Chapter 238 - Sarah Keeps Badmouthing Vega

Elios just glared at Sarah's babbling about his beloved daughter. Fortunately, he still held back well because over the past dozen years he had grown accustomed to being more tolerant of annoying humans.

They arrived at Sam's office and Sarah knocked happily on the door.

"Good afternoon, Boss. You have a guest. Mr. Mischa Rhionen's assistant came to ask for some files," Sarah said in her sweet voice.

Sam, who was busy with his computer, looked up and welcomed Elios' presence in his room.

"Welcome, please have a seat. Mr. Rhionen had sent a text message saying you need to come suddenly and I must help you," said Sam kindly. "Is there anything I can help?"

Elios just stood looking at the room and said nothing. He had watched all the rooms he passed, and the people he met in this office, and his mind was imagining how Vega went through her days here.

Did Vega have friends? Were her coworkers in this office being nice to her?

He took a seat across from Sam and crossed his legs elegantly.

"That's right. I'm going to ask for all the data on Mischa Rhionen's previous assistant, Fae Muller. We're investigating something," Alaric said in a calm voice.

Sam and Sarah exchanged glances. 

"Uhm .. investigating something? Was there anything bad? Did she do something?" asked Sam in puzzlement.

"Does this have something to do with Prince Renald? Was it the court that requested this investigation?" asked Sarah enthusiastically.

Elios squinted at their enthusiasm. It looked like Sam and Sarah had different reasons for their enthusiasm on this matter, he thought.

"I can't say," said Alaric. "I just need all the data you have on the employee. How was she doing? Did she get along well with the team? Are there any projects she has done? Anyone close to her in this office?"

Sam motioned for Sarah to close the door. Obediently, the girl did so immediately. She then sat beside Sam and waited for her boss's further orders.

"Uhm ... do you want all the information that is honest and not covered up?" asked Sam, staring closely at Alaric. "I wasn't told what the purpose of this investigation is, so I can't decide what kind of information you need."

Alaric nodded. "I just want real information."

In fact, Alaric could easily get all the information he wanted to know from RMI Almstad. He could send investigators who would search all data and get honest information from everyone.

However, since it concerned his daughter, he felt it would be better if he did it on his own. At the same time, he wanted to experience for himself how his daughter lived for years, alone and suffering.

Sam nodded at Alaric's words.

"Okay ... Fee started working here in October last year and she suddenly quit working at the beginning of the year. So you could say she only spent about 3 months in this office. She didn't have any friends because three months were not enough to foster a good relationship with lots of people," Sam explained. "I think Mr. Mischa Rhionen knew Fae better than all of us here. When Fae came to apply for a job, she actually got a recommendation from Mr. Rhionen himself. So there was a bit of a stir here, because there were employees who thought Fee had a special relationship with him..."

"Special relationship? Meaning?" Elios could guess what the special relationship Sam was referring to, but he wanted to hear it from the HR Director himself.

"That means ... Fee did not graduate from college, she only studied one semester at Almstad Business School and didn't have adequate work experience. She only worked at the resort and at one cafe as a low-level employee. So, we actually doubted her ability to work. But Mr. Rhionen insisted on hiring Fae as his assistant here because he said Fee spoke the few languages ​​he needed. Well, I guess that's one of the reasons," Sam explained.

Alaric saw Sarah's face twitching and he nodded at the girl, asking her to speak.

"What do you think?" asked Alaric. "Looks like you have something to say?"

When she heard the handsome man directing his questions at her, Sarah was instantly stunned. She was barely able to speak as she was enchanted by the man's handsome face and purple eyes.

"Ah, uh ... I just wanted to add. I've seen Fee hugging Mr. Mischa Rhionen with my own eyes when they were alone in his office," Sarah stuttered. "Uhm .. well, it was my fault. I should have knocked before entering. But at that time there was a lot of gossips that Fee and Mr. Rhionen were having an affair in this office, so when I saw them hugging, it felt like I got the confirmation of their true relationship."

Elios never heard of this story from Mischa. Did it happen by chance and Sarah misunderstood ... or did Mischa really have a crush on Vega?

He started to think about this possibility.

Several years ago, Alaric finally realized that Vega liked Mischa when she was a teenager from various videos recorded by Tatiana that he watched. The videos showed how Vega was aggressively flirting with Mischa.

In fact, the reason Vega was kidnapped by the enemy was because she went to a restaurant on the Eiffel Tower alone. At that time Vega wanted to have dinner with Mischa. 

Hmm .. did she unconsciously relive her feelings for Mischa after they met again?

Alaric also remembered how Mischa was trying so hard lately to find Vega secretly.

In the past, Mischa felt very guilty because he felt responsible for Vega's kidnapping and spent so much time and effort to find her, even though without success.

Alaric had heard from Mischa how he had deliberately moved to Almstad a few months ago to investigate Vega's identity, who at that time was still Fae, even though he was fooled because Vega's fingerprint data had been faked.

Alaric stared at Sam and Sarah without blinking. "So in your opinion, there really is an affair between the two of them?"

Sarah sighed. "I thought so. But unfortunately, Fae is not a faithful woman. I'm sorry to speak like this, but I feel bad for Mr. Mischa Rhionen. He has treated her so well, but Fae just left him when she met another man who is more powerful and wealthier..."

"Sarah .. you shouldn't say that," said Sam gently.

Sarah lowered her head, hiding her dissatisfaction. "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said that. I sounded like a jealous person. Even though I'm not jealous. I'm just really concerned about Mr. Rhionen. He's so nice."

"It's okay. I want to hear what you honestly think," said Alaric. "What do you think actually happened?"
