bullshit."

"Oh. Well good to know. I promise I'll be careful. Thank you Angel and I'll call you because I want you to meet someone."

Angel tried to protest but I just wink at her. I have a feeling that Angel and Carter is compatible. I need to set them up ASAP.

I hurriedly go back to the 50th floor.

Once I saw Blake's meeting ended I enter his office. I saw Blake suddenly slumped on his seat when he saw me enter his room.

I can feel the exhaustion of Blake from where I am standing.

I lock his door and made my way to his seat.

Blake turn his chair to face me.

I straddle his lap and starts to massage his head.

Blake moan when I hit a particular area at the back of his head.

Blake wrap his arms around my waist and lean his head on my shoulder and said "Don't stop please."

So I didn't until he fell asleep.

I don't know how many hours Blake was sleeping until I pull out my phone from my front pocket.

Perks for having a small phone. I flip my phone and saw that is already 1:30pm.

I halfheartedly wake up Blake but he is still dead to the world.

Blake skipping his meal was a bad thing.

I'll take pissed off Blake than a Hungry Blake anytime.

I slowly stand up. I wince when my muscles protest from changing my position from sitting to standing.

I slowly lean the upper body of Blake on his seat.

I prepare Blake's food first on his table.

A platter of Dumplings, sweet and sour pork, egg fried rice and there is also a big bowl of white soup that I don't know the name. Blake also ordered 12pcs of spring roll.

I went back to Blake and swipe his hair back. I kiss his cheeks hoping to wake him up but he don't. I sigh. No choice I have to use one of my trick.

I accidentally discover one of the tricks to wake up Blake.

I bit the right earlobe of Blake.

In an instant Blake woke up startled by what I did.

"What the fuck!"

"Good you're awake sleeping beauty! It is half past 1!" I exclaim.

I can see that the reality of skipping his lunch was sinking on Blake's brain because his expression slowly becoming dark.

"WHY AM I NOT-" I cut off Blake's rant when I place a spring roll in his mouth.

When Blake realize what I've done he cutely glares at me but still continue to chew his spring roll.

He looks like those cute hamster with their mouth full of food.

I grab his hand and guide him towards the couch.

"Eat now grumpy ass before you kill someone."

Blake was still glaring at me but automatically scoops up an egg fried rice in his mouth.

He scoops another rice but offered it to me which I gladly eat.

While he was eating I am updating him about the file that Mason gave me.

"So what's your decision?"

"Demote her to the lowest level. She needs to learn a lesson. Promote one of her staff. I think that Cannon guy deserve her positiom if I remember his name correctly. As for the Larry in HR I'll fire him."

I doubt that Jean will accept Blake's decision.

After we ate, Blake call someone and told the person on the other line about his decision regarding Larry and Jean.

I kiss his cheek then I said "Go back to your work now Blake. I'll see you at the house later." As I went out I saw Blake pouting.

I went to the Marketing floor armed with my mop to witness the reaction of Jean about her demotion.

I hear her shouting but I can not understand anything. The employees outside her office are discretely listening. I casually go near her office and saw that she was lashing out.

Her office door was suddenly wrenched open and she runs out of her office holding a box of her belongings. She repeatedly press the elevator button.

Coincidentally when the elevator opens there was a man holding his own box of belongings.

What is this a comedy skit?

I will not be surprise if Blake timed this epic meeting of Jean and Larry in the elevator.

Jean entered the elevator stomping.  Once the door closes all the employees on this floor shouted and celebrated. One even popped a champagne.

Where did he even get that?

I sigh in relief.  As expected Jean did not accept her demotion. Her ego can not take it.

Their tormentor is gone. I hope that they will cancel their resignation.

At least our employees in this floor are happy now.

I was chatting with Charlie when Blake arrive at the house.

Since I started pranking Blake he became suspicious. He doesn't believe me whenever I said I did not plan anything.

Just like now he was just standing at the threshold like a dumb nut looking around as if something will fall on his head.

"Nothing will fall on the ceiling Blake."

"Yet! I don't believe you Cara. I don't want to take any chances." I roll my eyes.

Eventually he enter the house after literally standing 15 minutes at the threshold waiting for my non existent prank.

Blake went down after freshening up.

He was wearing a grey sweatpants,  Black shirt and barefoot.

He kiss my forehead and sit down  beside me. As the staff starts to laid out our food Blake's phone ring.

Blake look at his phone and said

"It's James."

Blake put the call on loudspeaker

"Yo Bezzy! Wazzup! Did you miss moi?!"

The hell?

I can't blame James if he decides to end his friendship with Blake. I will even support James.

"I'm coming over."

"W-"

Tooot tooot toot

Blake stare at his phone in disbelief.

"He hang up on me."

"If I was James. I will not even attempt to call you. I'd rather watch a paint dry than call you."

Blake glare at me and I cheekily smile at him.

It was obvious that James calls Blake when he wan on his way because he arrived after five minutes.

Without any greeting James sat down on and said

"I need to plan a date. I need some ideas."
