Chapter 259 - Ill ask you directly (2/2)

********

Last night Zeng and James went to Evan's apartment for investigation and almost escaped death.

It was a cool, clear night by the time they reached Evan's apartment after a drive of four hours. The apartment was away from the hustle-bustle of the city, in a peaceful location facing the river. Evan's idea was to get a place where no one can disturb him.

James was registered on the family list of Evan, the security had seen him a few times, and let him pass with no problem.

As James punched in the key combination of the penthouse on the twenty-third floor and pushed the door, the memories flooded in. It was a luxurious house, but everything screamed of their relationship in the house.

Evan had the weird habit of collecting everything that belongs to their relationship and use it in interiors that not only acts as a memory but actually adds a quirk to the interiors.

For instance the huge glass over the center table was actually the collage of their restaurant bills in their dating period. The painting of a n.a.k.e.d man on the wall that Evan used to call modern art was actually James's first and only attempt at drawing. It took a lot of effort to convince Evan to pose for the painting. Later they both laughed at it.

The more James sees this, the stronger his intuition gets. Evan was definitely not faking this relationship....

Keeping aside the memories that flooded in, James forced himself to turn a blind eye to everything and concentrate on the task at hand.

Instead of checking all the room, James' only interest was to go through the room Evan had forbidden him from going in. He used to keep it locked.

Zeng looked at the locked door, and then at James. ”It can only be locked by thumbprint. We have to break it.”

”I will get the toolbox.”

Had James was not aware of Zeng's profession, he'd have assumed Zeng to be a locksmith. ”Looks like you are pro, how many houses have you break-in before?”

”This is the first one. But car repairing comes handy.”

”So you are a mechanic, I thought you are a racer.”

”Someone is jealous of my multiple talents. Maybe you should step out of the kitchen and learn something else too. It comes handy in such situations... CLICK,” The lock clicked, ”I have loosened the lock, but still we have to push it. On the count of three--” James nodded, taking the position to push the door by the shoulder, ”One, two, three.... BANG.”

”Again,”
