Chapter 40 - 40. Already Missing Me?

Kizy was stunned for a while before realising what he meant. She was a little disappointed knowing that Markus had left her without any prior notice.

Kizy worked over time today and finally left for home when the sky had darkened. Joel dropped her home and talked with Markus for few minutes before leaving.

"So when are you leaving?" Kizy asked while having there dinner.

"Tomorrow morning I have a meeting with grandpa and my men, we will have our lunch and then fly to C City." Markus explained.

"Okay, then I guess I won't be meeting you after you leave in morning." Kizy said.

"Why dear, are you already missing your beloved husband?" Markus asked with a cocky smile..

"No I am happy, how I wish you would stay there for at least a month before returning back." Kizy said with disappointment.

"You just wait. I will definitely punish you for everything once I am back." Markus said.

And with that the couple bickered for there entire dinner and only stopped before going to sleep.

Next day Kizy woke up as usual and got ready. Markus was up early and was waiting for her in the dining room.

"What should I do about those blue files? They need your signature." Kizy asked while having her milk.

"That will be required next week and I will be back by then. Just in case you need any signature urgently, go search for grandpa." Markus said.

The couple had a relatively peaceful breakfast before leaving. As planned, Joel was there to pick up Kizy for office.

"Bye wifey, don't miss me too much." Markus said before leaving.

"Bye." Kizy replied monotonously and climbed the car before leaving with Joel.

Markus left with his men and discussed the details of this mission with his grandpa.

"I have already arranged a hotel for you. Once you land in C City, my men would drop you till the hotel. Rest for tonight and you can begin searching from tomorrow. I have arranged Mr. Lee to help you out whenever you need." Grandpa told Markus.

The group had there lunch before leaving for airport.

On the other hand Kizy was easily adapting to her new post, helping the employees and advicing them whenever needed.

"She is truly gifted."

"You remember she easily pinpointed the loops in contract and helped our company from signing a losing deal."

"I think Miss Kizy and Boss would make a great couple."

"Didn't your hear, yesterday boss was seen kissing Miss Kizy in his private elevator."

"Though I don't like boss with other women, but if it is Miss Kizy, I think I can accept it."

"I went to ask her about some doubts and she easily explained them within 10 minutes."

This way the entire office was praising Kizy. The ones who were scolding her for snatching there boss were now appreciating her, even imagining how great it would be if she married Markus.

Meanwhile Kizy was going through some files when she saw mistakes in the amount of price written on it.

"I guess I will have to personally meet this person to question how he was able to make all these mistakes." Kizy said to herself.

Though there wasn't any major problem with the amount, but when added together, the loss could total upto a million dollars. And somehow nobody had noticed this point. Thus she thought it would be better to meet this person and ask him in detail.

With that, Kizy went to the elevator and pressed for 31st floor where accounts department was situated. She reached the 31st floor and walked till the last room, but strangely the floor was deserted, with no employee over there.

'I think I pressed the wrong floor.' Kizy thought to herself before turning back and unlocking her phone to call Joel.

"Haha.. ha"

But suddenly she felt as if she heard someone laugh. Though the voice was very low, she was sure that she heard it correctly.

She slowly started walking in the corridor trying to find where the voice came from. And finally she found a door which was locked from inside, along with a faint voice coming out from the room.

Kizy thought for a moment before sneeking inside the next room and stopping near the little opening on top left corner of wall, which was present in all other rooms of this company.

The opening made it possible to hear what the person in adjacent room was talking.

"Yeah that damned Markus is truly done for this time. Ha ha haa..." the person said.

Kizy was even more alert now, knowing that this person was definitely up to no good.

"I have done my part, now kill him once he is there. Also I have another news." The man paused, as the other side was saying something.

After a moment he resumed.

"I guess that woman is not just a simple secretary. Markus had never given this much of authority to others, Joel included. But he allowed her to do whatever she wants. Plus this is the first time Joel is not accompanying him on mission. I think this woman is definitely important to him as he left Joel behind to protect her." The man said.

Kizy was even more confused now. 'What mission is he talking about? Why does he knows details about Markus and Joel? Who is he talking with?' all those thoughts started forming in her mind.

He paused for another minute before speaking.

"Don't worry I will take care of her. You first focus on Markus. We have been waiting for this opportunity for months, so don't waste it. Boss won't accept any mistakes this time. If anything goes wrong, boss will definitely punish all of us together, so stay alert." The man said.

"Call me once you have killed him. Ok I need to go now, or else someone might suspect me." The man said before hanging up the call.

Kizy heard the man opening and closing the door before his steps could be heard fading away. She silently opened the door hoping to catch a glimpse of his face.

But unfortunately, by the time she was out, the man had already disappeared. And most importantly the elevator was still there, which meant he didn't use the elevator.

But all the information that she had recieved just now was truly shocking. Though Markus was very successful and had a lot of enemies, why would someone want to kill him. And it felt that the opposite party knew where he was heading now, when even she was kept in dark.

She immediately ran back to her office before calling Markus. But his phone was switched off, which meant that he had already boarded the plane.

"Shit!! What should I do now. If what that man said was true, then it is very dangerous for him to even land at the place where he is going." Kizy thought with frustration.
