Chapter 22 Meet Elaine Again

Inside Alfred Club, Alfred was so furious after receiving the phone call that he threw his phone onto the wall, shattering it into pieces. He did not expect that Peter would get away from his well-planned scheme.

He almost went nuts upon hearing that Captain Niu and the other policemen were being punished so hard and that they could even be sent to jail.

Captain Niu was not a very important person for him but still Alfred had used his money to give him the position of head of the police. Now, the captain's career was doomed, and Alfred did not want to reconcile with this fact.

"I never expected James to do right by Peter. What is the relationship between them? Peter is not just an ordinary security guy?"

Alfred was lost in his thoughts. If Peter was just a nobody, Alfred would chasten him without hesitation. But now that James was involved, he had to be careful about it.

Alfred had sent his underlings to figure out the relationship between Peter and James, and he also had them investigate Peter's background. He was waiting for the result of the investigation.

Alfred's other phone rang after one hour. He picked up the phone with a bleak look.

"I thought Peter had some connections with people in authority. It turned out that he had just been very lucky." Alfred hung up the phone coldly and dialed a number.

"Send more staff to wait for Peter at his apartment. I want him to disappear from the world tonight! Once things are done, arrange the staff involved to go abroad. That way, the murder won't be linked to me."

Apparently, Alfred was burning with rage with what had happened tonight. He wanted Peter to die at any cost.

The night had passed quietly, and

Peter woke up at 8 o'clock as usual. He put on his clothes and ran to the toilet. He ran so fast that he did not notice Grace greeting him.

Peter had just been in the toilet for ten seconds when Audrey, who was in her pajamas, also ran to the toilet. She ran so fast that she did not notice Grace trying to inform her of something.

"Oh my god!"

Grace was about to tell Audrey something, but a scream interrupted her.

'Something must be wrong. Audrey should be the one screaming. Why does it sound like Peter?'

Grace was confused.

Peter was taking his number one when the toilet door was opened brutally by someone. Peter screamed out, surprised.

He then looked at Audrey alertly, trying hard to compose his words, "What... what are you going to do?"

The scream sobered Audrey. She was annoyed when she saw the scared look on Peter's face as if she had intended to see him in the toilet.

"I haven't said anything. Why on the earth did you scream? And why are you acting so scared? You bastard!" Audrey shouted out in agitation. She almost hit Peter with her hands.

Peter seemed more afraid, so he lowered his head and said in a low voice, "Now that you've entered and seen me without pants, could you now go out first?"

There was no way Peter would be able to continue peeing under the sight of an angry woman.

"You!" Audrey was so angry that she stomped her feet and slammed the door with a huge bang. "You only have half a minute. Hurry up!"

Peter had no choice, so

He went out in half a minute with a sad look on his face. Grace laughed at Peter's expression.

It was already half past eight after he had breakfast at the Xie family. Peter was suddenly reminded that he left his scooter by the barbecue store, and now, he was not sure whether it was still there.

Without his precious scooter, he had to take the metro. He had no idea that a dozen of people were yawning in front of the apartment he had rented. They had waited a whole night for him to come home because

They were all commanded to beat Peter up to death.

They never expected that Peter would not return home at all. They had been waiting the whole night, but Peter did not appear at all.

With this, they all got frustrated. They had failed their mission, and they even got too

tired and drowsy as they waited for nothing.

It was almost nine in the morning. It would not be suitable for them to wait any longer since many people were already walking out their apartments.

Alfred did not sleep well last night, either. He was waiting for some updates. At nine in the morning, he was informed that Peter did not return to his apartment at all last night.

He got so furious that he threw his phone, shattering it into pieces, again.

--

Peter had no idea about all that. Right now, he was inside the crowded metro.

He had once heard that many beautiful women also took the metro. It could be a great chance to get close to these beauties.

As he looked around, he got so disappointed. There were only men with robust features nearby, no beauty in sight at all.

Peter was determined to give anybody who would ever tell him that many beauties gather in the tubes a slap on the face.

Several stations had passed, and many men had already gotten on and off the train. Suddenly, one beauty showed up in his sight.

This beauty had a gorgeous and perfect figure. Her office uniform fitted her so well.

Peter felt it a pity not being able to see her face clearly because of the crowding passengers around. She was definitely a great beauty with a seductive figure.

He did not want to stay where the robust men were any more, so he squeezed toward the beauty.

Some of the men also noticed the beauty and wanted to squeeze themselves toward her, too. However, Peter was strong and quick enough to get close to the beauty first.

The other men were obviously pissed at Peter, but they did not dare make any complaints because Peter was six-feet tall and had a strong built.

As Peter got closer to the beauty, he checked her out from top to bottom. When he was about to touch the beauty, a familiar voice interrupted him. He had to draw his hand back.

"Oh, Peter! It's really you! What are you going to do?" Elaine was surprised, but she smiled from her heart. She could not tell what she should feel when she saw Peter drawing back his hand.

"Oh!" Peter let out a sound of surprise and disappointment. What a bad luck! The beauty was Elaine who had once helped him.

'How could you, Peter, take out your hand to touch her! Now, what you did was seen by her!' Peter thought, 'Your good impression in Elaine's mind was totally ruined.'

Fortunately, he was keen enough to have found that there were some dust in Elaine's dress. He pointed that out and said, "Elaine, I saw dust on your dress and wanted to pat it away."

Elaine looked over to where Peter had pointed. There was indeed dust on her dress, but it was close to her thighs. It was nevertheless not suitable for a man to pat a female on the thigh.

Elaine blushed timidly. She felt a little bit disappointed that she had not charmed Peter.

On the other hand, Peter did not know what Elaine really thought about him. He had a special feeling for her and regarded her as his benefactor.

He could act like a jerk and flirt around with Shelly, Lisa, Bella, or Clair, but not Elaine.

"Peter, how was work yesterday in the company? Was everything okay with you? I didn't get any time to see you. I was too busy yesterday, " Elaine asked, hiding her feelings for him.

"Everything went well for me. Don't worry. I'm doing great. Elaine, why did you take the metro? Don't you own a car?" Peter could not figure out why Elaine who earned millions a year took the metro to work. She was just too low key.

Elaine was happy to hear Peter calling her by her name. However, she felt off with his questions.

"I sold my car. Forget about it. It has nothing to do with you. Just take care of yourself and work hard. If you get into any trouble, you can call me. I will support you in any way I can."

"I will. Thank you." Peter felt that Elaine became uncomfortable with his questions, so he asked, "Elaine, why did you sell your car? Tell me. I can do you a favor if you need me to."
