Chapter 494 - Orion Enterprise annual meeting (7) (1/2)

Our group of five was progressing quickly through solving the clues.

Besides number of women ogling at Felix as they moved through the building, and one time when two ladies tried to strike conversation with him when he was two steps behind others, there were no other incidents.

Felix got a text on his phone and his face lit up.

”Good news?”, JoAnna asked.

Felix nodded. ”Sophia is done with her meeting. She is coming down…”, he texted her their location. ”Oh, I should tidy myself up…” Felix headed to the men's room.

Sarah pulled his sleeve. ”Where are you going?”

”Men's room.”, Felix responded.

”Alone?”, Sarah asked.

Felix shrugged, not sure how to answer that question. 'I am going… why do I care if someone comes with me?'

Sarah and JoAnna glanced at each other. They can't go with him to men's room. They turned to Jeff and Aiden.

Aiden's eyes widened in horror and he defensively waved his arms in front of him while facing Sarah. ”Baby, men don't go to the restroom together.”

Only then Jeff understood why is JoAnna looking at him. He firmly shook his head rejecting the idea of accompanying Felix to the restroom.

”What if someone is waiting for him? We protected him so far successfully… come on. Just go and make sure he is not left alone.”, JoAnna pleaded.

Jeff could not make himself reject JoAnna. He looked at his brother, giving him a dirty look and then dejectedly walked behind Felix to the men's room.

”Now that Sophia is done with her meeting, will Felix leave us?”, Sarah asked.

JoAnna rubbed her chin. ”Good question. He is one of the reasons we are making such a fast progress… he is quickly leading us to the right department location, and without him, even if we know which department, we would end up wondering around looking for it.”

”We can ask big sis to come with us…”, Sarah suggested.

JoAnna agreed it's a good idea.

”Where is Boss?”, David rushed toward them.

”Why are you here?”, Sarah glanced behind him. ”Where is the rest of your team?”

David fidgeted nervously for few seconds. ”We split up… they are fine.”

”You should not leave two girls alone.”, Aiden scolded him. He does not know much about David except that he is Felix's assistant. But Aiden does not approve that he left Isabella and Leah by themselves. Especially seeing how many lecherous people are here.

David didn't like Aiden. 'Why is he meddling? The girls are fine… and I want to be helpful to my Boss. What is wrong with that?'

…

In the men's room Jeff is observing Felix who is making sure that his shirt is perfectly tucked in… he wetted his hands and ran them through his hair, carefully selecting few strands to fall over his forehead while the rest is neatly pushed to the side… and then he got a small bottle of mouth freshener from his pocket and sprayed into his mouth…

Jeff cleared his throat. ”Can I use that?”, he pointed at the mouth freshener.

”Sure…”, Felix gave him the bottle.

Jeff sprayed it into his mouth and had to admit that it smells good. He took a mental note on the brand and flavor… then he wetted his hands and ran them through his hair… but he didn't like the outcome much, so he pulled a small comb from his back pocket…
