Chapter 148 - Causing doubt (1/2)
Andy was going to get out of his car if Eva did not come out after a few minutes. However, just after that few minutes, Eva walked out of the door. She was unharmed nor looked worried. She continued walking down the street.
Andy grabbed his phone and dialed the number of the bodyguards that was supposed to be watching Eva.
”Yes, Boss?”
”Where is Eva right now?”
”Uh... isn't she suppose to be with you right now? She said she was going to meet up with you and that we were dismissed for tonight.”
Andy did not reply back to the bodyguard. The bodyguard felt that something was wrong. ”Is there any trouble?”
”No.” Andy replied. ”Next time, whatever excuses she makes to not have you guys by her side, I want you to let her go and watch her from a distance.”
”Boss, you want us to spy on the Miss?”
”Unless you want to lose your job instead for not watching her properly.”
The bodyguard gulped. ”No, no. We will do as you instruct, boss.”
Andy hung up the phone and dialed his secretary.
”CEO Yang, what can I do for you?”
”I want you to find all the residents who live in the address that I will text to you soon. Narrow it down to men who are 30 and above. Do a thorough background check on all of them and make sure you have a picture. Get this done by tomorrow morning.”
”Yes, sir.”
Andy hung up again and stared out to the building. 'What is Eva doing here that she lied to me?'
He sighed. He doesn't want to give her the benefit of the doubt but he will slowly confront her about it. Instead of driving back home, he went to Eva's apartment that his mother bought for her. He had never been here before but Eva had given him the key.
He parked his car and went up to Eva's apartment. He opened it and the apartment was dark. It would be a while before Eva came home if she was walking. She never liked the taxi or buses so she would walk everywhere.
Andy felt like he was overdoing this. He once punished Lena for doing the same thing to him when he went out to have dinner with a business partner who was a female. Looking back to that now, he understood Lena and how paranoia it can be to have doubt in a relationship. Although back then, he did not love Lena.
Andy took off his shoes and put his car keys on the counter. He looked around the living room first before going to the bedroom. He quickly searched her bedroom and everything was normal. He relaxed his mind a bit, knowing that he did not find anything out of the ordinary.
He heard the door opening and he got off the bed to go open it.
”Surprised!” Andy spoke.
”Andy! I thought you were a robber.” Andy did not know if Eva was shocked or scared or both. She was somewhat nervous. ”Why are you here?”
”Thought that I can stay over tonight. I missed you.” Andy hugged her and dragged her inside her apartment. ”You're still not mad at me right?”
”No.” Eva kissed him on the cheek. ”It's just some stupid rings. Our love is more than the rings.”
Eva dropped her bag on the sofa and walked to the kitchen. ”Did you have dinner? I can cook something.”
”I already ordered.”
”Oh.. okay then. Why don't you go take a shower then? You just came back from work, you smell like work.”
”Mhm.. k.”
Andy walked to the guestroom. It was a room that Eva had already prepared for Andy if he ever came over. Since Andy was a very conserved man, they never slept in the same room. He went into the bathroom that was connected to his room.
He took off his clothes and went into the shower. He turned on the faucet and nothing came on. He scowled. This was a very expensive apartment and the water is not working? He put on a bathrobe and walked to Eva's bathroom instead. She was in the living room, trying to clean up a few stuff and did not notice him going into her room.
