Chapter 202 - Project Site (1/2)

The next day,

Adam woke up bright and early. Just like the previous day, the first thing he noticed was the face of his beloved girlfriend which was not only brightening up his phone's screen, but his day as well.

He smiled like a lovesick fool that he always was around her, keeping his eyes set on the 6.5 inches long screen of his limited edition phone. Placing a kiss on it, he ended the call with a heavy heart. He got out of the covers, but not before sending her a loving text.

”Good morning, Boss.” His team entered the meeting room, one by one and greeted him. They were a bit confused when each of them received a text from him. They couldn't understand as to why would he call them so suddenly when he himself had ordered them to go and search the warehouses to look for clues.

”You guys must be wondering why I called you here?” He began to speak when everyone had settled down. ”You guys can go back to the assigned task but I need two of you to look over something.” He added as he passed them a bunch of papers which were stapled together.

”I decided to come here before heading to the project site. While talking to the head manager, I realized something. His secretary, she is new at the job. His former secretary was a man who was working by his side since we established this branch. I have even met him a few times in person when the construction work wasn't complete. It's really out of his character to resign from the job. I feel like there's something fishy at the back end.” He continued.

”Why don't try calling him, Boss?” One of his men suggested to which Adam just shook his head.

”I already tried that, but his phone number doesn't even exist.” He pursed his thin lips. ”I want two of you to look into this matter and track him down. I want him present before my eyes by the end of the day. You can coordinate with number 'Eleven' on this one.” He added as he pointed towards the lean man.

He got up from his seat and began to head out of the room. ”You guys can go and work on your assigned tasks.” He uttered slowly yet firmly without turning his attention towards them.

”This section is basically for the machines. They scan each and every part using a laser system to make sure that they aren't defaulted by any means. Each machine is set to analyse a single part. The ones which are okay, are passed to the assembly lines where the parts are put together.” The head manager explained to Adam as he gave him an overview of the production unit which was one of the four main buildings.

They were currently standing behind a thick transparent glass wall. The room was in such a position that it looked over the entire area, allowing the person standing behind the glass wall to easily visualize the entire production process.

Adam just hummed in response. At that particular moment, he couldn't care less about the process of how their cellphones are made. It was the first time that the Levinson's Corp. was going to launch their own cell phones under the brand name of 'Touch'. The marketing team decide on such a name because they will only produce high end smartphones for the upper class people.

He eyed the people who were present with him inside the room. All of them held an important post and were the higher ups assigned to look over the project.

”What's next?” He questioned the head manager who was sweating buckets under his scrutinizing gaze. Before the poor man could answer him, his phone began to vibrate inside his pocket. He could tell without even looking at the screen of who might be the caller. He asked everyone to leave the room to which they complied right away.

He locked the room from the inside and finally took out his phone which was still vibrating.

”I am so sorry. I know you must be busy right now and I promised myself that I won't call you until you are back to your hotel room. But I was just having this weird feeling that something bad might have happened to you so I decided to check on you myself.” Stella's voice came through the phone's speaker immediately after he had connected the call. He heard her apologizing and explaining herself, all in one breath. He couldn't help but chuckle as he asked her to stop her ranting.
