Chapter 243 - Her Secret Task

After informing Selene about Micaela's background and her true motive in approaching Selene, Alexa left the Anderson Family Mansion.

Selene gave her another task. That task was to keep an eye on Renz and make sure to protect him against Micaela's scheme.

Alexa heaved a deep sigh just thinking about Renz Chou, the heir of the Chou Empire and the CEO of the Star Corp.

He was supposed to marry Selene Anderson but an unfortunate incident happened during their wedding. Selene's grandmother died so they couldn't continue the wedding.

And just today, she heard from Selene that she broke off the engagement between them. Selene was worried that Micaela would grab this opportunity to make a move on Renz.

Renz was very vulnerable right now because of the breakup. He could be easily swayed by Micaela if ever she would approach him. Selene was aware that Micaela was trying to seduce Renz, capturing his heart.

So Selene asked Alexa to protect Renz by stopping him from being seduced by Micaela.

"Sigh, how can I stop him from being seduced by that woman? My Lady Boss just gave me a ridiculous mission. Is she asking me to stop Renz from seeing Micaela? This is the only way I can think of so that Renz will not be seduced by her."

Alexa scratched her face. She had no choice but to try her best. She wondered why she couldn't say no to Selene.

Aside from Micaela, Selene also asked Alexa to protect Renz because someone was threatening his life. The culprit during the shooting incident at the camping site was still at large. She wanted Alexa to investigate who the real culprit was. 

Eros told her that his speculation was that Micaela might be the one who hired the gunman. It might be a scheme to save Renz's life so that he would be indebted to her.

In Selene's previous life, Micaela even hired a person to kidnap herself just for show. She had an ulterior motive for doing that. If she was capable of doing it in her previous life, there's no doubt that she could do it again in this lifetime.

In the end, Alexa went to the Star Corp to secretly monitor Renz's movement.

"Hmm, should I install a spying device on his office or wire-tap his phone to find out if Micaela is contacting him? I can intervene if I know it and prevent them from meeting each other," Alexa mumbled to herself as she walked inside the Star Corp.

She was a hacker and good at spying as well. She could easily do that if she wanted to.

"Hmm, I think I should proceed to Chou Mansion later on and plant a monitoring device in his room," Alexa made a mental note.

Upon entering the building, Alexa stayed in the lobby, holding her laptop. She secretly tried to hack Star Corp's system to have access to their CCTV cameras.

After a few minutes, she was able to connect with their system.

"Gotcha!" Alexa mumbled. She was eating lollipops as she secretly searched for Renz through the CCTV footage.

She saw him having a meeting in the conference room. Renz looked like he was not paying attention. He was absentminded and feeling so down.

"Renz Chou… he is undeniably handsome. If I were Micaela, even if he is my enemy, I will not hesitate to seduce him. He is a good catch!" Alexa murmured as she continued watching Renz on her laptop screen.

To avoid getting caught, Alexa sent access through her phone so that she could continue to monitor Renz through her phone. It would be a hassle to use a laptop since other passersby might accidentally see her large screen.

Alexa already prepared some spying devices. First, she needed to install a tracking device on Renz's phone so that if he was in danger, she would know where to find him.

Who knows? The enemy might try to kidnap the heir of the Chou Empire. This was just a precautionary measure.

Now, she finalized her To-do list today. First: Snatch Renz's phone secretly and install a tracking device on his phone. 

She could also install something to monitor his conversation with Micaela in particular.

Second: Install spying devices in his office and in his room without his knowledge.

Thinking about it, Alexa scratched her face as she felt like she was violating his right to privacy.

"But wait… I'm doing this for his safety. I hope he will understand. Besides, I will not let him know that I am secretly monitoring him," Alexa said with a grin. She was convincing herself that she was not doing a bad thing.

"Just make sure you don't get caught!" Alexa reminded herself.

After planning her strategy and familiarizing the Star Corp Building, Alexa started to move.

She went to the Utility room and used the uniform of the utility staff. She used a cap and a mask to hide her face. It did not take long when she went to the floor where Renz's office was located.

Renz and his assistant were still in the conference room right now. Alexa grabbed this opportunity to barge into his office. She pretended to be a utility staff trying to clean Renz's office.

Inside Renz's office, there was no CCTV camera so she had to install a spying camera. When she made sure that it was all clear, Alexa picked the small camera device inside her pocket.

Her eyes roamed around the place, searching for a perfect spot where she could hide the spying camera so that Renz and his assistant would not notice it.

Then her eyes sparkled when she saw a bookshelf facing Renz's desk. It was a good spot where she could get a better view of Renz while he was working at his desk.

Without further ado, Alexa put the spying camera on the shelf. She hid it using a book that Renz would be unlikely to pick up.

A satisfied smile formed on her lips when she finished her task. Now, she had to proceed to her next task: Snatching his phone secretly!
